Occupying Fine New Home

Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Bear moved into
their beautiful new home on West
Broadway this week. They had been
occupying the Levi Bulls home on
West Main street for several years.
This residence was recently sold to
E. T. Reed, and possession was Civ
en- last Saturday. 1t necessitated
Mr.. and Mrs. Bear moving a couple
of weeks sooner than they expected,
as their home is not yet quite COM
plete. The new home is fine mod
ern residence in every respect. 1t is
a two story residence, eight rooms,
and has fine modern basement.
The white stucco exterior lends a
handsome appearance to the house,
and the interior is of white and ma
hogany. 1t is an ideal home, very
beautiful, and still it is conspicuous
for it's simplicity. Mrs. Bear, the
gracious lady who will preside over
the destinies of this fine home with
her estimable husband, has every
reason to feel proud of it, 1t is just
the kind of a home that will bring
pleasure and comfort to them for the
future years to come.

Heavy Frost Thursday Night.

The first killing frost of the year
arrived last Thursday night, and the
thermometer was down to %. AS SO
is freezing, it demonstrates that it
was some cold. OF course the corn
has suffered as a result of the frost,
but at that there will be some pref
ty good corn in the county, we are
tod, anyway. 1915 has certainly
made some record as far as unfavor-
able weather goes.

Purchased High Grade Baldwin Piano

Nine. Ohlsen-Solem, the we'll

a Baldwin Concert Grand piano from
Rud Bros, the DEBORAH agents of
the well known piano. 1t is an ex-

to say any more for its quality.

titled, 1.-THE Stubbornness of Gera1-
