ing and established his business which
has shown most gratifying growth.
The building is a modern brick
structure, imposing in appearance has
plate glass show windows and the in
terror is arranged and equipped in
accordance with the most advanced
ideas in merchandising facilities. The
lines include groceries, flour and pro-
visions of all kinds, dry goods, boots
and shoes, wall paper and the lines
that properly belong in a general stock.
Some idea of the high standard of
quality which prevails in this store
can be CLEANED from the fact that the
lines include Darlington Hall coffee.
Zelz shoes, Gold Seal rubber goods.
Devoe Lead and Zinc paints as well
as many other we'll known lines.
Mr.. Moffatt has had an extensive
experience in the mercantile business
and possesses all of those qualities
so essential to success.

farm machinery, buggies, wagons,
paints, oils, pumps, plumbing, roofing.

Arpin is practically a new town

of 100 lots, adjoining the business sec
ton, was recently put on the market
and only few of them are now being
held by the owner, Mr. Moffatt. These

inder Buick which they have sold. The
new model has an absolute stream
line body and the wheel-base is eight
inches longer than the 1917 model be-
sides many other refnements and i'm
provements.
The fact that this concern is a re-
cognized headquarters for everything
in its lines has played most import
ant part in the upbuilding of the town
as a trading center.
Proof of this is furnished by the
fact that this company draws its trade
from miles around and from territory
naturally tributary to other towns.
The officers of the company are II.

Teacher Resigns

Miss Grace Lash. who last year taught
the fourth and fifth grades in the schools
of Clio, and has taught the fifth grade
this year, resigned her position last
Monday. 1t appears that Mrs. Beck
with has had 65 pupils in the primary
and the Board wanted Miss
Lash, who was teaching 33 pupils, to
take part of those in Mrs. Beckwith's 5
room in order to equalize the numbers
Miss Lash declined to do this and as
the Board insisted, she resigned, Miss
Hazel jennings, of Dawson, being Sc
cured to take her place. We do not
know enough of circumstances to make
any comment, but we are sorry Miss
Lash resigned as we have reason to be-
lieve that she was very efficient
teacher.
