The proprietors of the Plaza
| Theatre have. recently invested in a
new screen, which enables them to
show their pictures much more eff
lfectively.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Gildner left
Tuesday morning for Colfax, Iowa,
where Mr.. Gildner will take treat
ments in the hope Of getting rid of an
attack of rheumatism which has both
cred him more or less for several
weeks.
VIM. Seward announces in this
issue of the Democrat that he has
purchased the vulcanizing plant on the
second floor Of the Haug & Sons gar
age in this city. Mr.. Seward is first
class workman, and will do large
amount of work.
Clarence Cox was business visi-
tor in Des Moines several days last
week, and while there he purcased
a modern vulcanizing machine. As soon
as the season opens he will open a
modern and up-to-date vulcanizing
plant in Manchester.
-E. M. Hughes left Sunday after
noon for Chicago to attend the style,
shows put on by the eastern manu-
factureres and the Chicago manu-
facturers and the Chicago manu-
in large consignment OF merchandise
for his dry goods store.
w. H. Meffert, who has been E.
M. Daniels right hand man in hand
ling the work of the Eclipse Lumber
company In Manchester, has been pro-
NOTED to the position of manager of
the yards at Winthrop, and moved his
household goods to that city on Mon
day. Mr. Meffert is one of the most
dependable young fellows that has
ever been in the employ of the COM
pany, and in promoting him to the
position of manager Of yard the
company is simply recognizing his
ability as a business man. Mr.. and
Mrs. Meffert go to Winthrop with the
best wishes Of their Manchester
friends.
Only about half-dozen persons
were present at the annual meeting
of the Delaware County Chapter of the
American Red Cross at the Carnegie
Library last Friday afternoon. There
not being quorum present no busi-
ness was transacted, and the old Of
ficers and directors will be obliged
to hold their positions until another
meeting can be called. 1t is rather
singular that those who are SO quick
to criticise SOME of the work that
has been done in this county by a
comparatively few connected with the
Red Cross, should not manifest enough
interest in the work to at least attend
the annual meeting.
The w. d. Hoyt Company brought
in a change Of ADVERTISEMENT too late
for insertion in this weeks issue. In
this advertisement the company calls
the attention of the farmers to the
fact that National Repair week will be
observed from February 2Sth to March
5th, and during that time the COM
pany will make special effort to get
such repairs as their customers need.
This is very timely advise and every
farmer should make out his list of
repairs he is likely to need and not
wait until it is time to take the ma
chimes into the field, and then wait
several days for repairs.
Howard l.. Cook, who recently
purchased the small farm just west
OF Manchester from L. L. Platt has
moved onto the place. Mr.. Cook held
one OF the most successful thorough
bred hog sales in the Novelty Stables
last Friday, that has been held here
in many day. Mr.. Cook is firm be-
lever in newspaper publicity, and
used the newspapers Of the county as
a medium of publicity. To keep in line
with the old idea that you have to
peddle lot of hand bills in order to
attract a crowd, Mr.. Cook had num-
Der of bills printed, but in the hurry
of things he forgot all about his sale
bills until after the sale. Mr. Cook
is more convinced than ever now that
il you want to have successful
sale you have to advertise 1t IN the
