New Homes.

Along with the interest N the shoe
factory and the proposition for new
cottages and homes in Union City,
some of our moro progressive citizens
are anticipating these conditions by
advance work in home building. DR..
E. M. Long is having foundation
work made for a new cottage in the
southern part of town. Mr.. Tom
Reynolds is also building a new
house near his family residence. Mr..
Geo. M. Adams, the carpenter and
builder, is arranging to build two
new houses in the southern part of
town. All of these activities, to-
gether with road building and
street building, factory building,
eac., are the signs of prosperity in
Union City. We understand the con-
tract on the Brown Co. shoe factory

COMPLETE FAILURE

coin crop complete failure.
American pockets are so full of sill
yer that there will be no nickels,
dimes, quarters, or half-dollars coined
this year, F. E. Scobey, director of the
mint announces.
As for pennies, only paltry $4,000
worth have been coined at the Denver
mint, as against $4,000 worth the
preceding year.
There have been approximately
S46,000,000 worth of pennies coined
since the mint began in 1892" said
Scobey. so what's the uses of max
ing more, when about the only things
you can still buy with a penny nova
days are lollypops?"
This is the first time in 10S years
that half dollars have not been coined !;
the first time in SO years that no quar-
tiers have been coined; the first time
in 81 years that no dimes have been
coined; with the exception of the year
1877, the first time in 81 years that no
nlckels have been coined; and with
| the exception of the years 1915 and
1873, the first time since the beginning
of the mint in 1898, 129 years ago
that so few pennies have been coined
This is the first year since 1905 that
silver dollars have been coined. In
1905, $8,812,000 silver dollars were
coined. This year the order is fol-
