tions, all of which were interes-
ting and well rendered.
— The Holiness meeting held
under a tent in Factory lot, on

— Wood is certainly a scarce
article in these parts just at this
time, likewise, corn; as to corn
meal, with an excellent mill in
town and several in t he surround

exclusive use of the imported
"mixture," most of which is not
even a fair substitute, much of it
not relished even by the little
chicks.

ful meeting with Mesdames C.
B. Garwood and Paul D. Page, at

manner. Delicious refreshments
were served and pleasant social
intercourse furnished fitting cli-
max to the occasion.

B. Haralson, in charge of the
i railroad bridge spanning the Col-
^orado river south of town, will
^hear with regret that wnile in
town Sunday before last, he was
suddenly taken violently ill, ne-
cessitating taking him home, ac-
companied by Dr. Combs, after

second hand goods is practically as good an new, having been over
hauled, refinished and put in first class shape. The price of course
is very much less than for new goods. At the same time 1 carrj
