The Progress feels like shaking
hands with Itself this week end cele-
brating. not In a manner however
to cause any alarm to our wife, our
pastor or the city marshal. For some
months we have been laboring under
heavy disadvantages In the matter of
inconvenience and expellee and des-
pite our moat earnest efforts we have
not during this time been able to make
and not up to the standard we had
previously set. For two or three
years tile Progress management has
contemplated the installation of a
Linotype machine and all the time
expected within a few months we
would be Justified In ordering the
chine. As a consequence of this
we have withheld the ordering of new
type ter the Simplex type ratting ma-
chine which has been doing vattiant
service on the Tl itgTeee ■ tar mom six
and which Is still a valuable
of machinery. The type had
