Last Day of D. A. Kloethe And His Great Fire Sale.

This is the last day of D. A. Kloethe and his great fire sale, and there is no doubt that no sale anywhere near approaching the success of his was ever held in Jasper county. He entered upon the task with great vigor and his ardor never Waned, but almost every day brought out some new feature to greatly add to the interest the pub* lie took in the sale and to cause them to come in large numbers and from long distances to get in on the bargains offered. Mr. Kloethe is a remarkable man and his methods of business have attracted a great deal of attention. He has been ably assisted by Miss Mabel Erffmeyer, J. Ross Moore and John Feek, who came here with him and for some time by a number of the former Rowles & Parker clerks and also a number of extra clerks. Tonight’s auction is expected to be a pyrotechnic finish of the great sale and many will doubtless be out to attend it. Mr. Kloethe and his assistants will go from here to Piper City, where his own store suffered fire damage and where L. E. Barber is conducting a fire sale. After that stock is cleared up he will remodel his store there and again engage in business but will continue buying up fire damaged and bankrupt stocks and selling them out.

The sewer on the south side of Washington street has caused trouble for a long time and yesterday Marshal Shesler had it dug into at several places and found that it was lower by some four inches at Cullen street than it was in front of W. J. Wright’s store. Naturally it would clog up. Dirt from the garage had contributed to the trouble. It is a pity that an adequate sewer ean not be laid before Washington street is bricked. Something will have to be done and it would be economy to put down an 18 inch or 2 foot sewer before the new street Is constructed.
