REYNOLDS CREAMERY CO. QUIT BIG LOSERS

Stockholders Had $5,775 Investment; Will Get Back For Distribution Small Sum of $559.

The Reynolds creamery is now a thing of the past. At the sale held Saturday the building, lots, machinery and equipment were sold a auction. C. C. Wheeler, the elevator man, bought the two lots, each 60x205 feet,. and building for $475. The machinery and the rest of the equipment brought SB4, or a total of $569 for all. Mr. Wheeler will probably convert the building into a cottage. The company was originally formed by 55 men with 55 one hundred dollar shares. Each of the men at one time had to pay in $5, so that the total investment for each man was $lO5. Each of the stockholders will now receive somewhere around eight or nine dollars. The creamery was a valuable asset to the town and it is regretted that it has passed out of existence.

Join Hamill’s Ford party. It pays. Mrs. E. E. Smith is visiting relatives in Chicago. Deols Thompson has returned home from his trip to Florida where he and W. F. Smith, with whom he is as* sociated in the road contracting business, combined business with pleasure and while looking after some road contracts also spent several days in the “big game” district, where they shot deer and one wildcat. John McCurtain is said to be causing his divorced wife some trouble. Before their divorce Jdhn used to terrorize her but he had been away most of the time since. There should be some prompt and effective way of bringing him up with a short halter and perhaps if John understood that he might get to join the Jasper county colony at the penal farm for the next few months he would vamoose. It’s a big world and full of women and John ought to find some one that appreciates his company instead of forcing himself where he has frequently been admonished he is not wanted. Standard S2O suits and overcoats $16.75; sl2 all wool blue serge suits $9.75; $3 hats for $2, when you’re Hamillized. „ " Monticello, which was roped as was Rensselaer by factory pirates and Which built two large buildings in which to locate the concerns and then had them left, is now to have the second one occupied by what looks like a good manufacturing company. Some years ago the other was occupied and now the other has been let to the Lasco company, a small concern which is being organized in Monticello for a capital stock of SIO,OOO. The products of the concern are so far kept secret but it is said that the field for marketing the articles will be all of the United States. The patents are controlled by L. A. Seyfrath, of SanFranciseo, who is organizing the company. Among other things manufactured will be an electric lamp for the use of physicians and surgeons. Safety first. Get Hamillized and you’ll be safe when you buy clothes. For the first time in its history the Brook Reporter comes out thia week without a merchant in the town having a display ad in the paper. The Republican was always under the impression that Brook was a live town, but with a set of dead merchants like the town evidently is composed of, Brook will possess neither newspaper nor merchants in the near future. The Reporter says: “We have published your prosperity and your adversity, and yet we are like the preacher who lived ip this town several years ago. He asked a well-to-do citizen for a contribution to the church. '’‘Why,” said he, “I never go to church except to attend funerals.’ ‘Well,’ said the parson, ‘Mr. Blank, we can’t afford to keep this Church going just for you to attend funerals in’.” ’ „ - -
