Bob Holmes is painting his property on Main street, which certainly adds greatly to its appearance, as this property had been neglected for a number of years, and it had begun to look somewhat gloomy.

Elwood Roberts has moved to Greenfield and has purchased the Helpher car and will continue the shoe repair work. He owns his residence at Greenfield and the same has been vacant for some time. He has decided to occupy it himself rather than let it stand vacant.

Shirley's electric light plant is .just, about completed, and if nothing else turns up, the streets will soon be lighted by a fine lighting plant, and her main streets are soon to have attention. Then, w-hen that is completed, with her recent improvements as to new7 business blocks, will place Shirley in the city class for sure.

Brown township is in need of a justice of the peace, to be located at Shirley to attend to those minor affairs that are always coming up. We would think that Uncle Billy Johnson would be a very good person for the place.

We notice that our neighboring town, Wilkinson, has her main street oiled and it has been packed and traveled upon so that it is getting in fine shape. Tt looks as though it is a good idea and other towns will soon take up with the idea also. Shirley main street is soon to be improved, and the omission of the oiling process is due to that fact.

A piece of Furniture may look beautiful, as you see it on the

floor, but what do you KNOW about its serviceable qualities?

When you buy Furniture these have a direct effect on your

pocketbook one way or the other. Don't fall into the costly

habit of taking things for granted. My practical experience en­

ables me to show you and give you the best, and my low ex­

penses permits me to sell lower than any one. I save you 25 to

50 per cent. I have a few Refrigerators I am going to close out

25 per cent less than heretofore.
