What Is announced as a “big political meeting” will be held here on Friday evening. Senator Hemenway 'will not be here, as first announced, probably for the reason that, he is a “wet” statesman and has bit off all he can "chaw” in the south part of the state. George E. Ried of Pennsylvania has been substituted as the orator. VMrs. I. B. Marion and daughter 'Little returned Saturday Wrom a several months stay at Wall, So.

Bolser fixed up the insurance on the soda fountain, gas engine and glass fixtures in the front part of the Little Gem bakery at $35, and the other insurance has not been adjusted but will be soon at about S3OO.
