Ben Zellers is now equipped and prepared to do auto livery work. Therefore we now have two auto liverys in town and everybody can ride. Opposition is the life of trade. It is reported that Arthur Ropp has purchased of his father-in-law the property in the north part of town and will take possession as soon as 01 Brouhard, the present occupant, can get out.

Our new postmistress took charge of the postoffice Saturday evening. They moved it over into Erwin’s store until they can build a room for it.

So you see, if any one comes to our town hungry there will be no reason for them going away in the same condition, unless it is on account of their not having the price, as we will have two hot lunchrooms.
