GENERAL AND STATE NEWS

Telegraphic Reports From Many Parts of the Country. SHORT BITS OF THE UNUSUAL Happenings in Distant Mid Nearby Citiefl and Towns.—Matters of Minor Mention From Many Places. Monticello Editor Compliments a Rensselaer Store. While in Rensselaer one evening recently, the Journal man had the pleasure of looking through the Rowles & Parker general store in the Forsythe room. This firm had their sto-'k ruined by a fire early this year which also damaged the room seriously. As soon as the firm cleared out the damaged stock Mr. Forsythe remodeled the room and building until it is a dream of beauty. The counters and furniture and shelving are all of ebonized birch of neat design and the tiers of shelving down the center of the room are not quite as high as an average person, giving excellent light and an opportunity to see over the room. The show windows are of latest design and attract one’s attention the moment they come in sight.—Monticello Journal.
