The Meyer Bros, have their new store building finished and will soon be ready to commence business, as John went to Chicago last week and laid iu a full supply of dry goods.

Goff fails to make preparations fast enough to suit { them to erect a hall for their benefit. Mr. Goff ordered his lumber two weeks ago and never heard any thing of it until today, when he found it was on a side track at a small station. Be in good cheer, boys, as it’s not Mr. Goff’s fault. Our business man, Frank Peters, says he’s going to quit deal- ' ing in hay if he can’t get a Pan Handle car twice in a mouth to ship in. Frank, you ought not to be discouraged, when other hay men scarcely can get one car in two months. Mr. Henry Fisher’s family is having quite a severe time battling with the measles. Seven of them are bed-fast, J. N. McGlinn has closed his notion store in the Leopold building and will commence clerking for Wm.
