New Methodist Parsonage. Mainly through the persistent efforts of Rev. A. L. Weaver, it has been made possible to build a parsonage on the ohurch property on the corner of Pearl and Harrison streets. The members of the church and others not connected with any church here have been liberal so far with their donations. The house will be finished by October if the weather remains favorable. Much labor has been donated, for which the management is very grateful, .as it deducts that much from the amount of money to be raised. The first story will be made of cement blocks and the upper story frame, with seven rooms, making it large enough for an ordinary family and providing a study for the minister. . Business Change. The Miller Brothers, who have been the leading merchants of the place for many years, and who recently sold Out the business here to Mr. Henly, have bought a hardware business at Syracuse and will soon move to that city. The Millers have been successful business men and are well acquainted with the hardware business, having formerly owned the hardware at this place in connection with their general merchandise. , The Journal is sorry to see these two families leave Claypool, but |hey have decided to make the change and Claypool’s loss will be Syracuse’s gain. We bespeak for the Miller Bros, a prosperous business in their new location, as they are shrewd energetic business men who will make a success of business wherever they oast their lot as they are deserving, hustling men in the prime of life, with much experience in the mercantile line. Success to you, boys. —Claypool Journal, j . We are informed by Mr. L. N. Kitson that the above is correct. An account of failing health Mr. Kitson decided to dispose of the hardware department and devote his entire attention to the lumber business. Illi' II —— !■■■ ■!I J _ < Good Philosophy. , Now when you come right down to good, sound reasoning, says a modern philosopher, isn’t it a fact that the troubles of a rich man and poor man are equally divided? The rich man has a square meal and a canary appetite. The poor man has a canary meal and a square appetite. The rich man wants the poor man’s appetite and the poor man wants the rich man’s meal. And there you are! The rich man hasn’t money enough to buy the poor man’s appetite and the poor man lacks funds to buy the rich man’s meal. And there you are again. Mark Twjin, who is also a modern philosopher as well as an ancient one, tells us that when he was a boy he resolved that if he ever had a spare dollar he would invest every cent of it for doughnut". When he.became a man he had the spare dollar but didn’t want the doughnuts.—Ex. Bread I Bread I Breadl ' ... \ < The home bread bakers are having troubles of their own these days, whether they are using Syracuse floqr or any other brand. The cold nights makes the sponge rise slowly, so consequently the germ and gluten of the flour gives the bread a dark color, The follow, ing suggestions may help the housewife to retain the bread’s white and natural oolor. First, warm the flour before setting the sponge. Second, keep the temperature in the kitchen, 70 or 80 degrees, and lastly, do not open the door, allowing a cold draught to blow over the sponge while it is in the process of rising. In short take as much pains and watchful care making the bread ae the miller does in making the flour and your bread will never fail to be good. - P. O. Wood & Co. * Mrs. Chester Kitson went to North Manchester Wednesday fori, visit of a week or so. J
