Again, many persons fall in life because of a wrong choice. One should consider well the kind of business he wishes to enter, the character and attitude of the business and his knowledge of and ability to conduct the business which he chooses. These are essentials of the first importance. Many persons go into business simply because they see others succeeding along certain lines without reference to any or other of them. This is a mistake which is bound to result fatally, leaving discouragement if not disaster in its wake. Good for Billiousness "I took two of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets last night, and I feel fifty per cent. than I have for weeks, says J. J. Firestone of Allegan, Mich.

Toulon. Slight seismic shocks occurred again Monday in Draguignac, Vaucluse and Puy-Separande. No damage is reported, but the residents are pane-trickened. Oysters are preparing for their busy season. Soon the vacation season will take a well earned rest. Trains seem to be more dangerous than aeroplanes these days. Fortunately the past tense of the verb "to fly" is usually "landed safely." Says a London dairyman: "Cows are made happy by music." Moosic, don't you mean? Automobilists who are killed in races do not even advance the cause of science. Reading a barograph seems to be much like reading an Egyptian obelak, only more so. Ask the man who is doing the other man's work what he thinks of vacations as an institution. Walking is one of the best possible means of exercise, but most people are content with knowing it. Water is growing scarcer in Manhattan and the Bronx. New Yorkers will have to cut out the chaser. Man can now fly higher than the birds do. The birds, however, take no thought of the price of gasoline. Yoz have been misinformed, Esmeralda. Very few aviators have been injured by the breaking of the hangar. It is one of the saving graces of false teeth that they never almost drown anybody the way cork legs do. We know a man who will beat Beachey's altitude record when he gets the bill for his wife's fall millinery. That the governors of twenty-three states favor uniform divorce laws may result in putting divorce in a strait-facket. As a matter of fact, flying is still dangerous; but the danger will never be eliminated without practice and experiment. In Missouri the sunflower has been officially declared to be a weed, and Kansas is defiantly invited to make the most of it. A mule that is not to be ridden nights or worked days becomes the property of a Tennessee, by will. What is be to do with it? New York reports the meanest theft we have heard of recently. He has been stealing electric fans out of the offices of overheated millionaires. Pet snakes are recommended as exterminators of mice, but the practice will never become popular among those who are inclined to be convivial. One man gets a divorce because his wife will not kiss him and another leaves home because his wife kisses Him too often. Men are hard to satisfy. A Los Angeles man was fined 10 cents for assault and battery. Los Angeles is a great place to live if one is a heavyweight and in good physical condition. A French scientist announces that there never was any such person as Julius Cesar. If the French scientist is right Mark Antony made a ine oration over nothing. That wealthy New Yorker who seeks privacy by building a fence 150 feet high around his house will have the satisfaction of knowing that the exclusive frog at the bottom of a well has no advantage of him. From Paris comes as the newest thing in woman's fashions the aeroplane sleeve, the armhole of which extends from the shoulder to the waist. It is the beholder instead of the wearer who is sent up in the air by this weird creation. One of the weather experts explains that a stagnant streak of air near the equator has been responsible for the hot weather of the present summer. We are busy hoping the streak of stagnant air will keep on being stagnant through the coming winter. An eastern lady ruined a valuable antique clock by throwing it at her husband. Her sim probably was so poor that she hit the skim or the baby grand piano instead of her husband. Women should always be careful about throwing things which are costly. Imagine the genius who sits in a hot office in a city engaged in writing about the inducements of the resorts on his line of railroad! Los Angeles policemen are to wear roller skates. Now the small boy will yearn more than ever to be a police-man when he grows up. A Milwaukee man declares that his wife communes with spirits and he therefore wants a divorce. It is usually the male member of the family who is interested in spirits. Berlin is objecting to the requirements of black frock coats at weddings and funerals. They are considered unnecessary hardships. A man in Philadelphia hypnotized a robber whom he caught in his house. The burglar, though escape was near, was unable to move under the influence exerted over him by his captor. This should be a warning to all burglars either to find out whether their intended victims are possessed of hypnotic powers, or else to cultivate their own power of self-control.

Madrid.-King Alfonso has signed a decree suspending the constitutional guarantees, a general railroad strike has been called, the nation is practically under martial law and the fall of the Spanish throne is threatened. These drastic measures bring to a crisis the revolution agitation which has been fomenting for several months. In the labor strikes the government recognizes an attempt to overthrow King Alfonso and establish a republic and the measures of suppression will be sharp and swift. Disorder is reported from every corner of Spain. The revolution is gaining headway at an alarming rate, despite the proclamation of bayonet rule. Great excitement prevails in government circles. The railroads of the country will be tied up as well as most of the manufactories in the industrial sections. Thousands of men will be idle.

A mob stormed the jail at Bilboa in an attempt to free the prisoners and their purpose was frustrated only by a volley from the troops. Twenty-six were wounded.

Jews, fearing a massacre more violent than any yet recorded in Russia's black history, are fleeing from the country in hordes. Hundreds left the province of Kiev immediately upon hearing of the premier's death, and as the news reaches the outlying provinces thousands of the persecuted people are crossing the borders for safety. The utmost excitement prevails in the government centers, where diligent search is being made for others of the revolutionary band of which Borgoff is believed to be a member. Almost until the last the premier was consolous, and for half an hour his wife alone was at his bedside. Half an hour before his death Stolypin asked the doctors to turn him on his side. He died peacefully, surrounded by several of his relatives and state officials. TRUST ASKED TO DISSOLVE Government Will Allow Harvester Company to Reorganize in Compliance With Sherman Act.

STEAMSHIP OLYMPIC BADLY DAMAGED IN COLLISION WITH BRITISH CRUISER HAWKE. Largest Passenger Vessel Afloat Turns Back to Southampton With Large Hole Near Stern—No Panie Among 3,000 People Aboard. Southampton, England.—The steam- ship Olympic of the White Star line, the largest vessel afloat, which left here with a large crowd of returning American tourists, lies off Calshot Castle badly damaged as a result of being rammed by the British cruiser Hawke. The collision occurred off the north side of the Isle of Wight. A great hole was stove in the starboard quar- ter of the Olympic, but the 2,000 pass- engers escaped unharmed. Captain Smith immediately signaled for Ports- mouth to send him tugs, then drove at full speed for the mud banks off Odore bay. Meantime he ordered the collision gates and doors closed, thus stopping the inrush of water. The craft immediately righted itself and the commander decided he could reach Southampton under the Olympic's own power. The Hawke had been undergoing steam trials following extensive repairs at Portsmouth and was traveling at great speed when she overtook the Olympic. The cruiser was passing the liner to starboard when suddenly the former drew in and crashed into the steamer's quarter about twenty feet from the stern. It is thought the warship was drawn against the other vessel by the suction. After the impact the Hawke drew astern and her crew threw the collision mats over a badly damaged bow. There was great excitement, but no panic, on board the liner, the passengers of which were reassured by the officers. The weather was somewhat thick and there was a squall at the time of the accident, but the haze was not sufficient to obscure either vessel from the other. The Olympic sailed from Southampton, bound for New York by way of Cherbourg and Queenstown. The first cabin passengers numbered 724. Among them were between twenty and thirty American millionaires. All told there were nearly 3,000 people on board. JUDGE GROSSCUP TO QUIT Appellate Jurist Will Resign From Bench in October—Plans Active Public Life.

In a statement dictated for the press he gave the following explanation of his decision to retire: "I wish more freedom, not only as an individual, but as a citizen. The world politically is trying to catch up with the world's radically changed economic conditions. The 'formative' period is approaching. Next year's presidential election will, I believe, be the last one on the old lines. And the settlement for the future will come not through the courts of law, but through the courts of public opinion. "I wish no office—expect never again to hold office—but I wish greater freedom than the bench gives to do my part in this court of public opinion. "I expect, of course, to re-enter the practice of law—an idle life would be an unhappy one—but to practice law in a not too strenuous way."

The first year he cut 186 Dales, the second year 440 bales, the third year 840 bales, fourth, 985 bales, fifth 1,020 bales, sixth 1,298 bales, the seventh year, 1,705 bales.

We belleve .we will gin between. 6,000 and 6,000 this year. ‘The capacity of those three gins Is 150 bales per day. We buy the cotton fn the raw material from the fle, gin, pack, throw it in the yard, class, and ‘sell It to the highest bidder and take the money. ‘Wo have a handsome little bank at Boley, and {t furnished mo last year $68,992.12 to take up the crop.

Tt may be mentioned in passing that Mr. Scott Bond owns 3000 ncres of farm land, from which he derives an Income of several thousand dollars an- nually. ‘Mr. Charles Ford of Taft, another colored town in Oklahoma, showed the work he had accomplished in the cotton market, and handled all ques tlona with sktil and intelligence. He ald that some years ago, balling from Loulsiana, he went into Okla- homa and. broke tnto the cotton mar- Ket, without experience and money, and made good. He was told that he could not buy or welgh cotton, Dut one of the very men who made that statement afterwards offered to ire bim at a salary of 350.00, which he accepted as he was getting $29.00 at the time. He was given a raise to $75.00, His employer told him,“ ‘thought you could handle the colored men, but you handle the white men as well.” He went to Galveston, to Mr. Moody, expert classer, and asked to see the different types of cotton from nondescript to strict good middling, ‘and called the grade and staple of each, Mr. Moody told him he could class as good as he could. He wasn't satisfied, however, until he went to Loulsiqna and classed the grades of that season's crop. ‘The speaker sald he handled more cotton than any col- ored man in Oklahoma, and was the first colored man to buy a bale of cot- ton and ship tt.

Nay, nota form only, but ‘a aystem of life, feeding upon the prin- ciples given us by Jesus Christ. “For there Is éne God and ono mediator between Ged and men, the man Christ Jesus." With this definitiion in view, what hhas the negro a right to expect of Christianity, first, as a man? There is a spark of individuality in every hu- man being that if properly fanned blazes Into the fire that brings out the realization that he Is a man. ‘A great awakening 's on Ike unto the awakening of 1835 when were seen the effects of the preaching of the gos- pel upon the people of the colontes.

Liberin was a compromise and was intended to solve, without the shedding of blood, ‘one of the great problems of modern times. “However, In the conflict of Ideas and the clash of arms, God partially overruled the designs of his creatures, and consequently the plan of Amer can colonization of Liberia simmered down and the country suffered. So desperate had the condition of Libe ria become that the American govern ment, reviewing the history of its founding and being reminded of the sentiment, hopes and designs of the founders, felt compelled to stretch a helping hand across the Atlantic ‘which will prove to be the salvation of this unique republic.” Dr. Lyon has recelved cable instruc: tions, confirmed later by due course of mall, appointing him agent of the Donovan trust fund. The Donovan trust fund comprises bloock of valu able business property in Baltimore belonging formerly to the Donovan es tate. Mr, Donovan wast slave holder and became rich under the system. Many years after bis death his widow, desiring to do something for the ne Broes as a partial atonement for whatever the negro suffered under slavery, was advised by the late Gen. Ferdinand C.

DECIDED THE VOTE Conservative. Forcte. Win With Mar Jory of Fifty Membere Largely From the Kantern Provinees Or tke ness Montreal, Que, Sept, 22.—The Laurier government and reclprocity suffered an overwhelming defeat in the Canadian ejections yesterday. By a political landslide the-liberat majority of 43 was swopt away, and the conservative party secured one of the heaviest majorities, upward of 50, that any Canadian party bas ever had. Seven cabinet ministers who had served with Premier Laur- fer were among the defeated candl- dates. ‘The Uberals lost ground in practi: cally every province of the domin- fon, Where they won, their major- ities were small, Where the con- servatives won, thelr majorities were tremendous, Ontario, the , leading province of Canada, declared almont unanimously against the administra. tion and reclprocity. Robert I, Borden, leader of tho conservative party, will shortly be- come prime minister ot Canada. He will be supported in parliament by ‘a working’ majority of members far ‘more than ample for his purpose. ‘The government defeat means that the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree- ‘ment ratified by the American con- gress in extra session will not be in- troduced when the ‘Twelfta parlla- ment astembles next month, and that a revised basls of trade with the United States, looking to closer commercial relations will not be pos- sible in the immediate future. The conservatives are committed to a Policy of trado expansion withi~ the empire and a closed door against tho United States. Although reelected in two constl- tuencies in Quebec, the defeat of the Uberal party also means the retire- ment from public life of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who for nearly. two decades has directed the destinies of the do- ‘minion. Several’ times during the bitter campaign which preceded yesterday's election the venerable premier said that defeat of his party at the polls meant the end of his ca- reer; that he never vould consent to lead a minority in opposition to a ‘conservative government.

Other distinguished gentlemen visiting the city with a view of locating were introduced, and made some very appropriate remarks which seem to convince those who heard that they were the kind of citizens desired in their community. The pastor, Rev. Tolliver, who had been called to the pastorate, following Rev. J. A. Bingman, who had resigned to accept a charge in Sherman, Texas, preached an able sermon, pointing out many failures of the people in that section, both spiritually and materially. In a logical way he pointed out many defects of that new country and present conditions. In strong terms, he declared the necessity of the Negro becoming unit in the advancement of the race along all lines; financially, morally, spiritually and materially. He showed from his discourse that the conditions of things are due from the lack of leadership in the past and he pleaded for a purer leadership in every branch of industry. On Monday I returned to Boley to look into the land business. I am told that this city has a population of three thousand inhabitants, not a white person in the city; nor does one own one foot of land will in the city limits. Boley is now putting in her waterworks and saving her streets, seeming- ly to have embiled the spirit of progressiveness which is the watchword of this age. Every one can look things are in a hustle. As I see it, if Boley makes good it will demonstrate the fact that the Negro is capable of self-government, and it will be a strong evidence of how the long talked of Negro problem can be solved. Everything in Boley is conducted by Negros, from mayor to dog catcher. The depot agent and telegraph operator, hotel managers, livery stables, banks, real estate agents, lawyers, doctors, restaurant keepers, dry good stores, hardware merchants and everything is under the direction of the Negro; even the telephone operators and stenographers are all Negro girls and women. No sane person can visit Boley without being favorably impressed with the present condition and hopeful of the future outlook. I saw only one or two unfavorable things in Boley, but they were of minor notice, as there were so many good things to consider. After viewing the many things of industry of that little enterprises city of which I had heard, I exclaimed in my mind, the saying of that great woman when she had visited that great temple of Solomon. "The half had not been told me." CLEARVIEW. OKLAHOMA- LEWICKAY, OAKLAND I next visited Clearview, another Neighbor town, though much smaller than Boley, yet, however, it seemed to have the same spirit of progress. The surroundings are of such as to warrant a splendid locality. All that place needs is men of means to establish business enterprises. I met Mr. J. E. Thompson, the wealthiest colored man in that section, own nine hundred acres of fine farming land, having seven hundred acres in cultivation. He owns and operates the only newspaper in that section. He seems not too busy to take one around and show him the country especially if he is looking for a location. Either Boley or Clearview is a desirable place to locate. In my judgment Clearview hangs out the better inducement to those of small means, both being in Oofkee county. I say this because all have not means to purchase in Boley, where property is high. RACE DIFFERENCE. I found the race question very strong out in that section as is in all sections of this great commonwealth, yet this should not be a hindrance, for a matter of fact this difference is here, and it takes time to eradicate its Out West. especially in Ofuskea county there seems to be a desperate struggle for supremacy in possession of that county between the two races. The whites have been endeavoring to keep colored from purchasing, or leasing or renting lands in certain districts, and have organized to that effect, but by some hook or crook the secret creeped out, and it put new life in the Negroes and the watchword now is, buy land and men are in every direction trying to lease or rent. The truth of the matter is, of Oufskee county is republican politically, but when the "Grandfather Clause" went into effect, it debarred the Negro from voting and the county as well as the state went democratic. Since then, the Supreme Court declared the "Grandfather Clause" unconstitutional hence the return of the Negro to his rights of franchise as an American citizen. The democrat uses means to discourage the black man that democracy may hold the reign of control, and to my mind this one object, is to discourage Negro emigration into that county that that county and state may remain in the ranks of democracy, but in my judgment, too late, especially Ofuske county. POLITICS. I don't care to drift into politics, but I wish to say a word respecting the political situation as I see it, especially to my many friends in the grand old state of Iowa, who have had in mind to vote for the reign of democracy, socialism or any other new issues. If you were in possession of facts as they exist in that section and other sections of the South relative to the political situation of the Negro, you would discard the idea of voting with or for any party whose aim or object is to disrecognize the Negro as an American citizen endeavoring to blacken his record by resorting to that hellish and damnable unwritten law of mob violence, lynching and burning of human beings at the stake. May God forbid that any Negro within the bounds of this great commutish vote with such a party. Respectfully, C. W. RODGERS 214 Third Street S. South Electric Lights. Meals served at all Hours.

Stovall closes up a successful years work with two instructive sermons. The Rev. had a crowded house Sunday night to hear his last semon this conference year. Subject Acceptable work in the sight of the Lord. The Rev. explained to the audience how to do effective work, and lay a lasting foundation for good in this period of the world's history. A strong appeal was made to men that they might take their places and make themselves felt in this period of the world's history. At the conclusion of his sermon he read his annual report which was listened to with interest and appreciation. The report showed that a great work had been done. Something over $2000.00 has been gathered from all apartments of the church this conference year. A gain of $290.00 over last year. This year has been a real booster with the A. M. E. people. Quite a delegation of Davenporters will attend the Iowa annual conference. Mrs. Belle Davis of St Paul, Minn., has been visiting her sisters. Mrs. Wm. O'Neal and Mrs. C. B. Lewis returned home by the way of Des Moines Tuesday Madams Ketcham and White of Evanston, Ill., are the guest of Mr. and Mrs. O. Neal on W. 9th street. Mrs. A. D. Sumlin is visiting in Evanston. Mrs. John Harris is attending the Baptist association in Ottumwa. Wrs. Wm. O'Neal who has been quite sick for the past week is much better. Mrs. W. G. Mott is quite sick. Mr. Fred Mott passed through Davenport last night on his way to Chicago to look after the estate of his brother, the late Robt. Mott. Mr. Howard Mott had quite a visit with his father at the train. Mr. Bradshaw of Ottumwa is quite a prominent character in Davenport just now. He is here to start a K. P. lodge. This is a good thing and all good people ought to have it. Mrs. Wallace Ballard entertained in honor of her mother, Mrs. Brown of Canton, Mo., last Wednesday afternoon. BUXTON BRIEFS. (Last Week.) While driving to work last Saturday morning, Mr. Joe Sorrell, while crossing the track near 15 mine was struck by a train and so badly bruised and mangled one of his legs that it was found necessary to amputate it below the knee. The operation was performed by the company's physicians and he was taken to the hospital in Des Moines for treatment and care. He was quite poorly at the last report. Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Strother left for Des Moines Monday to visit her brother Mr. Joe Sorrell, who is in the hospital there. Mrs. Jas. Stips of Des Moines is visiting her husband here this week. Mrs. Sadie Drew of Des Moines is visiting Mrs. Wiley Parker this week. Missella Burke, niece of Mr. J. H. Bates, who has been visiting in their home for a month left Saturday for Stanton, Va. The Perkins hotel was totally destroyed by fire last Sunday morning at a very early hour. The cause of the fire is unknown as it started in the basement near the front door where there's never any fire used. The indications are that it is the work of some mean person. There were three splendid services held in St. John's church last Sunday, Presiding Elder Gordon had charge of each of them. Preparation was being made for the annual conference which is to be held in Des Moines this week. Each of the auxiliaries of the church gave $10 toward conference claims except the Christian Endeavor gave $15.00. Rev. and Mrs. Butler issued one thousand invitations to the public and on Monday evening a very splendid program was rendered and many enjoyed themselves at the banquet The First and Second Baptist church choirs rendered two selections each and there were special numbers by Mr. Carl Pugh, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Brown and Mr. F. B. Bullock. Rev. Butler and wife left Tuesday morning for conference. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Brown of Des Moines were in the city for a day and a night this week, the guest of Mrs. W. R. Woods. Mr. W. P. Lewis, who has been on the sick list for about a month is very much improved. Mr. F. B. Bullock who has been passing his vacation in Buxton returned to school at Minneapolis Wednesday, W. A. Brown, Jr., who has been spending his summer in Buxton left for St. Joseph Friday to visit with relatives and friends before returning to western college where he will attend school. Mrs. Dan Carter is much improved this week. To Whom it May Concern: I Wm. P. Sears and family ask leave to tender our greatest thanks to the Monroe Mercantile Co, and its clerkes, for their open heartedness and kindness and means to tide through my recent illness, also the Mount Zion Baptist church and its members for their watchfulness over me through many nights of restlessness and suffering. I regret that we cannot find words with which to express our gratitude toward them. Much thanks to all friends in general who asked and wished for my recovery May the blessings of the Almighty be upon all.

To Columbia university belongs the credit of offering the first course designated to give students a political knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the study of the afairs from city, and the invitation has been accepted. The growing demand for the adoption of the scientific methods of city governments lends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a university course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Columbia. Haitiana a Lazy Lot. Sydney Brooks, writing to the London Chronicle about Haiti, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly, says of Haiti: "In that little republic, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days' sail of New York, one may encounter more strange complications and a greater disregard for human life than in the remote countries of the east. She is the heart of West Indies, where civil rights in a high degree, Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cultivation but the lazies allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and forests have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary be transferred to the farm and not be transferred to the courtroom and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and practically no idleness. If the young men who had slipped into the scientific farm he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city." Milk an Intoxicant. New York City alone consumes an annually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 quarts a day. And kids does not include mothers' milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults. "Milk," says Emerson. "it readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered." Being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was agitated by the motion of the hunter's coat. The skin was soon well under the skin. The skin was undoubtedly none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in it, which would set as a haunt. Lame back is one of the most common forms of muscular rheumatism.

Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field of forces with which the Eyes, Ears, suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, or, instance, being accompanied by 400 dogs in the Scottish island and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. No More Gold Lace For Arganan. The ameter has published which applies to Afghanistan, presenting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameter is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold lace coat of the Afghan is decidedly adorned and all the embroidered shoes are wickedly in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubt less be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal of Charity Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are required. The most important of the most unobservant person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the play weight must have his. A Friend to Negroes Lew Arntz, the well known Doctor of Optics, believes in treating the colored people the same as whites. This is evidenced by the fact, he offers to sell or rent to black or white alike, his residence at 3215 Fourth St., Highland Park, which containsacity water, sewer, gas, barn, etc., for $1250, on monthly payments of $10. tf FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1911 Official paper of the M.
