Live Wires at Gawly. T
The m-oida of Gandy are not so alow
rtor nil: in fact they scorn tohuve
somn live wires that aro wastincr the!
onenricu in so small a town. Owing
to tho formation of tho country tho now
Union Pacific lino could not bu built
nto Gandy, tho nearest approach being
a miio and a hnlf. A townslte company,
formed apparently with the sanction of
tho railroad company, laid out a town
about throe miloa from Gandy, which
n tho course of ovents probably meant
tho death of Gaudy, ns everybody saw
the advantage of moving to the railroad
town. It was then that tho julco began
to oozo thoough tho Uvo wires, and as
a result they extended the limits of tho
town so as to cover that pieco of the
roadbed -which is a mile and a half
away. Now thoy aro calmly sitting in
casv chairs, smoking- tnetr pines ana
nointlnir to tho law which says a rail?
road must put a station at each count
seat Tho railroad couldn't go f
Gandy, but Gandy had no trouble in ex-
tending itself to tho railroad.

DOORS
Can all be made to look nice on
paper, but the real test of a good
door comes after it is hung. We
don't sell doors by cataloihio alone
but by sample, and also we havo
taken particular pains to know that
the doors we handle are made from
properly dried stopk so as to elimin
ate those faults so common in doors
warping, swelling "shrinking. Our
line covers a good variety of styles
as well as prices, but every ono of
our doors represents the best value
for the money.
u)me in nnu let us snow you
these doors and help you decide on
the proper door for your purpose.
