about 24 years. She was sick
but a short time. The funeral
took place at the Menonite
church on Monday of this

been married but about a year

TRUCKS
There’s a mighty big difference in heavy
duty trucks and you'll know it the moment
you hit the highway in one of Chevrolet’s
new heavyweight haulers. For there’s a
rock-solid quality, an ease of handling
and pull-away power in these Advance
Design trucks. But discover the facts your
self. Compare values! Then—compare
prices! You'll find that only Chevrolet
heavy-duty trucks have 3-WAY THRIFT
—low cost of operation, low cost of
upkeep and the lowest list prices in the
entire truck field!

On Tuesday evening, the
city council held a special
meeting, deciding to lake six
arc lights for the city at a
cost of $8 per month each.
They were well satisfied
with the outlook and left for
Omaha Wednesday morning
where Mr. Minniek will make
the necessary arrangements
for the purchase of the plant
and expects to return to this
city about Christmas and as
soon as possible thereafter will
start the plant. He expects to
have it in running order by
January 15. So once more the
love sick youth and the loving
maid will have to seek the
shady streets to bill and coo
and murmur loving pleasant
ries to each other.
But even with that disad
vantage it is a good thing to
have the lights.

The Golden building o n
Douglas street is about com
plete and is a fine specimen
of what can be done with ce
ment blocks. Though not the
largest, it is the most complete
and modern store building in
town, well constructed and
handsomely furnished. The ce
ment work was all done under
the supervision of Daniel Burr,
who is associated with Mr.
Golden in the manufacture of
cement blocks and the fine
building they have erected
ought to prove a strong ad
vertisement for their cement
blocks. The building is divid
ed into two apartments, with
basement finished in cement
below. The west room will be
occupied by R. R- Morrison’s
grocery and the east room by
M. M. Sullivan’s dry goods
store.
When district court con
venes on December 14, it
will have a little more plea
sant surroundings than here
tofore. The embossed tin
ceiling of the court room
has been painted and the
walls newly papered. There
are no big law suits on for
this term of court, the dock
et being one of the lightest
foe many years. Some eight
or ten minor criminal cases
appear on the docket.
The latest talk of a new ho
tel has it that the Jake Pfund
building, across the street
from the opera house, will be
enlarged and worked over to
hotel proportions. So far
nothing definite can be stated
as to the proposed enterprise
other than that such a propsi
tion is being considered by
some of the business men.
