V. E. Perry's New Farm.
V. K. Perry, from west of My-
nard, Cass county's most success
ful raiser of the popular Duroc-
Jersey swine, was in the city
Wednesday looking after some
business matters. In conversa
tion with him in regard to his
new farm, the one he recently
purchased from 0. II. Allen, near
Wabash, he tells us that he in
tends to move to the new place in
about one year. There is no doubt
but that Mr. J'erry has an ideal
place for his future home, and
that was what he was looking for
when he paid $200 an acre for it.
It is one of the finest improved
places in the county for the rais
ing of stock, and that is where
the beauty lies in farming for Mr.
Perry. His famous herd of Duroe-
Jersey swine will find one of the
finest yards and shelter houses
in the slate, well built and with
concrete flooring. This farm con
tains the largest silo plant in the
county. He also informs us that
Mr. Allen will move to South
Omaha, where he will engage in
the stock business.

Messrs. Manners and Cecil Con
template Building Automobile
Garage on Vine and Sxith.
One of the big improvements in
the building lino in this city is
the. new automobile garage that
is being projected -by Messrs.
Harve .Manners and Hush Cecil.
These gentlemen are figuring on
erecting on the southeast corner
of vine and Sixth streets a mod
ern, lire-proof garage, 72x80
feet in size, that will be fitted up
in the most modern manner for
tho taking care of all machines
that are turned over to them.
There will be an entrance made
on both the Vine and Sixth street
side of the building that will give
them plenty of room to handle a
large number of machines at one
time.
This will supply a long-felt
want here, as during the summer
months there will be a great deal ,
of travel through this city over
the Scenic automobile route from
Omaha to Kansas City, and many
of them are compelled to slop
here for repairs ami supplies for
their cars, and as the new garage
will be located on the road it will
afford the owners of machines a
splendid place to net I heir work
done.
Messrs. Manuel'!, and Cecil are.
both expert workmen and have al
ways given great satisfaction in
the work they have done in this
line, and no one need fear that
they will fall down on any job
that is entrusted to I hem. Tim
number of automobiles in Uih
city will be much larger than last
year and there is no reason why
Ihe new garage cannot be made
a big success, as the work will be
greatly increased
