It will be remembered that Mr Coble
latelv withdrew from the Xebraka
Lumber Company and ac societal him
self with the Traders' Lumber Com
pany, of Nebraska, and was chosen as
secret iry, treasurer and general man
ager of the new organization. For the
past few wer-ks he has been engaced in
establishing new yard for hi corpor
ation, in Wct?rn Xcbraska, and final
ly decided to place one in Red Cloud,
which he settled upon l.vt
Monday, and consequently purchased
the crounds west of Ferguson's drug
store for that purpose, which is cer
tainly a fine location for the buiness.
Mr. Coble has the natural "get up"' and
enterprise that always wins in what
ever position in life that he ise fit to
occupy, and being a thorough going
business man will make the new lum
ber yard a success, byj so doing he
will add another enterprise to those
already established in the c:;v. The
Chief takes pnde in seeing Red Cloud
business men prosper, znd in this par

His remains were followed to the tomb
by a large number of so rowing friend

buried with Masonic honors. Thisjs

is for. If a man can borrow
money out-of the association and build
a house with it, and stop paying rent,

It is the only institution in Rod Cloud
that loans money and allows the bor

in small amounts if $5, ?10, or $15 uer
