Wilsonville Review. Good warm wool-mixed seamless sox for 130. The Thompson Dry Goods Co. Better Than Before. The substantial , well-appointed ele vator now being built by H.H.Easterday & Co. to replace the one destroyed by fire , last summer , shows that the com pany has both confidence and enterprise. They are building a better and larger elevator , which will be equipped with machinery in a thoroughly up-to-date manner. The new elevator will be 34x26 feet on ground aud 46. feet high ; will be weather boarded and in every respect finished ii ubstantiul style. The capacity will be considerabl- larger than the old elevator , or aboti 13,000 bushels. An immense pit ha been excavated under the building fo wheat ; it is 66 feet from the bottom o the pit to the top of the elevator. A hopper scale will be installed here and the cleaner will be much larger than was the old one. It is the purpose of the company to make this a general clean ing station , and grain will be shipped here from other smaller elevators owned and managed by the company to be cleaned for shipment. The company is also providing special and increased facilities for transacting a retail business. The foundation of the building is in seeping with the superstructure ; four car-loads of Colorado sandstone were used. The new elevator will be a creditable successor of the old one , which it will in all respects excel. S. W. Nebraska Baptist Association. The South-West Nebraska Baptist association met with the First Baptist church of McCook , September 21-23. The association includes eight churches ; > ut only part of them were represented , his year. Sermons and addresses were delivered , during the meeting , by Miss VanNess of 1/lncoln , general missionary of the W. B. : I. M. society of Nebraska ; Rev. E. A. lussell , state Sunday-school missionary ; iev. S. C. Green , district missionary of he Baptist state convention ; Rev. T. E. Cimball , pastor of the Baptist church at Farnam , and Rev. George Scott of Mc Cook. The next meeting will be held in June , 1901 , with the Ash Grove Baptist church near Wellfleet. These meetings , though the attend ance was small , were interesting and profitable from start to finish , and those who had the privilege of attending them were amply compensated for the time and effort it cost them. The change of time from September to June will , it is believed , remove a hin drance which has hitherto made it im possible for the representatives of the missionary and other organizations of the denomination to be present , and we shall look forward for fuller and more profitable gatherings in the future. T. E. K. . Clerk. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. John LeHew of the Twelfth grade had his nose fractured , Monday evening , while playing ball. He was catching , when a foul ball tipped off of the strik er's bat and struck him on the side of the nose , fracturing the bone of the nose , bruising the side of his face and blacking his eye. The following table exhibits the fact that the daily average attendance on the public schools of the state is far be low what it ought to be.
