It lies it the midst of a ; fertile country , surrounded on aU sides by well kept farms owned by a class of the hest people on earth. \Vhcn.thcse farmcrs have reaped their harvest or fatted their steers they haul thc product of their labor to Stella and top the mar- ket. Thcn they : : , .in v , ( .l. . , Jail' share of thc proceeds in all of the necessaries , and many of the lux- uries of life so temptingly ] dis- played in the stores of Stella's hustlirng and progressive mcr- chants. 'l'his all goes toward making Stella a good ( town. \Ve have never seen a town of this size that presented so ) leasing an appearan ' .Clue houses arc all neatly painted ; thc lawns are well kept ; thc streets arc wide and bordered with trees and there arc some business and public huild- ings that would be pointed to with pride by the people of sonic much larger towns that we know of. There arc in Stella ( at least three stocks of general merchan- c1ise that would invoice from $7,000 to 810,000 which wc subunit - unit is a pretty good showing. All other lines of business arc equally well rcprcscn tCl1. A few years ago Stella cxperic\1c \ d a very disastrous fire , but new brick buildings have taken thc place of thc old frame structures and you would hardly rcalire that there had ever been a fire there. 'rhc people are very hospitable and always really . to . extend , " , the glad hand to the deserving stranger who chanccs'ro stray within their g'ates. There is one suggestion that we would like : to make , how- ever and that is that more of thc merchants ' display signs in front of their places of busincss. 'rhc other day wc had occasion to interview - tcrvicw a certain merchant and were compelled to' make inquiry in ; six stores Before \vc could lo- cate him. And besides whcn a stranger sees a nice store , with attractive display , windows hc likes to know whose store it is A Favorite Remedy for Babies. Its pleasant taste and prompt cures have madc Chambcrlain's Cough Remedy a favorite with thc mothers of small childrcn. It quickly cures their coughs and colds and prevents any danger of pneumonia or other serious con- seq ucnccs. For sale by A. G. 'Vanner. ( ) -4 . , - - - - - - - Chance of Long Lite.
