HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE IS FAVORABLE -
VORABLE TO NORFOLK.
LOCATION OVERCOMES RATE ;
Member of Firm Decides That His
House Will Probably Establish
Branch Here Secretary Mathewson
Resigns From Commercial Club.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]
A wholesale grocery house will
probably be established in Norfolk
within the very near future. This was
the statemtnt of a representative of a
wholesale grocery house who vlslted-
Norfolk a few days ago for the pur
pose of insectlng the field and who
left town determined that it would be
to the advantage of his house to estab
lish a branch in this city. He will bo
back here the latter part of this week.
The repcresentatlve , whose name and
whose house have not been given out ,
made an Inspection of Norfolk in com
pany with D. Mathewson , secretary
of the Commercial club and It is the
belief of Mr. Mathowson that the
wholesale establishment will be
placed here.
The representative , while here , In
vestigated the freight rates under
which his house would have to oper
ate and he declared that , while the
rates arc not all that his house might
desire , yet the location of the town
more than offsets what disadvantages
there wore in this direction , and ho
believed that his flim would come.
Secretary Mathewjon Resigns.
Mr. Mathowson , who has acted
secretary of the Commercial club for
some time , handed his resignation to
the directors of the club some time
ago , because of outside work which
will keep him from Norfolk much of
the time , and his resignation is now
effective.
At the meeting of the club , there
fore , this evening the members
must come prepared to elect a now
secretary to take up the work. Mr.
Mathowson , who leaves for South Da
kota on business , will be unable to bo
present at this meeting.
Suggests a Public Park.
Ono Idea which Mr. Mathewson be
lieves ought to bo worked out by the
club Is the development of a public
park. Ho says that the M. & O. rail
road company 1ms five acres of land
north of their tracks and abutting on
the Nor'thfork river , which ho believes
the city might take stops to get for
park purposes.
The mooting this evening will beheld
hold at the city hall and a largo at
tendance Is desired by the directors.
LIGHTNING AT MILLER BARN.
Silo Was Struck , and It is Miracle
That the Fine Barn Did Not Bum.
The large silo at the rear of the
Rome Miller barn at the Junction was
struck by lightning nt about 4 o'clock
this morning. The cornice was torn
off and part of the roof shattered. The
bolt then entered the barn nnd tore a
largo hole on the roof and one side.
Luckily the hay In the barn did not
catch fire , and It Is a miracle that it
did not. but It Is supposed that the
rain stopped any spark that may have
entered the barn.
