 The installation was attended \vit.:i con- 

 siderable Avork, as it was necessary to 

 raise the boilers. 



H. Van Golder, of Percy Jones, Inc., 

 is sanfjuine about the last month 's 

 business. August 18, he says, was one 

 of the best days he has ever had, lioli- 

 davs excepted. 



Mrs. E. K. Horton, of Bassett & 

 Washburn, is l)ack from a three weeks' 

 vacation. It was not the rest she had 

 planned, however, as she was taken ill 

 on the first day and was confined to her 

 bed for nearly two weeks. Siie has now

 agent, is handling several carloads a

 think that the ])opularity of Russell will 

 wane as rapidly as it grew\ Among 

 those who look for the variety to be
