no serious obstacles will arise
lowara the improvement, the
need of which is so greatly felt
by our local militia company, or
any other company that maybe
organized. The erection of this
building will do much toward
making this an unusually active
season in building circles, and
giveplentj of work for all; be
sides bringing in ' considerable
skilled laborers to reside with us.
It will also assist in giving our
new brick factory a good start.
The building of four new bricks
this season is going to make
things hum without any question,
besides improving our town as it
has never before been improved
in one season. Itemizer.

To Build Armory At Dallas
Captain W L Tooze is in re
ceipt of a letter from General W.
E. Finzer assuring him of $7,
