Mr. Sm ith, president of the Fay Cit\

looking after the company’s interests in
this place.
The water question will soon he
placed before the people with al!

vantages of each. It only remaiiv-
for us to reassert that some plan
should be chosen and then work
begun on it and pushed to comple

In keeping our drug store open is to put up
prescriptions, and that keeps us fairly busy—
with more business in sight. Our shop is ofte i
full, but we will make room for you long etiougL
to take your order and will fill it from fresh m a

Incidentally (and why not), we supply man-.-
people in this vicinity with toilet articles, per
