Five I carloads came from the Nyssa way, two from Vale and one from Bro gan. A great throng came from the country on both sides of the river. The parade was a splendid sue. cess, and many of the floats would do credit to a much larger city, the three brass bauds made most enlivening music. a big supply of meat was barbecued and distribu ted among the visitors, and the program was carried out to the satisfaction of the great gathering. The city park provided a pleas ant and beautiful place for the visitors to congregate and eat their picnic luncheons. The base ball games were attend ed by a large and enthusiastic bunch of fans, and there was am ple entertainment in every line to keep the big crowd busy and good humored. Only one circumstance marred the perfection of the great cele bration. The management |>er- mitted the bas«« ball park to double the price of admission over the advertised price, and then add an extra two bits for the grand stand.

Thirty-seven carloads of bridge timbers, ties, posts, stays and gal vanized iron fluuie piping have been shunted into the Nvssa yards within the past week for construct- ion on the Nyssa-Buhl extension, and the side track capacity is pretty well congested. Only about a dozen men have been engaged upon the task of un loading the cars as yet. but the 8>hort Line expects to have a crew of fifty men on the job within the next two weeks. Unloading and hauling away the fluming is a light task, but it is different with the big bridge tim bers. taking the entire crew at work at present all day to unload one car.

Mr. Tebbetts tigureson building his foundation for a three story structure, so that additional stor age room may be added as the de mand for the storage of the fruit crops increase. Mr. Tebbetts has visited Pay ette, Ontario, and Parma, but be- lieves the prospects for the rapid and permanent growth of Nyssa are better than at any other point along the line, and that a cold storage plant here will bring bet ter and more steadily increasing returns than at any other pluce he has investigated. He will expect those interested in the establishment of such an enterprise here to subscribe one- half the stock. The establishment of a cold storage plant will iesult in practically doubling the value of all perishable products, and will keep all the money in circu lation here, so we can see no reas on why the people who will bene fit most financially will not be willing to invest in such an enter prise, if upon investigation they find it to be the paying invest ment it appears upon the face of it. Farmers and others interested are requested to look into this matter immediately, call at the Journal office, get further particu lars, and discuss the probability of securing the location of this plant at this place A Dry Goods Store Wanted te payr<>UiThe|r Education. .. has hieon issued by A Bad Aato Accident.
