A change in the schedule of the
trains on the W. A- X. B. railroad j
went into effect Monday, and great- i
ly improves the mail service at this j
place. The north bound train now |
arrives first at the Laporte station
and passes the south bound train at
Ringdale instead of Nordmont as
heretofore, thus making it possible
for the people of Nordmont to get 1
their mail that comes from Laporte t
the same forenoon of its departure
instead of the following day.
Mr. A. P. Weiland, who has been
most prominently identified with
nearly every business interest at
Nordmont, for the past seven years,

with the new firm composed of Hon.
J. I). Iteesea, Hay Kesslar, H. Kess
lar and A.P. Weiland, who will con
duct a large department store. The
building is not yet completed but
the firm hope to open the store ready
for business, some time in Februa
ry. It will be the largest and most
complete store in Sayre, and will be
under the direct management of Mr-
Weiland, who is a hustling and en
ergetic business man. Mr. and Mrs.
Weiland will be sadly missed at
Nordmont where they were active
in church work and also in every
thing that pertained to the advance
ment of the place. Mr. Milton Hots
ford has taken charge of the Wei
land and Kesslar store at Nordmont.

rection of what was once known as

a large four pronged buck, a specie
ofthe Virginia deer, which was kill
ed by Kashinka. Wednesday of last
week was the last day of the deer
season, which lasts only during the
month of November. Special at
tention has been given to Ihe pro
tection of deer in the state during
the past few years, and these fine
game animals have already increas
ed in numbers.

Seouten asks us to select a County
('liiiirint.il for him. It would appear
from (his that lie "safe and
sane." Now we know of several
person* whom we believe have the
right (nullifications for this position,
l>ut as we look over the di llerrnt
names we eannot hut think that
Urother Streehy is the proper man.
He is well qualified, has been prom
inent in Sullivan county politics for
a number of years, knows all the
people, well up in the family history
of the county, publishes a staunch
Democratic newspaper, is shrewd,
cute and cunning, an all around
fellow. Yes, Seouten, the grapes
are too sour for you; better help
George get them.
