Mr. SCHINDLER is erecting a new building on his lot just east of where the old River-
side Hotel stood before the fire, which occured about two years ago.

The M.W.A. are making preparations to entertain their members with a supper after the
installation of officers Tuesday night, January 18.  Every member is urged to attend.

at Webb City, that she has been very sick, but the message says she is improving at
this time.

Sam G. YOUNT has turned his interest in the new Arcade Cafe over to his partner, 
W. A. DALTON and Mr. DALTON is in full charge.  Mr. YOUNT has accepted a good position
with the Doe Run Lead Co.

Sam G. YOUNT of the Arcade Cafe, held the lucky number in the Auto doings held by the

If rumor has it correct, Elvins will soon enjoy a building boom.  There are to be
several new business and dwelling houses erected at an early date.  Also that a moving
picture show will be opened in the Dixon saloon building.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles FORTNER have been very unfortunate during the past four weeks.  
Three of their children have had very bad attacks of pneumonia and now Mrs. FORTNER
has a severe attack of lagrippe threatening pneumonia.

Walter and George BAKER were called to Caledonia last Saturday on account of the 
serious illness of their father, who is 82 years old.  We were unable to learn the
cause of the illness and as neither of the brothers have returned we do not know
how the suffering father is.

The A.O.U.W. will meet in regular session next Saturday night and receive in its
membership some eight or ten new members.  The lodge of this place visited the Bonne
Terre lodge last Monday night and partook of a supper given in honor of the visiting
members.  A good time was reported by all who attended.

W. A. MOUNT returned from Bismarck Tuesday where he had been to attend a big time at

supper Monday night.  Mr. MOUNT was accompanied home by his two daughters, who had 
been visiting the past week with their brother, M. J. MOUNT of near Bismarck.

Mr. George WEBER of Potosi is the guest of his sister, Mrs. Jos. DIEMER this week.  
This is Mr. WEBER's first visit to Elvins in 15 years and he was greatly surprised
at the many changes that have taken place.  At the time of his last visit the only
brick building in Elvins was the Silsby brick and the town could not boast of a 
single concrete walk.  The town has also doubled in population.
