Woods & Schneider put on over 700 horseshoes last week. A
pretty good week's work.
Jerry Shelley, a No. 1 horseshoer of this city, put on 58
horseshoes in nine hours one day last week.
The new bell of the school house has arrived and been placed in
position. It is mellow and musical in tone, and does good
service.
Not an empty store building in Sheldon, and a tenant house can't
be had for love or money.
