i'n j- parents that OUR SCHOOL SHOES wear about twice as long as other shoes sold at the same price. The reason is that we personally select the material used in the manufacture of our shoes. Our profits, it's true, are small on a single pair, but by shoeing half ot the School Children, it in the end. It is as natural for some children to come here for shoes as it is for them to go to school. But we are after new friends.

You can't find better School Shoes than ours if you try. We will be glad to have you look them over. Bannister Sorosis Hurley all speak loudly of shoe excellence, and all moderately priced. The children will need shoes; school you know is very hard on children's footwear. Our Shoes for boys and girls at $1.25, $2.00 are the kind the child Is proud of.

The Cornwall railroad company sustained a heavy loss recently at West Lebanon, when six passenger coaches, seven freight cars, the blacksmith shop, carptenter shop, stables, car barn and other buildings were destroyed by fire.

Hughes Son the contract for the erection of a new passenger station at Newport, on the middle division. The building is to be of buff brick, one story high and 25x65 feet in dimensions.

Four years ago there were but few residences at what was known as Blair Furnace, These had for the most part. tnere ior many years.

Of course farms there had been laid out in building lots and some of these were sold, but building was slow. The railroad company, cramped for room in the city, found it necessary to look elsewhere for locations and the prop erty owned by them and located in the neighborhood of Blair Furnace was added to by the 'purchase of oth er real estate. The big classification yard was constructed and put in op eration. Then came the building of the immense round house and th change of the motive power to it 1 his caused the crews to report to the scene of activity and as the wa was long the change led to the selling of many lots. Trainmen, who for years had resided in this city found it most inconvenient to longer reside here and many bought lots and erected residences until now the place has taken on a look of pros penty undreamed of.
