Owing to the large amount of bus
iness now coming into this paper,
preparations are now beiuy made to
increase the size of The Commonwealth.
The Kuaiu-.ke river hrhlire is a
live issue, and ?-ln;ull be taken up
earnest lv ly all the people in this
section. It is so important and or
such wide reach that one of the
leading men of the county. stated
that he waiid he wiilimr r be one
ot titty to put up one thousand ;
dollars to huild the lritl. Tliar. !
however, is not the idea, it should j
he built by the county, and ihose;
m the other side .should weh-ouie
the inteiest taken here. A com-I
mittee has been appointed, with '
certain p ;wers. to look into the j
matter, and advise with the lead- j
iin; men of the western section 'of i
Uertic county. It is cevtaiulv !
worth while for that committee to j
devote a little time to this matter. !
and since the people at lai'ue are;
looking to them, and are waiting
for their report, they will proi-
ably be ready soon to advise what I
are the prospects.

are high, but if you buy the right kind of Heating Stoves,
your fuel bill will be about half the amount it will be if you
use the wrong kind.
We sell the WILSON WOOD HEATERS, and everyone
knows the WILSON is the economical Heater to use if yon
use wood for fuel.
We sell the Wilson Hot Blast for Coal. It takes less coal
and gives better heat than most of coal heaters.
Buy the WILSON for WOOD or COAL, and let your
fuel bill be. half what it would be if you bought some other
make of heaters.

TIME, ever passing, ever
changing, controls the
work of man. He can
not do now what he should
have done yesterday. Time
lost is gone forever.
The lost opportunities of the
past the wasted hours and
weak ambitions of yesterday
should furnish the founda
tion of your newer and bet
ter purposes of today.
To reap the benefits of honor, re
spect, riches, success, comfort and
happiness in the time to come, you
must sow the seeds of purpose, ef
fort and ambition now.
To provide now against the changes of
time shows wisdom and foresight. A
bank account in a safe, resourceful
bank like ours will furnish the way
and the means.
