The Freeland Bros. not only have a first-class livery barn, but they are doing a big business in the way of buying and shipping horses. We were shown through the barn the other day and saw a number of animals that would be hard to beat anywhere. They have one team of black mares that they expect to get upward of $400 for, and several other teams valued at $350, and there is one especially good thing that can be said of the Freeland boys in their dealings, and this is, when they sell you an animal you can depend on it being just as it is represented. The Rink livery barn, as conducted by the Freeland Bros., is a credit to Marion.
The Marion National Bank corner and the stairway leading to the Odd Fellows lodge rooms above are marked improvements to Main street.
Last Thursday, just as we were getting ready to go to press, a young man came rushing into the office and requested that we put in an item stating that he had lost a pocket book containing three five dollar bills. The item went in, and hardly had the paper reached its thousands of city readers before the pocket book and its three five dollar bills were in the hands of the owner — he found them upon the dresser when he went home. Thus is the value of advertising in this great journal exemplified.
The recent rains and warm weather have started the blue grass to growing again, and the lawns about town are almost as green as though springtime had come.
The juvenile crowd gave a party at the home of Miss Clara Frazer on Tuesday evening in honor of Miss Naomi Simpson, the occasion being her fourteenth birthday. Progressive dominoes were played, after which the young people enjoyed themselves at a candy pull. Besides the hostess and guest of honor those present were: Mary Chilson, Dora Powers, Bessie King, Eva Bryan, Eva Scott, William Frazer, Bill Scott, Laird Dean, Clifford Coburn, Marion Lindsay, Louis Keller and Roy Frazer.
Homer Hoch has rented the Gibson property, just north of Dr. Hannaford's residence, and has been putting in the past week getting "settled."
At a recent stock show held at Hope, Will H. Rhodes, of Tampa, came near capturing all the prizes on Hereford cattle, landing seven firsts and three seconds and all the sweepstakes. J.H. Shields, of Lost Springs, won two first and three second prizes on his Herefords. Tampa and Lost Springs, it might be remarked, are in Marion County.
L.F. Keller and wife and J.H. Hoch and wife spent several days this week fishing on Middle Creek. Hate to tell this on them, but it must be done.

The city council will hereafter meet in the rear room of the Powers building, the former quarters. The change was made Monday. We now hope to see the unsightly fire department building moved back on the lot so as not to hide the park view from Main street, and also give a better view of the Auditorium building from the east.
