It wen needless to say that they will b< cordially welcomed back to theii old home and welcomed with th< wish that thev will never agair have a moment's yearning to go elsewhere. Messrs H G and W I Askins will take active charge oi the mercantile bueiness built up and carried 011 by their father. Majoi SM Askins, for quite a longtime Maior Ask'tis came here much mori 4 than a quarter of a century ago when there was nothing at this place except a cross leads, a small depo and some three or four residences and opened up his stock of goods in a small house near where Mr J L (J Moore now h.13 his double brick store house. By his energy, thnfl and attention Mr Askins built up e large trade, the largest in this section, during the eighties. In com. mon with others he had his ups anc downs, but while many had theii downs a,ud "outs" he had no "Out.' He might have gone and did g< down at times but never "out.' Reverses could not daunt him, and he always came through hard timte, a little battered but still on deck and doing business at the old stand. Now that his boys can run the business he rightly thiuks he oughl to be permitted to take life easy and let them bear the brant of work and worry. Maj Askins is not an old man in years and feeling, but he has spent a full man's life in earnest work and has earned a rest, "he Gent and SSB N E \ I WOMEN, MEN AND CHILDR.1 'HE SWE : STAR BRAND M EN'S MEN'! received.

Last Sunday while many in this town werev endeavoring (o worship r their Cod, two local freight trains were loading and unloading goods ? at the depot and regu^rly carry' mg on the week-day work of such 1 trains.
