19 Sep 1891--SPECIAL EDITION ABOUT THE TOWN OF HIGBEE--HE IS AN ARTIST--And Also Deputy Postmaster and the Pet of the Young Ladies.--George T. Hayden, a son of Melvin B. Hayden, is the deputy postmaster of Higbee and a hustling, energetic young man. He is twenty-two years of age and very popular with the young ladies who congregate at the post office to buy chewing gum, sweetmeats, and the latest periodicals published in the interest of the fair sex. George carries a full line of fruits, confectionery, cigars, tobaccos, and all the leading publications, as well as stationary. He is prepared to furnish school books at the prices adopted by the state school book commission. George is also a natural artist and can make a fine wood cut with only a pen knife to work with. His work in that line is so nearly perfect that his talents should be encouraged. He is a good-natured, jolly, big hearted young man and the ladies are not to be blamed for making a pet of him. 19 Sep 1891--SPECIAL EDITION ABOUT THE TOWN OF HIGBEE--BERRY & SCOTT--Real Estate, Loan, Rental and Insurance, No. 908 North Williams Street.--Berry & Scott is one of the oldest and best known firms doing a real estate (missing text) to be thoroughly posted in all real estate matters.
