A move is on foot to start a new lumber yard here
to be known as The Farmers' Lumber and Coal Co. Shares are being
sold at ten dollars each. Nearly $2000 has been raised already

It was a shock to the community last Friday afternoon
when the news spread that Agent Pomeroy of the Northwestern had
resigned his position to take effect immediately. Mr. Pomeroy
has been a good agent and has always been well liked and he will
be greatly missed at the depot. F. H. Diem is running the station
at present. We are glad to learn, however that Mr. Pomeroy does
not intend to leave Kiron but will remain here. Just what he
will do we cannot say as yet.
