A new department store is being built on Main Street. It will be finished with brick and plaster. It will be a fine addition to the town.

Advertising Opportunity – Do not be backward about advertising with us. We shall constantly circulate 500 copies throughout the community. The Signall will have a correspondent in every important area. You will see news from all over the country in its columns.

There will be divine services at the Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. W.H. Morris, next Sabbath at 7 p.m. All are cordially invited.

Mr. F.S. Lesne and wife, so we hear, will shortly leave for Ohio, where they will visit friends and relatives until spring.

Weiser is likely to have a Christmas tree this year, as some young ladies have been meeting with good success in soliciting subscriptions for that purpose.

Look at Sommer & Gorrie’s advertisement. They will sell all kinds of merchandise at reduced prices before moving into their new brick store.

We have located in the building occupied by Geo. Davis for the present. We will probably remove to other quarters in the near future.

George J. Davis is the sole agent for The Standard Horse and Cattle Food in Washington County. Send for a sample and give it a trial.

From a private letter from Warrens, it is learned that there isn’t a particle of snow in that camp. On the contrary, they are having warm, sunshine-filled days, though it is quite frosty at nights.

C.W. Townley has sold the Hotel Weiser to Sterns & Bostwick, late of Baker City. We did not learn the consideration, but these gentlemen will make it equal to any in the state.

Sommer & Gorrie will close out their stock of ladies’, misses’, and children’s cloaks at fifty percent below the regular price. Go and see them before they are all sold out.

Sommer & Gorrie also have a fine selection of gents’ overcoats at astonishingly low prices.

On account of being very unwell, and rushed to get out our first issue, we are short of local items this week and perhaps a few typographical errors may be found in our columns. We shall endeavor to give more town news in the future.

The W.C.T.U. entertainment last Friday evening was a decided success, worthy of mention. Over $50 were raised. The object of the W.C.T.U. is a worthy cause and they should receive the support of the people of our town.

Don’t fail to look over our advertising columns each and every week, as we will be constantly adding to them and giving facts that may be beneficial to you. Our advertisers are strictly business men who know what they are doing, and they will tell you through our columns facts that you will be glad to know.

Our space this week is limited, which prevents us from including as much news as we would like. We appreciate your patience and will strive to provide more comprehensive updates in future issues.

Our young folks are becoming anxious to indulge in the pastime of skating, but the ice won’t come. There should be ice several feet thick this winter according to indications, as we learn that muskrats have built their houses with three stories and a basement.
