Davis Property Sold.
The sale of the Dr. Theodore G.
Davis property at the corner of Pearl
street and Church lane Saturday after
noon attracted quite considerable at
tention among the business men of
this city. The property was erected
several years ago at a cost of fifteen
thousand dollars and at that time was
considered one of the best double
hpuses in the city. Auctioneer David
S. Blew had charge of the sale. A
mortgage of $7902.26 was on the prop
erty. The sale started at five dollars
above the mortgage and was quickly
run up to one thousand and fifteen
dollars. It was then knocked off to
Clayton McPherson, the undertaker,
the total cost being $8917.26.
Mr. McPherson bought the property
for the purpose of opening an apart
ment house. The house contains
twenty rooms and the third floor is
kept cool in the summer time by the
twenty-eight ventilators. The con
tractor will begin wprk on the build
ing in about two weeks, making the
necessary alterations for a first class
apartment house. Mr. McPherson
will himself occupy part of the house.
The lower floor of the other half will
be fixed up with two offices suitable
for a doctor and dentist. The other
rooms will be turned into sleeping
apartments, each room furnished in
first class style with stationary wash
stands, and electric lights. The
building is furnished with steam heat
and is well lighted by electricity.
For some time Bridgeton has needed
just sucli a house to accommodate the
people. Mr. McPherson will undoubt
edly find his venture a most popular
one. It is quite likely the property
will be in shape for opening the first
of November. j
Miss Babcock Dead.
A telegram was received from New
Mexico on Tuesday announcing the
death of Miss Minnie Babcock.
Miss Babcock was the only daughter
of James M. Babcock, of this city.
For years she was a popular teacher in
the Bridgeton public schools. Her
health failing, about a year ago she
went to reside in New Mexico, and
was engaged in missionary work. It
was hoped a change in climate might
restore her health but such was not
the case. Many friends in this city,
where she was highly esteemed, will
sincerely mourn her demise. She was
a member of Commerce Street M. E.
Church and a devoted Christian
woman, always doing what she could
to help others,

The «t< efts are fu<l of it every day tell

so easy to look good and
to feel well.
No matter how rich or poor you are,
without good feet you can’t have good
health. Comfort, happiness, and
health will be yours when you have
sound feet, free from bunions, corns,
callosities, ingrowing toe nails, etc.
A man with bad feet is only half a
man, for with sound feet you can do
twice as much work and do it easier.
Aching feet causes a strain on the
nervous system aud unfits a person
for business or pleasure. Corns and
bunions are nerve troubles for it’s
the pressure on the delicate foot nerves
that makes the intense pain.
