on the White River branch, the new line

Newport in 1888, where he has made his

been one among a number of prominent
business men who have been responsible
for the upbuilding and improvement of
this town. In every public enterprise
Captain McHugh is found in the front
ranks, a faithful and efficient worker.
In the summer of 1904 he established
the Creighton Hotel, naming it in honor
of his daughter, Mrs. Creighton, of
Omaha, Neb. The Creightons are known
quite as well in Omaha for their good
works as is Captain McHugh in New
port. This hotel is one of the neatest,
up-to-date and well-equipped hotels in
the state. Only the best of cooks are
employed and the dining room service
is unexcelled. The house is fitted

This is one among the big mercantile
companies of the state. They carry a
$120,000 stock of goods, and last year
did $400,000 worth of business. They
employ 50 people in the mercantile busi
ness alone, to say nothing of the vast
number of employes on the various plan

members of this firm are: Sigmund
Wolff, Isaac Goldman, Sol Adler, John

Minn. They do a general merchandise
business, handling everything from the
smallest article to the latest improved
farming machinery, wagons and bug
gies. The building required to handle
this immense stock measures 100x134
feet, part of which is three stories high.
This firm also does business in con

Company. This firm controls about 20,
000 acres of fine tillable land, all in Jack
son County. They have about 6,000
acres under cultivation that will produce
from one-half to one and one-fourth
bales of cotton per acre. It is difficult to
give the exact number of people em
ployed on the various plantations of this
company, but it is safe to say it will
reach 500 people. All of the land owned
by this company is for sale at from $3

acres of cut-over timber land. All of
their land is easy of access and will pro

of the soda fount itself, which is made

The last thing Mr. Jacocks placed in his
