We understand that Mr. T. MeAsh
of Varna. is about to open up a large
grocery, flour and feed store in con-

especially as Varna is fast becoming
a great business • centre. All we want
now to make the town complete is a
good shoemaker, a tinsmith, a flour
mill, an electric railway, a telephone
and electric light' system and a branch
of a chartered bank. Some of these
things at least we look for in the near
