This town, the largest in the county OUTSIDE
of the city, continues to increase in ITS popuia-
t;an and business. Several new buildings have
beer, nut nm this season. and more are in course
Of erection. The merchants and mechanics Of
the town are all doing good business, and we
presume their business win continue toinerease.
Among the business men are the following;
A. w. BENHAM, has flouering mill and car
ding machine both kept constantly running
The brand of this mill, is evidence OF first rate
article Of -four. Mr.. Benham buys none out
the best quality of wheat, and his long expert
ence in the milling business and the excellence
of his machinery enables him to manufacture II
into the best -four. His carding machine is also
doing good business, and although the spin-
ming wheel is not as much in vogue as 1t used TO
be, yet every good housewife wants to manufac-
ture her own wooden yarn, and wool carding
machine finds plenty to do
| HAYTHoRN & Son, Merchants, keep large
and well selected stock of Goods, for country
store and are doing good business. The peo-
ME of the southwestern portion of this county,
and the adjoining portions of McEenry find it
convenient TO have store in their midst
MCDONALD & ANDERSON, Merchants, also
keen n full assortment of Goods on their shelves,
and appear to be doing quite an extensive bust
ness.
| r. SHoTLIFF, Blacksmith and Wagon maker
| is doing good business. He keeps three fires
going in his shop, and has several hands en-
ployed This is good location for such bust
ness. being in the midst of. fine agricultural
district. where farmers always have more or less
to be done, in keeping good the wear and tear OF
their farming implements.
HUGH. MCINTYRE, also carries on the Black
smithing business-is capital workman IN his
line and his work always figures conspieuo2sly
in our county fairs. His prairie ploughs have
drawn several premiums He is doing an ex'
tensive business.
r. arnold, Boot and Shoemaker, is doing an
increasing business. He makes a capital boot
and consequently has all the business he can at.

changes that tho &C constitutional convention in
