The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1859-12-02

FARMERS, LOOK here w ny don
our farmers bring into Manitowoc their
wheat, rye, oats, butter, potatoes, shingles,
and every other article o. their produce
They are scarce here at the present time,
and our merchants aud milIers offer to pay
you the highest price. The large increase
Of population in Manitowoc the past sea-
son, has made il oDe of the best markets
in tie West, and every article that you
raise will meet with ready sale. Be
sides, our numbering establishments are
! preparing to send their men into the
woods, and they must be fed. If the
farmers Of this and adjoining counties
study their own interests, they will make
Manitowoc their market place. Bring Oh
your produce, and reap the benefit ofhigh
prices. When you get your cash and
wish to buy goods, trade with those who
advertise in the Pilot. They invariably
sell the cheapest
MARINE ITEMs.-The schooners Col.
GLover, BILE, and 4ldrach, are now in the
River, and will winter here The schoon-
ers FL Tempo and I',go Charles will also
probably make this port their winter head
quarters.
The schooner 10. Villas has been laid
mp at Milwaukee, and the balance Of the
Manitowoc fleet will undoubtedly seek
that port or Chicago for laying up.
We would like to see our whole fleet of
vessels in our halbor this winter. but the
lateness of the season will prevent them
from making their natural port. 1t is
consolation, however, to know that they
all have realized prosperous voyages du-
ring the past season.
HEAVY STORM AND Loss OF LIFE-The
storm Of Thursday night, the 24th ult.,
was the hardest experienced at this port
since our residence in Manitowoc-not-
withstanding which several vessels at an
Choir in our bay rode out the gale in safe
ty.
On Friday morning, a sail boat was
washed ashore near Two Rivers, and close
by was found the bodies Of two men, IN
doubtedly belonging to her She was
named the Odd Fellow, and was suppo-
sed to hail from Bay de Noque. We have
no particulars, except the above.
THE RoADs.-Owing to the late rains,
the Roads became quite deep, and there
has been a two weeks suspension of the
usual business from the country towns.
But the frost Of the past few days has
closed over the mud and water, and the
roads will soon become quite smooth, and
produce Of the country will again flow in
to town, and our streets present a lively
and cheering appearance. We trust that
when the roads become smoothed over,
some fast person with a fast team will
drive around to our Office on a bright, fros
| tv and bracing morning-such as we have
had for the past week-and give us a drive
of at least seven miles and back. Don't
all come at once. We are sorry WINDI
ATE has parted with his fast horses

| SIDE WALKs.-We have some excellent
side walks in our village, but not all that
our own personal convenience requires
| We wish walks to be extended along 9Th
and 6th streets, from York to Park streets,
and as We have no property on these streets,
we are safe in urging the village authorities
to levy a sufficient tax for the purpose
Will J. E. PLATr and Judge REED Object /?
Though they would have to pay the great
esI amount Of the expense, we hope they
will not refuse. after knowing our wishes
in the premises.
W1NTER.-The recent heavy rains were
much needed and very timely. The springs
are filed and the earth is we'll prepared for
the closing in of winter, whose approach
is quite graceful. We hope it will soon
wreath the earth with snow, ana the faces
of our lumbermen and bellies and beaux
with smiles.
