local items from this place might not be
uninteresting, I propose 20 give you an
item as occasion may demand. The
High School at this place after a prosper
GUS tour of twelve weeks, closed last week
with sn exhibition which was heard by a
large and appreciative audience. The
term has been very successful, though

ars presented Mr.. n. G. HYDE, the Prin-
cipal. with q very nice Gold Pen and
Portfolio. The citizens are now talking
very much of building the coming year

and honor to this part of the county
Business matters are lively, real estate
changing hands very frequently; many
Of our old citizens are selling out and 60
ing West the buyers are generally from
the oil regions of Pennsylvania.
We find a home market at the mines
for all our produce, which is usually as
high or higher than in New York City.
There has been quite an improvement
in the mercantile line" of late. Shafer
& Bro. of Shafer Farm, Pa, having pur-
chased and thoroughly refitted the estab-
lis hment owned by J. Ernest < Co., have
flled it with a large stock of goods, and
are doing adriveing cuisines. Rumor says
the 'boys" have some capital; suffice it
to say they are making hosts Of friends.
n. Hyde & Co, have also built a new
store and are doing a flourishing business.
The papers tell rs that "our soldiers
who have been in Texas, are all on their
way home. May Providence hasten the
day. "TANTUM."
