longing to the 9th Iowa Infantry, which

and proprietor Of the saloon occurred, re.
sulting in the death Of soldier by the

Main street. They have charge of postal
affairs and give general satisfaction. North
OF the Drug Store is Picture Gallery, operated
by Mrs. S. H. Dams. Opposite the public
square is being erected Saloon by P. Bohen.
Messrs. W. g. j. Flemming are closing out
their stock of Lumber, with the intention of
disseminating business at this point. The
Elevator is doing q good business, as large
quantities of grain come into this market
The buyers are A No. judges, and they pay
all they think the grain is worth; always ready
to give good market prices. The Rail Road
Company has not erected Depot building yet,
and thousand times the question has been
asked. "When do they intend putting one up?"
The people are anxiously waiting for the day
when it shall be erected.
