Bedding Plants at French's Warehouse.

ness, has built kiln west of the steam

Ddace.--There was dance at Over
mans Hall on Wednesday evening"
One of the "boysn informs us that
there were thirty-three "stags" and five
ladies present. They "let the dance
go on and the joy be unconfined "
till about eleven o'clock, when the con-
clusion was reached that it didn't pay,
and the merry company dispersed.
Troceries.-Mr. Chas. Nicely offers our
readers new advertisement this week,
which we beg our people to appropriate
to their good. We have only one thing
against Neely's, viz: going there once
induces man to 90 there all the time,
and the tendencies of the place are there
fore to interfere with proper equaliza-
tionof trade. Do you see?
Boots and Shoes.-Mr. A. Trowbridge
is out this week with his Spring adver-
tisement, and those who desire correct
information in regard to Boots and
Shoes are advised to read it. Trow-
bridge has got up nice showcase in |
front of his store, filled with samples of
goods, so that people need not even 60 |
into the store to be tempted to dress
their feet at his popular place.
Strike on, the Rdilroad.-On Monday |
last the laborers employed by Overman
e. Mccoy on the Iowa Central Railroad
struck for higher wages. They were re-
.ceiving l,5o per day and demanded
$1,75. The contractors refused to accede
to this demand. Part of the men re-
turned to their work yesterday morn
ing ut the old wages, and the others
will probably soon follow suit.
Garde,ainy.-Messrs g. & Nj. Ram
bach have five acres west of Mrs. Mere
dith's, where they are starting fruit
and vegetable garden. They are plant
ing large number of grape vines. A
good garden, such as we believe is pro-
posed, it is safe to say will be profitable
to its proprietors. This enterprise is
being managed by George, who found
indoor occupation injurious to his
health. ls,
E" A Young Thief.-A little shaver eight !
or ten years old, named Drum, was de- I
tected last Saturday in putting whip
lash in his pocket at Grant & Morrison's |
store. Mr.. Fred Boshmler, Grant q
Morrison's chief clerk, gave chase, over |,
hauled the boy near Bird, Pickton &
Co.'s corner, took the lash away from
him, and punished the little scamp by |
taking hold of his collar and showing /
him the exact location of the calaboo.se.
Business Nenas.-Hazlett & Co. have
suspended business, having nearly clos
ed out their stock of goods and packed 1
up what remained, The store vacated
by this firm is being refitted Tor Messrs.
Frank g. Herman, who will probably
move next week. The store now occu-
pied by f. IL NJ. is rented to Mr.. L.
Darling. gentleman from Belvidere,
Ill, who will open there stock of Dry
Goods, &c. His goods are already in
town. b. F. White has bought out w.
