nounces the opening Of his Dancing Acad-
emy for the winter term. Those desiring
to perfect themselves in this popular accom-
plshment should appear promptly At the
time and pace indicated.
B.icK.-It 10 probable that there will DO
about two hundred and fifty thousand
brick carried over in this market. This
will make . comfortable start for early
spring building. There will also be rea-
sonsbls amount Of lumber for the sams pur>
pose.
Mup.-A very good thing to have this
time Of the year, provided you don't have it
hard-is mud. We have it very hard here
in our streets, and yet it 10 very soft. The
crossings arc muddy and nasty-the streets |
are soft and disagreesble. Yes, but after
s.l, 1t 10 better that the mud bs knee deep
In the streets than TO have the streets turfed |
over with grass.
FAIa GROUNDS - II has been decided that
tho next annual Fair Of the Scott County
Agricultural Society, will be held at the
new grounds north Of Locust, between Bra
dy and Harrison streets. The old grounds
ars 70 bs brought into market Zoe suburban
residence property. The new grounds are
thoroughly fenced, and the necessary build
ings will be erected thereon, and u 6ne
track graded in due season.
Mov,NG.-The elegant and commodious
erected this season by l.. G. Dessaint, is |
now completed, and 10 shortly TO be occupi
ed by the families Of James Macken and
Thomas Kehoe. Mr.. Dessaint proposes 10
erect several more dwellings in that same
locality next season. 1t is laudlble pur-
suit, and We hope he will not weary in fol-
lowing 1t.
BulLpiSc PsoJEcr.-A party in this city
is now negotiating with Geo. L. Davenport,
for the purchase Of his old residence proper
y, northeast corner Of Third and Brady sts.
with the determination Of erecting thereon
. splendd block Of first class stores, six in
numoer, fronting on Brady. This proper
ty is $50 feet on Brady BY 90 feet on Third
and 30 centrally located, = block Of stores
would never want for first class tenents.
DuRAxr's Apprriox.-We understand
that that elegant and dssirably located tract
Of ~ acres, lying west of the Catholic Gem.
etcry, in this city. is to be plated immedi
atcly and put into the market At such rates
as cannot fail TO secure purchasers. On this
tract are several splendid residence sites
which will probably be improved next sea
son. The west end Of the city Ia growing
rapidly-not less than two hundred and
Atty houses having been erected there this
season.
PoRK PACKING. There Is prospect that
there will be something done in this line in
Davenport. The great decline in pork will
bring this about. When hogs can be bought
for dve cents per pound live weight, and
With prospect Of going as low - four
cents bsiors the packing season is over.
then is the time to pack pork. Producers
are holding for a rise, and buyers are wait
ing for decline. This game will not last
long, and whom I'll hands get ready pork
packing will commence-provided the
weather gets sobsrsd down to winter h.
