Rock ELM, Dec. "a, 1867.
Ed. JOURNAL Thinking yGu would
like to know what is going on in this ru
raj town, write you few items. Il
you have never lived Z" in the woods"
you can hardly form an adequate idea of
the amount of industry and perseverance
shown in a town like this.
1t is but q short time since the town
was organized, and yet we now have
169 registered voters, and Mt the rate
the town is settling up, in another year
we shall have 300.
During the past year we have had n
saw mill and two stores built here
Messrs. HARoN, Fox & WHITE, former
ly of Iron Ridge, Dodge Co., are the
proprietors of the steam saw mill. They
have "a horse power engine, which
runs five foot circular saw, and q store
with good stock of general merchan-
disc. They are energetic men, just the
kind to build up new country. The
other store is owned by E &. p. CoNDIT,
also from Dodge Co. He came here the
past summer, bought farm and open
ed store. He proposes 10 build lar
ger store next summer; he is jolly fel
low, and is dong fine business.
a new Post Office, named Woodale,
has been established in the town, La
PHRoP SMITH Postmaster. 1t is on the
route from Maiden Rock to Menomonee.
There a good deal OF buying and sell
ing land going on. We have some Of
the solid men from Dodge Co. here I;
WIN. CoNDIT, Esq, is one of our most
enterprising citizens, and is showing the
people whet energy and perseverance
can do. He is one of the early settlers
in this State, opened splendid farm in
Dodge Co, and last summer sold out
there and came here
We have two organized churches
Methodist and Freewill Baptist. Rev.
Mr.. BRowN has charge of the Methodist,
nnd has quite large congregation
Rev. HARMON STILLwELL is the resident
Baptist minister; as yet the church is in
its infancy, but is in prosperous condi
ton.
Public schools ace being started in sew
eral districts this winter.
What we very much need is good
thoroughfare through the county, from
Prescott TO some point on its eastern line,
mot that we haven stone store located
at the end of the route,) but we think it
would be a great benefit to the county at
large, and no point would it half so much
benefit as the city of Prescott.

About 100 cord of rock, at q cost of
SIS per cord, are on the ground for a
new store, by Burhyte Bros.
Sanderson & Wilson have nearly all
the rock ready for their new store, and
rock and lumber for the new Congrega-
tioual Church are en- route and on the
ground.
We have no promises ahead but these
for further improvements except what
NAV be expected in the natural course of
events. People will continue to come
here-young as well as older,-heDce it
becomes necessary for those already here
to build additions. and for every new
immigrant to build new domicil.
We have a long list of Iaboring me-
chanics, and not very short one of cler-
gymeu, having five. Two good hotels,
and one beer saloon, two grocery stores
and four dry goods and groceries, one
boot and shoe store, and two hardware
stores complete the list in that line
Three blacksmith shops in full blast. and
two shoe shops do up the shoeing for
man. beast and "muIe,r in double quick,
by Sherman's big clock, near which he
may be found daily, plying his vocation.
Three doctors answer many calls in all
directions, while En-. Davis, at his old
Drug Store, fills their prescriptions to
order, and furnishes any amodnt of pat
ent medicines, nostrums, fiddles, and
Yankee notions generally. OF wheel
wiehts and carriage makers we are short,
but Havens and Thompson keep two
good warehouses, or stores, if you please,
we'll stocked with all kinds Of furniture.
These are places of great resort by can
didates fer matrimony, and even by ma
ny who have survived that interesting
period.
| think our business as a whole, for
the last year, has fully doubled that of
aay preceding year. There are many
things we want. we want Bank-we
wait Printing Office--we want moro
MilIs-we want more money, and We
want-more pills.

improvements in IS6S.--Bus-
Iness Of its principal Villages.

We give this week correspondence
from several of the principal villages in
this county, showing their growth du-
ring the past year, and their present bus
mess. The year has been marked by no
extraordinary increase in population or
rise in the value of property; but a con-
slant and vigorous growth has been
going on--a growth in wealth in which
the country has exceeded the towns, as a
few years ago the towns were in advance
Of the country. Mattel and Rock Elm
in particular, have received large acces-
sions from emigration. A large amour;
hiss been expended the past year for
school houses, bridges, roads and other
improvements, and in all public matters,
Pierce County maintains its reputation
as a liberal, intelligent and patriotic
county.

the line on an old flea bitten frame of a
horse, and as he passed, a chap greeted
him with

The cavalryman did not relax a mus

"Then, my friend, IT'S monstrous pity

shouts of laughter.
