city OF most surprising growth even in this
very progressive age. Seven months ago,
there stood on this town site two log
houses used by farmers as dwellings, situ-

much of their trade from distance-thus
increasing the business of the place-and
are entitled to the patronage Of every per-
son interested in the growth of the town.
