portable saw mill from Columbus, Ohio, to be
here in a week or two, which they propose to

ton as this will be great benefit to that neigh

HOTEL AT PLYMoUTH.-Mr. L. NJ. Harris,
an old resident Of the place, is now partially
prepared to keep travellers; but when he adds
an addition to his house, which he proposes to

energetic, go-ahead citizen, and by close work
and economy has made himself neat little

landlord. The need of hotel has been felt
here for year or two, and when the road is

short time, our rich and beautiful prairies will
attract the attention of many seeking homes in
this valley. We bespeak for Mr.. Harris the
success he so well deserves.
