Our correspondent from Lone Tree asks. in
behalf Of the farmers, that the city council set
OF or designate piece of ground near the Ea-
gle block, or other accessible locality, for q
market place, where produce can be exposed
tor sale by first hands. We think the srgges-
ton wise one, if q long low shed could be
erected for temporary market house. We
like a properly regulated town market, where
all can go and get their fresh vegetables, poul-
try, fish, fruits and meats. without the inter-
medling of middlemen. Let our council think
ofthis matter.
