ONE of the institutions we have in our
city, is Tult's mill. 1t is wonderful, the
amount of wheat, corn, &c, that is ground
there each and every week. The Ault

and reliable gentlemen, and there was
never any better -four made at any mill
in the country, than they make, and they
take the REGISTER.
The entertainment to be given by the

WHAT good thing it would be for
the citizens of Bcllaire, if there was Il
street railway in operation now. All
property owners should subscribe liber-
ally toward raising the adequate amount
of money to lay a. track from Benson ;

they should have everything ready to 60
| to work on it rs soon as the spring
opens. A first class street railway would
enhance the value of property in Bell
aire, at least 70 per cent.
IT is funny to see how drunk man
will pick his way through the mud.
