BROWNSDALE.

School closed last Friday for two
weeks vacation during the holidays.
AT last the beautiful snow has made
its appearance. Now the small boy re-
joices, and the average dog seeks cosy
nook by the kitchen freside. Look out
for sleigh-rides.
On Tuesday evening that friend Of
the little ones, St. Nicholas, made his
appearance. We always used to hang up
our stocking when we were small boy,
AID would have done 80 this time but for
fear that the hard times would prevent
the old gentleman from making us visit.
Under the care of the pastor, Rev.
!. 8. Rounce, the Congregational church
seems to be reviving considerably. Reg.
ular services are held every Sabbath and
a Sunday school is in successful opera
ton. Mr.. r. is an earnest, faithful man,
and his labors are appreciated by our
people.
We noticed in the last issue of the
Republican but one, an article rejecting
upon the character of our County Super.
intendent, A. II. Tuttle. It read like one
of the scurrilous articles "Old Hotch" is
in the habit of writing. Our acquaintance
with Mr.. Tuttle has led US to believe that
he is not such a man as he is represented
to be in aforesaid article, and that any
man who defames his character in such
manner deserves the censure of the
community.
We we're just little fast in amour.
cling in our last that Tom Kennett and
Alex. Kerr had left town. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the TRANSCRIPT announ.
ced them in Illinois, they still live, move
and have being in our midst. We have
been confidentially informed, however,
by the clothes-line telegraph, that ere
another week rolls round, they will be
in blest communion with their sweet
hearts. How we wish we were supplied
with such a commodity that we might
ca We the world awhile and commune with
kindred souls. SPECTATOR.

Improvements still go on. Mr.. Bel.
den has erected barn large enough for
four horses. Said barn is built of poles
and straw, and about four more loads of
straw would put it in shape TO keep out
very cold snow.
Last Tuesday as many as ten persons
from Rose Creek visited Austln-Max
was among them, but he preferred to stay
all night in Austin; the reasons as we
learned them, were failure to get to the
train on time, and q failure OF trains to
wait. We would like to inform Max that
they don't wait any on this road.
The Advent society have erected 4
tight board fence about six feet high on

this improvement is largely due to Mr..
Thompson, who, by the way, is one of
our most liberal and enterprising citizens.

say that SC far as we know Rose Creek

LIE ROY.

Will Geddis, formerly resident of
Austin, Is job printer in the Independent
Office.
j. NJ. Wyckof will resign his posi-
ton as Justice Of the Peace, January LIST,
all because Of that county office.
Lester Griswold, assignee of Frank
DeGue, has sold out the stock, and will
be ready to declare q dividend in few
days.
1T would seem by "Lost" notice in
the Independent, that J. NJ. Wyckoft lost
his pocket,book on the 10th ins:., con.
tanning about $72 in currency. Too bad.
The County Treasurer will make his
first visit in the county for the collection
Of 1878 taxes, at LIE Roy, on January Sd.
We are very much afraid he will depart
empty-handed.
&C F. Burdick is the name of new
lawyer recently come to town. The gen.
tleman has closed an arrangement with
Mr. Kennedy to run the Independent the
coming year. While Kennedy is compe'
tent, and a real good fellow too, yet his
paper has all along been rather thin. and
we hope the new man will infuse new
life into the concern, both editorially and
typ0gra phically.
The assignees of the LIE Roy Bank,
we are creditably Informed, will surprise
the creditors by liberal dividend, some
time from the LIST to the Goth Of January,
of probably not less than fifty per cent.
One of the assignees recently informed
US that, probably, within year from the
date of the assignment, if not sooner,
every claim would be paid dollar for dol
lar, with seven per cent. interest. We are
satisfied the failure of G. L. Henderson
b Co. was an honest one.

Tho Coal Pe0spocts.

Mr.. G. w. Ransom, of this city, has
been down looking over the local miues''
near Otrauto station, Iowa, Is miles
south Of Austin, and we pumped out of
him all he knows, and about all anybody
knows as yet, in regard to the coal de.
posits there. He says Messrs. Davis
Brothers & Dresbach, the contractors,
have not as yet commenced Sinking
shafts. Up to this time they have been
exploring tho country and closing leases
with tho farmers, (havlng now about
10000 acres of land leased in that vicin.
ity) They found drift OF smut coal,
about four inches thick, which they fol.
lowed in from the bank of the river
about twenty feet, which is, we under
stand, proof to the miner that thick
layer Of the genuine article lies "way
down below" It may be found in 80
feet, in 100, or 900, or even 800, or-not
at all. The gentlemen comprising the
company are very sanguine of success,
and departed for their homes on Friday
to spend the holidays. After New Years
they will return, ready to commence drill
ing in earnest. 1t ought not to be more
than a week or two after drilling is com.
menced, before we hear something def
mite. We understand the Co., in leasing
lands, agree to pay the owners thereof
one. half cent per bushel for all coal taken
out. AS there are about twenty five bush
els to the ton, 12112 cents per ton would
be the net royalty to the lucky farmer. If
coal is found in large quantities in that
country this royalty Will make the far
mers there "bloated bond holders" in no
time. We hope it will, don't you, reader {?
