Professor L. w. Flke is having a

Samuel Conner and daughter of
Bruceton, were in our town last week
visiting friends.
Our gun-smith, E. D. Benson, has
invented eelf-setting machine which
he attaches to gun lock, AMI when
he pulls back the hammer, 1t sets it's
own triggers. 1t certainly will be a
great advantage to hunters, as the
triggers are always ready. Our
town has many good mechanics, and
Portland in many respects, is com
ing out OF the fog. We have been
laoorlng under many disadvantages
for long time, but now we begin to
have hope. We know of MANY
buildings that are going up in the
Spring and Summer, among the rest
grist mill and other machinery.
We need mill very much, at the
old water mills in this section are all
ways dry, or frozen up.
The shook business is opening M
here very brisk, but we can not saw
that it is OF any Importance to anv
country, yet it helps some branches
OF business.
We are informed by good author
itY that NJ. M. Benson, from near
Bruceton, will move to Portland in
few days. Mad, is good carpen-
ter and No. gun smith. Success
to him. We slso understand that q
Mr.. jenkins, of Parkersburg, will set
up large store here 10 a few weeks.
