HARD TIMEs.-No better evidence Of
the hard times aud consequent depreci-

prices real estate brings at forced sale,

which j. worthy Of mention. The steam,
Touring mill at 81. Anthony, halt less
than two years ago by Alex. Kcssler a.
Co, at cost Of over $500, and now in
good order, was sold at sheriff sale. the
owners signing an agreement giving
whoever purchased immediate posses
lion. so that;thcir investment could be
made 4 paying one Immediately. The
mill only brought $3.50. and was pur-
chased bv MeSsrs. T.. Maxcdon and
Camden Cox. Mr. Maxcdon il from
Orange county. and we are informed
becoming citizen OF Dubois.
lie Is said to be- an energetic business
nan, and with a clever a partner as Mr..
Cox. we don't see how their mill can
avoid being paying institution. Wei
they design msving il either
