since Tuesday.

of the G. B. road is fast being made
ready for passage. The pile driver is
doing excellent work and trains will
be running to-day.
The st. John Society have decided
to postpone their annual celebration
until next year, believing it would be
in bad taste to celebrate while the city
is in mourning. 1t is well.
Jones and Nash received car load
of fresh lime to-day. Parties wanting
lime can get it from their "Pat Bin"
as fresh as from the kiln.
We have had more visits this week,
then ever before, while in business.
Had we space we would give person
al of each. But we have enjoyed the
visits of all exceedingly.
We received at the hands of Chas.
DAILY as good a role of Bologna sau-
sage as was ever made in Grand
Rapids. Just ask Lou how she liked
it.
Biron & Writer'S feet of Timber is
still tied up in the eddy below the
bridge. Mr.. Hathaway has hopes of
being able to start out this week.

may expect very able sermon.
We have seven extra quires of
papers this week with full particulars
of the food. All desiring them may
get them for five cents a piece, or six
for % cents, by calling at this offico.
Sprague's Circus gave their per-
Torrance on last evening to fair
crowd. On account of the food they
were obliged to hire the former base
ball grounds on pumpkin hill. Their
show was not very heavy, having no
electric lights, and only poor lamp
light, making everything gloomy.
Some of the travelling was excellent.
Take all in all the circus was a poor
one.

The only place in town that you
can buy the genuine Alden Fruit Vim
egar is at Spafford & Coles. They
guarantee it to be perfectly pure and
two years old. In fact it is the best
vinegar manufactured and costs no
more than cheap vinegar.
People will probably get some idea
how much water was on our streets,
when we tell them that log foated
back of Antoine Arpins saloon that
scaled 976 feet. And three on main
street that scaled respectively 10,
$50 and 1856, which is really surpris-
ing.
A social gathering of young people
at M. j. McRaith' s residence in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. McRaith, was
enjoyed very much by all present. We
partook of bounteous supper, after
which Miss Hattie Mosher entertained
the party with some fine vocal and
instrumental music
Our citizens intend holding a meet
ing to-day to determine, if possible,
the most feasible plan Of settling the
question whether to repair the de-
streets or moving the city to
higher grounds. A good deal of feel
ing is being worked UP in favor of
moving, while large element prefer
remaining in their old places.
