Ministries are on their way to this city,
and will give one exhibition here. The
company consists OF about thirty per-
formers, and is the only troupe that
travels in its own rail way coach.
Splendid weather for the farmers
Ground was never in better shape for
seeding than this spring. 1t was dry
when plowed last fall and there has been
no heavy rains, consec uently it works up
admirably. In this vicinity we should
say the seeding is NOR than half done.
The Elgln Ill.) dhily Leader, pub
lished by J. n Wheeler formerly of the
TRANSCRIPT, is now be ing printed under
difficulties Fridays edition was printed
with the water ten inches deep on the floor.
The horses wade knee-deep in the tor
rents that overflow the highway. How is
that for high?
Every rejecting mind knows this to
be true, and it should not be forgotten, that
the local newspaper adds much to the
general wealth and prosperity of the place,
as we'll as increases the reputation of the
town abroad. A good local paper will
do more to advance the interests of your
city than any other dozen enterprises can
possibly do.
Will Richards and Albert Eustis
younger brother Of Mrs. William Rich
ards, leave Austin this week for the land
of the Rockies-and will settle in small
town by the name of Butte City,in Montana.
They will be on the line Of the Utah North
ern, railroad connection having just been
completed. We certainly wish these
young men success.
Our old friend James Kenevan, of

years, he has been laid to rest He was
buried in the Catholic cemetery of this
city one week ago last Saturday.
There is package of wooden stock
ings in the Austin post-offlce addressed
to "Ole A. Jenson." The package has
remained in the Office "uncalled for" for
two or three months, and if any person
who reads this Item knows Mr.. Jensen,
they will doubtless confer favor upon
him by notifying the P. M. of his where.
abouts so that the goods may be forwarded. |
The postmaster, thinking he might
not get any notice unless he wrote it him
self, wishes to say, housekeeping has
been going on at his headquarters for the
past week. The muchly needed improve
ments were made none too soon, and now
fresh paint, clean boxes, and clean floor
greet the eye of the daily visitor, land for
this grateful public returns thanks-we
presume.
Friends of Austin, don't wait for rail.
road shops, or something to turn up, but
turn something up yourselves. Go to
work for the interests of the town. Place
improvements, and carry them forward.
Austin is bound to be good town, rail-
road shops or not. A thriving, pushing
town will be more apt to get the shops
than dull waiting town, without enter
prise or business thrift.
Mrs. George Hay and her son James,
left yesterday for MassilIon, Ohio, she to
remain about two months visiting her son
Austin, who is resident of that city.
Mrs. Hay will be missed by the guests of
the Fleck House, as her kindly ways and
Christian cheer are ever a comfort to
those about her. We wish these friends
safe and pleasant journey. James is ex.
pecting to journey further east, we learn,
before his return, and may perhaps 20
into business with his brother at Massil. !
