ish q fond hope for a continuance of the

No wood in the private wood yards for
the greater part of this week. This con-

neighbors small stock in order to keep the
kettle boiling and house warm.

stantial and comm odious barn.

very convenient and are accordingly helping

Kennedy, of Belleville, which occurred on
the 9th inst. Mr.. Cooper, if we mistake
not, was formerly q resident of Morris and
established the first paper in Stevens coun-
| ty.
| We understand that Mr. Louis Highland
has concluded to accept the democratic
nomination for county commissioner in the
first district. This will complicate mat

a close enc. The towns in the district are
largely republican however and Mr.. Heg-
land has large majority to overcome, yet
he is an old and well known citizen and
the contest will be governed more by per-
sonal than political preferences.

! business has been brisk and the favorable
weather during the week now closing,
