y. =. Superintendent.
Our town is very quiet except the
trade in swine and lumber. Pork is a
pretty fair price-from $3.50 to $500
being paid for to-day's delivery
The Teachers Meeting held here on
Saturday was pretty well attended when
we remember the short notice that was
given. There will be another meeting
at this place next Saturday, January %.
We hope to see all the teachers within
a half score of miles present. (See Har-
per's advertisement first meeting.
The Sunday school presented d. b.
Stevens, their Superintendent, large
chair last Thursday evening, thus show
ing the esteem Mr.. S. is held in by the
school. He has been faithful worker
here in the Sunday school for the past
IA years and deserves great deal of
credit for his labor and self-sacrifice.
He was taken by surprise, but ex-
pressed his heartfelt thanks and hoped
the chair would keep him in remem-
brance of his work here. We hope he
may live many years to enjoy its COM
forts.
On Saturday OF Laufenberg went to
one of the saloons and treated, but re-

ordered him out. They had some words

its mark aud hit the saloon-keeper's
boy over the eye, without much injury
however.

FENNIMORE.

The polar wave that swept with icy
breath over the county, had partially
paralyzed business at the Center for the
past few days, but the genial weather
following has given it fresh impetus, and
at the present writing it is beginning to
boom.
Mr.. Byron Gilman, of this place, who
was accidentally shot last week, is re-
covering as well as could be expected
under the circumstances.
Improvements are going on continu-
ally in the village. The Fisher Broth
ers have added a new department to
their business, and their machinery is
turning out work very rapidly. They
are very industrious men, and should be
encouraged in their enterprise.
In the line of general stores we are
represented by Messrs. Oswald & Shut
tleworth, S. Block e. Son, and j. T.
Hicks d Co. Messrs. Roach & Perkins
deal extensively in hardware, &c. Shro-
der and Steuart have quite an establish
ment in the same line.
High Varrell has removed from his
farm to the hotel and his genial smile
makes the traveller forget his weary
toll and trouble.
Mr.. John Griffiths finds it difficult to
do all the work that is brought to his
establishment. (By the way, girls, John
is bachelor.)
The Central House, owned by w. S.
Shears, is doing a good business. He is
good landlord and deserves portion
of public patronage; he is preacher
by profession and landlord by circum-
stances.
We understand that Mr.. Lee Rogers
intends to remove to Dakota. Mr.. Rog-
ers is one of our oldest settlers and we
shall be sorry to lose him.
If g Cortezn or the printers don't be
more careful in arranging his items
there will be " war in the camp pres
entity this is by way of warning, you
know. His item last week was made
to say that young lady " was visiting
at the residence of her mother-in-law. 7
Should have been brother-in-law instead.
