JUDGE CLoUGH is spoken of in
several quarters as the successor OF
Judge Barron. The election OF
Circuit Judge takes place in April,
but the elected Judge does not take
his seat ill the following January.
We believe it is understood that
Judge Barron, on account of poor
health, does not desire a reelection.
We hope Judge Clough will con-
sent to become candidate. He
would be almost sure OF election,
it seems TO US, tor it is doubtful it
there is q gentleman more popular
or better qualified IN the circuit.
The lake counties will be a unit for
him. Douglas county, which is
Judge Clou CHS old home, and his
more recent Que for the past nine
months, would take especial pride
in seeing him again elevated TO the
bench which he so ably and credit
ably occupiedsior two terms, cover
ing the twelve years prior TO Judge
Barron's accession.

Business Openings at Superior.

There is fine opening here tor
a matchmaker and jeweler.
Also for saddler and harness
maker. There are hundreds of
teams employed in the numbering
camps and on the several railroad
works in this vicinity.
Also for retail lumber yard here
in town, where all kinds of lumber,
and everything needed in the con-
siruction of buildings could be
purchased, such as doors, sash,
blinds etc. In The same connection
brick, lime, and building stone
could be kept. Now when a man
wants 10 build house he has 10
run all over the country 10 a dozen
different places 10 get his materials.
There Is no retalt lumber yard here
ana the nearest saw mill is four
miles away. There promises to be
great many houses erected here
next year, and the dem and for
materials will consequently be
great. An ;.bllshment that would
manufacture doors, shasb, blinds
e.c., and dress tum Der, would do
good business at this point.
Also brick YARD, or a dozen OF
them tOr that matter, for along
with r heavy home demand, our
handsome red brick viii always be
eagerly sought tor by people west
OF Us.
There are also grand openings
here for holesaie houses, s,eievat0rs,
coal yards, blasl furnaces, ,toundrIes,
saw mills, smelling works and
hundred other Industries that men
