BR1cK.-Every citizen of Morris and the
adjoining country shall soon have the priv
iege of crectinga brick residence, business
premises or other building, or of wearing
a festive brick in their hats. as work has
recently been commenced on brick yard
in this place. The proprietors, Mr.. Col.
Inns and Mr.. O'Loughlin are both expert
enced men; and that they mean business
is apparent from the fact that location
has been purchased, and work is going
forward at the yard located north of the
park. A superior quality of clay has been
found, which in their opinion will make
first class brick, and in such quantities, and
so conveniently is the material located
that they expect to have the yard in opera
ton next week, or as soon as their ma
chinery arrives. That this enterprise will
be of great and permanent benefit to our
village, and prove profitable investment
to the proprietors, is beyond question of
doubt, for under the satisfactory arrange
ments made the brick can be manufactured
and sold at rates nearly one half the pres,
ent prices, and still .eave II fair profit to
the manufacturers. We have certainly
reason to be much grutitied that the long
felt want of an establishment of this kind
is at last supplied, and ar indebted in no
small degree for the same to the indefati.
gable efforts of our energetic fellow
townsman Mr. r. G. Moore

more serious disorders, it acts speedily and
surely, always relieving suffering, and often
saving life. The protection it affords, by
its timely use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it Az invaluable remedy to be kept
always on hand in every home. No person
can afford to be without It, and those who

numerous complaints that valuable letters
were lost. Quite a number of witnesses
were also taken up.
