their sales exceed six hundred dollars a
day.
Mr.. III. Gray is buildings fine residence
on King St., for Mrs. William Byerly. If
the manner in which Mr.. Gray has pushed

and you will be sure to have your work
well done.

Wednesday our buyers bought several
thousand pounds from persons who reside
nearer Comma than Owosso, including
