From Thursdays Daily.]
Crane & Green have lately received
lot of new books.
Considering the quantity Of game rt
ported in the vicinity of Benton our hunt
r ers do not appear to be as enthusiastic d
usual.
Owing to some changes in the RECORD
office we have been unable to furnish on
usnaI amount Of local matter, but will Ell
deavor to meet the wishes Of our reader
by Friday next. .."..-
Joseph Sullivan, the only harness make
of any account in Benton, has Just re-
ceivcd the largest supply of new good.
that ever arrived at Benton. Joe makes
harness and saddles and not mere traps
that Mill only stand the inspection OF am.
atuers.
The proprietors of the Grand Union Ho.
tel seem to be purchasing about all the
good grub that comes into town, hence
we conclude that the patronage Of this in
stltution even exceeds the expectations of
the proprietors.
The attention Of builders is called to the
large lot Of dimension lumber received
this day by Messrs. |. G. Baker & Co.,
consisting of 2x4 scantling and fencing
lumber.
Crane & Green have a new cabinet.
Crane d Green are also tirst-class news re-
porters. Anything you happen to mem
tlon in Crane & Green's will be duly re-
ported in the papers, regardless OF poll
tics, but generally Republican papers.
Charley BecknelI, the enterprising bar
Der, has lately built nice little home Oh
Franklin street, which is not only credit
able to the owner, but to the builder, Mr..
Peter Smith, Of Benton. Becknell's wife
is also q rustler and the pair are doing
land-otficc business.
cit now looks as though Waterman
would beat his opponent in three counties
out Of the four comprising the Judicial
District. ."-PreSs.
The kind Of whisky you are drinking
now may cause you and Waterman to look
at it that way, but Yoar obliquity Of vision
is no indication Of the result.
A free to all dance will be given at the
Eagle Bird Saloon on Monday night. Fos-
'er is one Of the most enterprising saloon
keepers in town and has lately employed
he Virginia Minstrels to attract attention
o his place We regret that press of mo1e
work prevented the RECORD
'ffice from furnishing the programme OF
he entertainment.
u. &. Power e Bros and [. G. Baker &
'o.'s dry goods establishments are now !
'etter supplied with goods than any others
n town. These firms import large stocks
I goods every year, and have competent
uyers to select their purchases. Buyers
honld always inquire of the leading firms
elore the small establishments lately {
tarted mp, as the latter usually purchase
heir goods in Benton and are unable to
ell first-class goods at low prices.
George Croft has had a lot of doors and G
TindoW frames made to build hotel ut {
ne Nine-Mile Coulee. This station, if not ]
ow, will soon be an important station, |
'eorge has been very successful this sum
Ter, and deserves success. Mr.. Peter I
mith, the enterprising carpenter, OF a
'enton, built the sashes, doors and win il
ow frames for Mr.. Croft. 1t may be pro- b
er to state in this connection that making
oor frames, doors, ETC., is a new feature
J Benton, and now that it is known that
etc Smith can do work of this kind
arties intending to build should consult 7
m before sending their orders elsewhere =
employing carpenters to fit their doors '
I'd windows. Many persons are not L
ware that work Of this kind can be done
Benton, but Smith has already furnish Y
hundreds of dollars worth of this kind
work. =
