On the 18th inst, Amed6e Rouyean, a
native Of this town, died ut his residence
on Attakapas street at the age of 36 years.
He had been confined to his bed since
last fall with an affection of the glandu
lar system, and death proved to him q
happy release from long continued and
severe bodily suffering. He served in
the Confederate army as a member Of
Winchester's Pelican Battery and was
good and faithful soldier. Recently he
belonged to the Cannoneers Of Donald
son and afterwards to the Cofield
Guards, being a member Of the latter
command at the time Of his death. The
Guards took charge Of the funeral and
buried their deceased comrade with mill
itary honors the afternoon of the 18th
inst. Mr.. Rougeau left a wife and two
children to monrnshin.

THREE CHILDREN DRowNED.-On

Flour and Saw Mills.

That the time is not far distant when
Superior will be the formidable rival of
Minneapolis in the production of -four and
lumber there is not the least doubt. That
wheat can be delivered here just as cheaply
as at Minneapolis is already understood,
and that the flour can be put upon the
eastern or foreign market at much less
cost is a no less prominent fact, and be-
sides this the mills would have cash home
market for every pound of feed it would
make in the process Of manufacturing the
flour. In this connection we might say
that one enterprisng firm is already on the
ground with this end in view But there is
room for more, just as there is at Minneap-
oils. AS to saw mills it is hardly necess-
airy to remind men in that line of our ex-
ceptionally favorable location for that bus,
mess. They understand it all, and mills
will soon begin to loom up on every hand.

Holders Of dilapidated currency,
etc, will learn by the following what
the redeemable value of torn green
backs is: United States notes, silver
certificates, and fractional rotes equal
ing or exceeding three-ffths of the
original proportions are redeemable at
their full face value Fragments con-
stituting- one half but less than three
fifths are redeemable at one-half their
face value. Fragments of less than a
half are redeemable only when accom-
panied by an affidavit stating that the
missing portion has been totally de-
stroyed. Under the Old regulations,
notes and certificates were redeemable
by tenths, and fractional currency by
ffths.

Wholesale Houses.

That Superior WAS especially fitted by
! the great architect to become great cen.
trail point for manufacture and wholesale
business, or the grand supply depot Of the
west and northwest, no one will DENY after
having once visited the place She has
every natural advantage. All she lacks
to-day is the presence Of few live ener
getic men and a small fraction of the idle
capital that is in the land. and these ele-
mcnts will soon be here, and Superior will
step to the front and take her appointed
place among the commercial cities of the
world. These are only few of the long
list of manufacturing and business enter
prsses that could be started here with pro
| tit to the city and the country at
large. Our people do not want to spend
an hours time trying to induce some one
to come here and openup little store ofscme
kind, saloon or a hotel, but let them as
one man unite their endeavors in fostering
and encouraging any or all branches of
manufacturing industries. These are the
corner stones upon which we must erect
our commercial edifce and any other would
be as building upon the sand With such a
foundation, properly laid and fitted togeth-
err the structure will rise till its shadow
shall cover the earth and all the other
branches of trade will be drawn here
through It's magnetism. Let all work, then,
to this one end-the establishment OF man
utacturing enterprises at Superior.
