recently lost so heavily in the fall OF the
Basford block. The man who has a heart
so ready to feel for others misfortunes, is
good man to trade with, friends; he will
never take advantage of you.
We are rejoiced to learn that J. Sol

Masonic block and Mower County Bank,
at cost of about 2,700, and will pro-

block, the structure to be first-class and
finished in 80 days. This intelligence will
be doubly gratifying to our readers from
the fact that Mr.. Solner has at times talk.

Austin could lily spare so large hearted
and deservedly popular citizen as MI.
