accomplished considerable. This j.
the beginning which will end in max

James Eagan has made quite mum
Der of repairs upon his hotel upon At
lantic avenue this spring, and has
built new building adjoining it which
he is now using for sample room
Considerable pains has been taken in
furnishing this new building and some
of the fixtures, especially, the counter
are remarkably fine. Notice Mr.
Eagan's advertisement in this issue.
A good hay harvest is assured
There is everywhere heavy growth
of grass and unless We have an inn.
mediate long continued drouth good
hay crop is certainty. Hay in this
county always has been and is now
very plentiful, but as large amounts
of prairie grass are being continually
turned under, and as there is rapiG
increase in the amount of stock KEEP
and consequent increased demand
for hay this item is rapidly becoming
one of Importance.
The circus has come and gone. Thu
advance agent did not advertise &
menagerie or even a circus of thu
greatest order, and as no pretensions
were made there was no chance fol
disappointment. The accompanyin,
brass and string band played well anG
the performance in the tent was bet
ter than anybody expected it would
be. The handling of the cannon balls
was certainly good while much of the
tumbling and other performing was
better than the average. The audience
in the afternoon was small but was
better in the evening. There was the
side show and the usual afterwards
concert to catch the last fifteen cent.
the boys had, but then all shows have
them and this one must have them, o
course, in order to be complete. Hat
the show been advertised longer in adj
vance and more thoroughly the per
formances would have been better at
tended.
All grades of Morris and Mime.
