',ssts.s.r's,rt.,' HAMILTON.
.i1tThe following was intended for last
hweek, 9but reached us one day too late.)
.asAlr. Brown has moved into the new
thotefon Third street, and will be ready
rforibusiness in few days.
SIM. Sarver left last week for his former
home, Durand, III. On his return he will
be accompanied by Mrs. Sarver and
his family, who will make their home in
Hamilton.
Mrs. Cox, formerly of the Winchester
Hotel, has taken charge of the dining
department of the Hamilton Hotel, and
as Mrs. Cox is we'll known as one of the
best caterers in the North West, the
already first-class reputation of the house
will be sustained.
~ Harry Joy, who has been slightly indis.
posed, and took a short vacation to recu.
perate, is on duty again. In his absence
MI. iDumMe of Pembina had charge of the
business. Mr.. Hagerman is fortunate in
having; two such popular and capable
young men to attend to his business in.
terests.
The wheat market may be consider.
ed fairly op,nel for the season, as
much as ] $50 bushels being taken in one
day last week. So far ninety per cent Of
the grain has been graded Nc. hard. On
Wednesday the price was eighty-two
cents. Mr.. Sheldon commenced buying
at the new elevator on Monday and A.
Mclean will be in the market in few
days for Trail & Co.. so the farmers may
expect to get all there is in their wheat.
Again the grim messenger has entered
one of our households ahd summoned
away the brightest. On Friday last &C.
Gil, son of DR.. and Mrs. Bearisto, died
after long illness. Little Cecil was more
than usually bright and attractive child,
a general favorite in the town and need
less to say the delight Of his parents who
have the sympathy of all who know
them. The; funeral took place on satur-
day tothe Gayileer cemetery.
All lines OF business show marked i'm
provement during the past few days, no
doubt owing to the fact of the wheat is be-
ginning to move, and the merchants and
others have unbounded faith in our
prospects and are laying in large stocks.
TIE. Yerxa is now buying fall and win
ter goods and intends his Hamilton
establishment to be the foremost in its
line in the county. Mr.. Sarver is also
east buying largely for his rapidly in
creasing trade.
On "Wednesday last several St. Paul
Merchants, accompanied by L. E. Booker
of st. Vincent, took possession of the
bankrupt establishment of G. F. Winter
& Co., and installed Mr.. Charlton as
receiver. On Saturday representative
of Chicago house came around to see
about all open account Of $4,000 and find
ing the most of the goods still unpacked
called in the aid of q couple Of lawyers
and the Deputy Sheriff and removed the
goods to the depot During Sunday the
parties in possession we're not idle and
calling to their assistance Lawyer Knee
shaw and Sheriff Brown, moved the
goods back again. On Monday evening
another Chicago gentleman appeared
.on the scene accompanied by McKittricls
: Of Bathgate aud the deputy ShiriH to
give the goods another move. What the
final outcome of the whole business will
be its, impossible to say
but one thing is certain that there is
q "culled pusson" in the fence about the
size Of Jumbo and every honest trader
and all who desire the commercial well
being of the town should regret the
events of the past few days.
