The report that A. B. Easton had be-
come proprietor of the Grand proves to
have been premature. Two other parties
are, however, endeavoring to secure the
place and Mr.. Potts will probably dispose
of his interest to one or the other of them.
No matter what the report to the con.
trary may be, the smallpox has not made
its appearance in Saltwater the present

several of the selections was greeted fully
attested hat the union was successful in

the cultivated people of this city.
The present is the worst time in the year
for laboring men 10 come to Stillwate,
with the intention of getting into immedi-
ate work. Of course none of the saw-mills
are in operation, and with the exception
of the Manufacturing and Car company
there is no other industry that employs

to this city for work will do better to de-
fer doing so until later in the season.

made, but the society at large need take
no trouble in regard to the matter, as they

and the building in which they were con-
