Will HARDWOOD and his mother are
still at Red Sulphur Springs, West Vir'
ginia, in the Allegheny Mountains. The
doctors say unless the water there will
cure Will he is beyond help. He has been
there two months, and Mr.. Harwood
writes: I'm some respects we think Will
lie has improved, and now have some
hope of his ultimate recovery, but we
are not sanguine."
Some Austin capitalist should build
several pretty cottages in Austin this sea-
son to rent. We think it would be first
class investment. Eligible lots can be
procured cheaply now. We have heard
of several commercial travellers who wish
to move to Austin with their families, but
will not do so because there are no re-
spectable houses to rent. The Board of
Trade should agitatc this subject.
The alarm of fire last Friday morn
ing created quite an excitement, as a
strong wind was blowing and fire start
ing in the right direction would have en-
dangered the town. The suspense was
very short, for before the vigilant citizen
reached the spot, the welcome news came
that the fire had been extinguished. The
house belonged to Mrs. jacobson, and
the fire originated from defective flue.
Damage very slight.
&C. L. West returned from Chicago last
week. He says he has lain in a big stock
of dry goods for the summer trade. We
know this is true, for we have noticed the
draymen delivering lots of heavy boxes
at his store for the past two or three days.
Hall & West have the only exclusive
dry goods store in town, and consequently
give attention to the keeping up Of full
stock and varied assortment of every
thing in their line.
r. Dunkelmann, so long and we'll
known to the citizens of Austin and vi
entity. as an honorable and successful
clothing merchant, has just received the
largest stock of clothing, gents furnish
ing goods of all kinds, hats and caps of
every variety and style, trunks and valises
for ladies and gents, ever offered in this
market. In prices he challenges compe-
tition, offering all his goods lower than
the lowest, and invites the public to call
and examine for themselves.

speaks thus pleasantly of one of our citi-
zens:
