The Marshall County Bank has increased
lis capital from $4,000 to $4,000, making
its liabilities $4,000 instead OF S5O,oOO.
Some OF our wealtniest citizens are among
The stockholders, making the stability OF
the institution u~nquestionable, and the
stock already commands q fair premium.
The new bank building is expected TO De
completed and ready for occupancy by the
last OF October. 1t will be one OF the hand
soonest structures in the county.

pTovements have been ade in and ABOUT
the buildings, and scholars and teachers
will find it a much more pleasant place

The Scarlet Fever Epidemic,
which has been raging for a number OF
weeks past, has abared and fears are no
longer entertained of it becoming wide
spread. All the cases reported are doing
well, and most of them out OF danger.
DR.. Hall, of Wheeling, was in town on
Friday, looking after quarters, with a view
Of moving here. The Doctor is a pleasant

Colonel Thomas Fleming has sold one OF
lis lots on the corner OF Second and ID
streets to Mr.. Linnell, of Littleton, for the
sum Ct 5000. The lot is only 30x77, and
we take this as an evidence that real estate
in the middle ward is advancing and readily
commands a high price.
AS an evidence OF the
RAPID Increase OF Population
in our Vile, we need but mention that one
OF our most prominent physicians remarked
the other day that he had eleven obstetri'
cal cases in nine days, and all we're doing
we'll, with several wards to hear from.
In the sublime language OF the immortal
J. Cobb Kemple, We hasten to exclaim that

The lntelligencer's version OF
The Dayis-Beach Mill
that came off during the Fair, is calculated
to do DR.. Davis an injustice and place him
in an unenviable light. We have known
the Doctor for many years, and in com.
mon with his many friends here n at
Cameron, unhesitatingly say he is no
"swaggard" or bad man" He holds the
position OF a gentleman, and maintains II,

it tails to lower him the slightest in the es.

who commend and justify his action in
the matter.
Eight OF the laborers employed in the
Webster Wagon Company's lumber yard
