LINDEN NEWS.

lur Editor. Linden is about TO
lose another of her substantial bus
mess men. Mr.. John Vivian who
has carried on the business Of cab
inct-maker and carpenter for several
years past, has concluded to rem I'VE
his business TO point somewhere
in the northern part of Michigan.
We would regret the losing of Mr..
Vivian from our midst, and especi-
ally this important branch of bust
ness.
We are pleased to learn that Mr..
Marshall Sands has from sixty to
seventy thousand cabbage and toma-
10 plants, which he will commence
disposing of in few weeks TO the
people of Linden and surrounding
towns. Mr.. Sands will sell his
plants cheap, and since we are con-
adent that they are of the best vari-
etieS, none will have reason to re-
gret having patronized him.
While other towns are distinguish
ing themselves by the amount of
sidewalk they can build in year,
Linden remains perfectly passive on
the question. We have but little
sidewalk and the recent rain makes
the going very unpleasant The
time and money spent each year in
throwing loose dirt on the roads,
4 which washes off with the next
rain, would soon macadamize our
principal street and furnish eonsid-
erable sidewalk
Mr.. VIM. Rowe, who has spent
the past year in lshpemihg, Mich,
returned on Friday last for "A short
visit with friends and relatives. He
gives n very encouraging account Of
the times there, plenty work and
good pay
Under the management of Mr..
Chas. Springer az foreman, the cigar
factory of Mr.. Mallory is in a flour
ishing condition. More commodi-
Gus rooms have lately been occupied
and two new hands added to the
force. Mr. Mallory is making prep
aration for the planting of a more
extensive crop of tobacco than in
former years
Miss Mary Cox, who has been Wis
iting friends in this village for the
past few days, returned TO her home
in Mineral Point, on Friday,
The following is the method
horse-buyer has of obtaining his
"benzine" when in Linden: Driv-
ing up TO the hotel he discovers the
landlord absent, calls the boy who
is left to tend bar, 20 take care Of
his team, while Mr.. Jockey enters,
regales himself with the best liquors
at the same time offering TO treat
the crowd, and then driving off with
out settling the little bill
The Henry bank failure creates
but little excitement in our village,
since no one here, az far as we have
been able to ascertain, had any de-
posits there at the time of the as
signment.
The irregularity Of the mails dur
ing the past two years, lead many of
our citizens 10 express themselves
rather freely as to the superiority of
the old system over the new. On
account Of some irregularity at one
of the railroad stations, on Saturday,
the county papers that should have
reached us at noon, did not arrive
till nine in the evening Had not
our mail agent consented to make a
second trip, our papers would not
have reached here till Monday noon.
We do moi speak Of this because
there has been any damage incurred
by this delay, but since our mails
are tardy enough when they come
direct, ii makes considerable differ
ence to have them delayed a day
longer.
Posters are out bearing the in
/ formation that the school board will,
May Sd, sell az public auction the
old school house and the site on
which it stands. S. ID.
