The drug store Of II. L. McNitt
& Co. has been moved to new quar-
ters in Andy. Thronsons building,
Northup block.
We have sent out quite q large
number Of bills this week to our
delinquent subscribers. and we hope
we may receive good returns as we
are much in need of money.
Mr.. II. H. GUNNER, Newton
Brook, York Co., Ontario, Canada,
states, that he suffered with a pain
full sore on his right anklejust after
recovering from typhoid fever, and
that, by a few external applications
of st. Jacobs Oil,the great p~ain-cure,
the lump softened and gradually
disappeared. Try it.
One day last week along with a
companion, we started across the
bottom with an object to both bust
ness and pleasure. As we drove over
the low lands, the prospective assu-
med supremacy in our minds and
we spent the greater part of the time
until we reached the Brule in dis
cussing the future in wait for these
vast, low and extremely rich Missou-
ri bottoms, the effect drainage would
have upon them and the large in
grouse Of population to our county,
were each homestead thereon, be-
tween the Clay county line and the
Big Sioux river, occupied by u fam
lily, and providing that family was
industrious and enterprising, the
immense amount of wealth that
would each year accumulate off the
bottom land when under a proper
state Of cultivation. Then reverting
to the retrospective and the real we
endeavored to estimate the vast
quantity of hay that had grown and
gone for naught upon the few square
miles in view and the thousands of
tons of hay now standing in stack in
any direction the eye may turn.
After crossing the Brule, the higher
as they begin their ascent to
the bluffs, presented a more genial
appearance as cultivated fields be-
came more frequent and improve
ments more numerous, each increase
Of prosperity and growth increasing
our admiration and estimate OF our
county, until VIC reached Richland,
where we noticed quite a number of
neat, new houses erected since our
last visit and adding largely to tie
neat and handsome appearance Of
the little city. Our original fellow
townsmar, Mr.. Crumrine, has on
the main street completed quite a
and tasteful store room and

next stop was at the Centennial
owned and operated by L. N.
Grill d Co. Upon entering the mill
for the first time) we were absolute
y astonished at the extent and ap-
oearance of the machinery and the
apparent work being accomplished.
We e prepared to look once more
lp.,n the country water mill of our
,oyhood, where the old men of our
community carried their grists on
he back OF a horse and stayed half
day before they could carry it
rome; but on the contrary, we saw
mill as complete as the most ad-
nired OF the great institutions of
minneapolis, but of course, not SO
extensive. On looking over the ma
.hinery, which consists entirely of
he roller process, and bears the
lamp Of the best manufactures Of
