Interspersed with serious thoughts were
pleasant sallies, such as, for instance, his
advice to married men: $50 home and

one of the most active business men OF

vorable prospect for securing rolling
and nail mill at Wellston= Some sew
enty-five lots yet remain to be sold.
Well, if Jackson keeps on growing,
we will have to have nail mill some
where out in the suburbs, to supply our
mechanics with nails. But seriously, we
hope Wellston will get her rolling mill.

theprettiest specimen of owl ever brought
to town. 1t is large, with snow-white

would make most beautiful ornament.

son has made in the way ef fire depart
ment. But a few years ago there was
nothing but the old hand-pump, when we
had fierce-looking lot of firemen in red
flannel jackets and straw hats. The only
thing the whole business was fit for was
to turn out at Fourth-of-July professions
and on gala days, and drag the old pump
around town, decorated with ribbons.
Now we have a splendid steamer, in
splendid hands. There is not more at
tentive engineer anywhere than Jos. An

splendid condition by Capt. Harding and
company.
