Mcclure Notes Picked up by North.
west man on his Rounds Through
the Town.

This amateur city, located, as most EoKTH-
WEST readers know, on the Narrow Guage
railroad, in Damascus township, wants to be-
come incorporated, and have a Mayor, and
Council, and Marshal, and calaboose and all
the other minor appurtensnces Of an incorpor-
ated village. Other towns of more meagre pro-
portions have been vested with the rights and
privileges of corporation and there is no
good and sufficient reason why Mcclure
should not be granted the coveted luxury of
charter of incorporation.
Mcclure justly boasts of one of the largest
general stores in the county, that of I. W..
Durbin, who carries complete line of dry
goods and notions, groceries and shelf hard
ware; also buys and sells country produce of
all kinds. Under the efficient management
of Messers. Clark and Dick Durbin this store
has built up trade that might be envied by
dealers of larger pretentions.
S. R. Battenfeld, dealer in groceries and
provisions, carries large stock in his line
and enjoys good trade. Sam is a genial
fellow and when you call once you will be
sure to "come again."
j. L. Jillett d Co. are new comers who car
ry large stock of dry goods and notions.
Brooks & Son, dealers in hardware and
farming impliments, are decided credit to
the town.
Mr.. A. johnson, proprietor of the Mcclure
house, is always on the alert for the comfort
of his guests, and won't let them go away
hungry if he has to buy whole butcher shop.
John Peterson has disposed of his saloon
and restaurant to Mr.. John DeLand, formerly
of Sandusky county. Mr.. Peterson left last
week for his old home in Sweden.
The first term of normal school, under
the supervision of Prof. J. T. Hickerson, and
corps of five thorough teachers, commenced
on Monday with an enrolment of 131
students.
The stave factory burned last summer has
been rebuilt and is doing rushing business.

best. So with fruit; select branch, and re-
