Kirwin marked ''B BIZ (beiOre break
fast) whose maltiferOus flavor and effer-
vesc.ng flow are standing "reminiscences
of beer.
Owing to an excess of legal matter
this week we are compelled to crowd
out some correspondence and consider
able local news of interest; also to issue
supplement-.
Still the improvements are gong on.
DR. Houck is making valuable additions
TO his already fine residence, and the
senior editor of the HERALD is adding
a new porch and bay window to his
house.
Joseph D. Bonar. Esq, has purchased
the Perry Clark farm about two miles
northeast of town, paying 81 800 for it.
Mr.. BOnar also expects to purchase
some town property here and make his
home among us. We are glad TO vel
come such men.
Messrs. Cole 6 Myers have leased the
u
year. They intend to run the Institution
on business principles, and will pay the
highest market price for cream. An
Institution of this kind is a good thing
in a community and we hope that these
gentlemen will receive the patronage
that they deserve. All parties desiring
cans may procure them at Sprague's.
Messrs. D. L. Smith, Frank Strain,
j. w. Lowe and Ritner Smith went to
Crow last Wednesday evening TO assist
Ia organizing a G. A. r. Post at that
place. They report having a splendid
time. There were about % charter
members. Ritner Smith and Frank
Strain took pot luck with Isaac DiXsOn,
while j. w. Lowe and D. L. Smith
beaned at Mr.. Bogenrief's. The boys
were nicely entertained.
The fruit tree vendors have been do
ing q lively business here for the last
few days in delivering their large and
numerous orders, Our farne 8 are
rapidly awakening to the Importance Of
fruit growing, and more trees have been
Delivered here this spring than ever be-
fore in one season. In Justice to the
uurserymen, we must say that the stock
is generally thrifty and in good con-
ditiOn.
Among the solid farmers of our coun-
ty Is Mr.. @. r. Chism, who owns fine
farm on Deer creek about four miles
southeast of this place. He IS making
some valuable improvements, such as
putting up paStu fence dividing his
place into fields, building extensive corn
cribs and wagon houses, etc. He says
u is cheaper TO put up pasture fences
than to hire a man TO herd stock, all of
which we believe to be true. A conven-
iently arranged farm saves One-half the
labor Mr.. Chism favored US with a
few moments call the other morning.
The comparatively new law firm of
Davis and Spaulding has been doing a
splendid business ever since the cO-part-
nership was formed. Mr. Davis, the
senior member of the firm, is we'll
known in this county as an old practit-
Toner, and he has many friends who re-
" implicitly upon his legal ability. Mr.
SpaUlding, although a young attorney,
has had much experience in the kinks
and quirks of law, gained from his pO-
sition as clerk of the district court for
two terms. Both together make q
strong team, and we are glad to see
that they are getting good business.
AS considerable horse stealing has

state, it has been suggested that a sher-

the 18th of May, consisting of all the
shpriffs west of the Sixth Principal Me-
ridian, and one tier of counties east.
Sheriff McGrath, of Mitchell county,
seems to be the starter of the move
rnent, and our sheriff, Mr.. j B. Woods,
IS in full sympathy with it and Suggests
Beloit as the proper place for the con-
VentiOn,
