WIND GRIsT MILL-Clarence Nettle
ton has commenced the erection of
small grist mill on East Railroad street
which is to be run by a Challenge Vino
Mill.
The continued warm weather has
tendency to break down and enervatt
the human system. Considerable sick
less incident upon 00-degrees-below
zero weather is reported.
Through a defect in the mechanism
of our column rules, we are unable tt
observe the commendable custom of in
verting the same in tribute to our hon
ored dead-General Grant.
r. A. Cole, Merchant Tailor Of Nc.
Cook, for the season of 1856, has JUS
received some Of the incest samples Of
cloths ever manufactured for the trade
Shop first door west of the B. & NJ
Pharmacy.
Arrangements are being made by VIM
Fruin to handle grain, this fall. He
will erect a small elevator if the bust
less warrants it, and will probably as
sociate a gentleman by the lame of Riel
of Illinois with him.
Work was commenced on W. NJ. An
derson's residence, south Of the VI. f.
church, Monday. MI. Anderson is book
keeper for the Chicago Lumber Yard,
and will move his family to McCook as
soon as his home is ready for their re-
ception.
The exterior appearance of Lyle
Bros. hardware store has been very ma
terially improved by a few coats Of fresh
paint. They are also having some at
tractive signs painted on the side and
front of the building. John Eskerson is
the artist.
Preparations are being made to en-
close the Staddleman lots on Main Ave-
u with a barb wire fence. It seems
to US that the party ought to be restrain
ed from building a fence of that nature
right on our main street. 1t will not
only be dangerous, but unsightly.
This paper has repeatedly rebuked
the miserable practice of throwing re-
fuse in the public streets and alleys of
the city. We are at a loss to understand
why anyone will continue in a course
productive of so much discomfort and
one so dangerous and unsightly, in the
face of earnest protest.
The innocent little "type-louse'' has
been a source, never failing, Of
amusement in the printing Office, and of
discontinue to the unsophisticated as
well. The way one of "our girls" was
''taken in" last week, at the Democrat
office is a caution. The unsophisticated
was as warm as two wet hens, fully.
The Methodist brethren have pur-
chased lots Immediately south of the
church upon which they will erect a par
sonage in the near future. The design
will be very like Squire Fishers resi-
dence, without the basement. By the
eye of faith we can see Bro. Wheeler and
we will not anticipate the future.
Our friends up at Hayes Centre are
at logger-heads owe the title to the land
upon which the town is built. County
Judge Sears, in behalf of one party, has
opened up the ball, and unpleasant re-
suits are likely to follow. Better ar
range the matter amicably if possible,
it will be more satisfactory to all, and
less expensive.
The Building Association has dispos-
ed of the residence on Marshall street,
built and owned by them, and until late
" occupied by R. R.. Woods and family,
to 0. Cords, who has been running the
boarding train for a number of months
past. Consideration, $1,000. MIR. Cor
dis also purchased a property in South
