THE Prior House is now complete,
the addition having been under process
Of construction since last October. Its
proprietor has taken his time and the re-
suit is thai he has everything as he wants
it. This popular hostalrie is now 40x75
feet ground dimensions, two stories high,
and is Handsomely finished inside and
out. In the new part, not the least no-
ticible improvement 10 the elegant dining
room in which fifty persons can be ac-
commodated at one sitting. This Is well
aired, ventilated and lighted and is ele-
gantly finished in ash and walnut--the
paneling being handsomely grained. II

adapted to the purpose for which it is de-
signed. Next TO 1t south is sample
room that is dandy in every respect. II

ed TO the wall and can be Let down or

not surpassed for convenience on the
line of this road. The capacity Of the
hotel is now az great, isnot greater than
that of any other house in the county,
having about 20 beds for the sccommoda-
tion Of guests, in pleasant and cheerful
rooms. The office is large and roomy
and 10 handsomely painted and grained,
making i'll decidedly pleasant place for
guests TO lounge IN, while a nice wash
room is easily reached ut the west end OF
the office.
In addition to the many sterling quail
ties Of the internal arrangements Of the
building there Is fine well of water and
three hundred barrel cistern, which
latter supplies all demands for soft water
in the house including the bath rooms.
During the past year the house has en-
joyed an excellent patronage and for past
month over seventy-fve guests have
stuck their toes under the tables at each
meal-an evidence Of the popularity OF
the house that must be decidedly crafty
ing to its genial proprietor.

had grown too .arge forthe house he COM

Quite number Of our readers have
inquired With reference TO the settlement

10 be done. The law provides that Mar
shall county shall assume her part of the
Indebtedness Of Day in exact proportion
as her assessed valuation for 1884 bears
to the whole assessed valuation of Day
county as il WAS up to the date of the pas
sago of the act That is, If the assessed
valuation Of that part Of Day now com.
prising the county Of Marshall, was one
third Of tile assessed valuation Of the
whole Of Day before division, ss shown
by the assessment rolls Of 1884, then tie
amount to be paid by the new county up
TO the date Of the act would be one third
OF the whole debt, at that date. The
basis OF the settlement 10 on the valua-
ton Of 1884, and the duties Of the boards
of the two counties is simply ministerial,
the law plainly defining just how the set
Element Is to be made, and gives no
chance for either county to take advant-
age of the other in the settlement. The
following is the section ofthe law relating
to this matter:

Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1885-12-10
Grants Plan after Vicksburg.

In his article on the battle OF Chatta-
nooga, IN the November Century, Gen
eral Grant says: After the fail of
Ticks0urg urged strongly upon the
Government the proprcty of IL move
ment against Mobile General Rose
Grams had been at Murfrecsboro', Ten
nessee, with large and well-equpped
army from early in the year 1868, with
Bragg confronting him, with force
quite equal 10 his own nj first, consid-
ering it was on the defensive. But af-
ter the Investment of Eicksburg.
Bragg's army was largely depleted to
strengthen Johnston, in Mississippi,
who was being reinforced to raise the
siege. frequently wrote to General
Halleck suggesting that Rosecrans
should move against Bragg. BY so
doing he would either detain the lat
ter troops, or lay Chattanooga open
to capture. General Hallcck strongly
approved the suggestion, and finally
wrote me that he had repeatedly or
dered Rosecrans to advance, but that
the latter had constantly failed to COM
ply with the order, and at last, after
having held Il council of war, replied,
III effect, that it was a military maxim
not 10 fight two decisive battles at the
same time. If true, the maxim was
not applicable in this case. 1T would
be bad to DC defeated in two decisive
battles fought the same day, but it
would not be bad TO win them. /, how
ever, was lighting no battle, and the
siege of Vicksburg had drawn from
Rosccran' s front so many of the enemy
that his chances OF victory were much
greater than they would be il he waited
until the siege was over, when these
troops could be returned. Rosecrans
was ordered to move against the army
that WAS detaching troops to raise the
siege. Finally he did move on the 24th
OF June, but ten days aftcrward Vicks-
burg surrendered, and the troops sent
from Bragg We're free 10 return. Ii
was al THIS time that | recommended
to the gcnerai-in-chief the movement
against Mobile. knew the peril tn
Army of the Cumberland was in, being
depicted continually not only by orui-
nary casualties, but also by having 10
detach troops TO hold its constantly ex-
tending line over which 10 draw sup
| pics, while the enemy in front was as
| constantly being strengthened. Mo-
bile was important to the enemy, and,
in the absence OF threatening force.
was guarded by little else than artIl-
lery. Ii threatened by land and from
| the water at the same time, the prize
would fall easily, or troops would have
to be sent to its dctcnse Those troops
would necessarily come from Bragg.
My judgment WAS oEerruied, Iow-
ever, and the troops under my COM
mand were dissipated over other parts
of the country where it was thought
they could render the most service
