We are reliably informed that a
building association is being formed
in this village, the object of which
is to build houses for those wanting
them, and allowing parties to pay for
the same in installments. These as
sociations exist in great many of our
larger cites, and are found to be help
and benefit to every town where they
exist. We hope to see this one flourish,
as it is a worthy object. We will be
able to give further particulars in the
near future.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway, ever alive to the wants and

sleeping cars on this line between
these points. For full particulars in

Sank Centre Herald: While exca-
waiting with a boring machine on
lands of DR.. @. G. Warren at Grove
Lake, S. l.. Lockwood struck six
inch vein of anthracite coal at depth
of thirty-tWo feet, specimens of the
coal indicate that It is of excellent
quality, but the vein is too thin to be
of practical value. A few feet below
q stratum of soft coal, or Ignite, was
encountered, but it's thickness could
not be ascertained. While deposits
of coal are not unfrequently met with
in this vicinity it is very questionable
whether any of practical value will
ever be discovered.
