REX" last week, gave such a de-
tailed account of the various changes
and new enterprises going on here that
there is not much new to record.
The wintry weather of last week put
a quietus on outdoor work, and trade
has been sluggish. Nature must soon
quit this sort of humor or our farmers
will be on the ragged edge of despair.
Ice half an inch to an inch thick, fol-
lowed by several days of regular ssbliz-
Yards at this late season of the year,
have anything but an exhiliarating eff
feet. Spring, however, again asserts
herself at the opening of the present
week and the various enterprises of the
village are booming ahead.
Squads of workmen are busy on the
"Muntz'' and .'Govier' buildings. Dea-
con Wright is delayed somewhat in the
erection OF his residence. His son, who
is to do the carpenter work. has had a
very sick child which prevented his
leaving home. J. A. Farnham is at
work on the foundation of his new house
and proposes having residence which,
when completed, will be credit to him
self and the village. c. V. Billig, Esq.
is putting the finishing touches to his
tasty new residence, and comfortably
settled in it. Rogers & Bailey" who
lately bought Vedder out, have the Fem
nImore Hotel in successful operation.
Under Vedder's management it ac-
quired first-rate reputation. 1t is newly
fitted up, and viii doubtless sustain and
grow in public favor.
Vedder and his family have made
many warm friends in this community,
who regret to see them leave. He IS
now on brief visit to the Hurricane"
his old home, and will shortly depart
for his new farm home in Coddington
county, OAK.
DIR. Jacob Wolff has sold out his resi-
dence and practice to DR.. T. McDer-
mott who takes possession of the prac-
tice Immediately. DR.. Wolff will locate
in Milwaukee for the practice of his
profession.
The U. b. people are breaking
ground for their new church building
on Main street, north of the depot. 1t
is the design to have it ready for SER
vices at the next quarterly meeting.
which has been set for this place.
Query: Why doesn't some enterpris-
ing party start brick-yard here? Good
material is in abundance and convent
ent, and doubtless brick would be used
where wood now is, if they could be had
when wanted. 1t would lower insurance
rates and add to the substantial appear
ance of the village to build with such
material instead of frame.
John Walters, Dell Bliss and M. ST.
nous were in town Monday as a COM
mission to and it claims against the
Jer. Smith estate.
AT invitation of the G. A. Il. Post,
Rev. Phelps will conduct the ante-dec-
Grafton day memorial services at the M.
E. Church on Sunday forenoon. May
oath. Old soldiers will attend in a BODY
and every one is invited to participate.
l.. A. Powers has brought his house
hold effects over from Bloomington and
will reside here. He will make a SUBJ
stantial acquisition to our village. -
