full house at Gray last night, though

next morning. You can find him
at Foreman's feed yard, or at the

The building formerly occupied

Workmen were cleaning out the
room when the old papers caught
fire, and it required lively work to
extinguish the flames.
George Nelson, of Ryegatc, Yer

administrator of the estate. He
left on Monday to visit brother at
Omaha.
II. w. Trumbull has sold his
goods and stock at public sale, and
will soon start with his family for

in this purpose.

ing his brother, John Oliver, of

home in Stark county, ILL.,, Tuesday.
He recently lost the greater part of
his property by fire, and thinks of
removing from his present home.
He is well pleased with the present

probably locate here the coming
spring.
II. II. Willis has sold his restau-
rant to Messrs. Traitor & Sprague.
These gentlemen have been in the
employ of Mr.. Bilharz, and have
had long experience in catering to
the public in that line of business.
We understand that they will build
a bake oven and keep full line of
pastry, breads, buns, etc. We wish
them success. With four first class
restaurants and lunch counter in
town the people should not be in
convenienced in this particular.
II. E. Deemer, Esq, of Red Oak,
one of the republican candidates for
District Judge, was in town yester-
day and today in company with
Hon. Joseph Lyman. Mr.. Deemer
is a young man of intelligence in
matters in general, well read and
practlced in his profession, and will
administer the affairs Of the judicial
office to which he aspires in a very
creditable manner. He has visited
many points in the district and finds
republicans working in harmony
and with very encouraging prospects
of victory.
John Frahm has rented his popu.
lar "farmer's home" hotel to Mr.. S.
J. Mccormick, who will take pos.
session at an early day. The
farmers home, under the manage
ment of Mr.. Frahm and his excellent
wife, has been very pleasant home
to many strangers in our town, and
receives the universal praise of its
patrons, Under the new regime
we have no doubt it will be equally
popular. Mr.. and Mrs. McCor-
mick have had experience in this
line, and with an avowed purpose to
make the hotel pleasant and neat,
there is every reason to believe that
they will make it as popular as in
the past.
Charles II. Vail, of Brayton, the
Republican candidate for Clerk of
the Courts, has been visiting among
his many friends through the north
part OF the county this week. Mr..
Vail meets with a warm reception

of a united effort on the part Of re-
pubIicans to elect the entire ticket.
| He is a very strong candidate, being
