The Courier calls attention To an item
in the Bloomingdale Ledder, concerning
certain "eXtention" tables advertised
by one of the patrons of that paper. In
its same issue, the Courier says, "The

Negotiations have been pending be-
tween the owners of the Paw Paw mill
and Messrs. Wise & Tuckey of Bloom
ingdale, looking in the direction of Il
transfer of that property and its con-
version into n roller mill. The Bloom
ingdale parties are "hustlers," and we
wish they might become the owners of
the property, which in its present state
is of little use TO anybody, but which
might be made very profitable.

cards and circulars, calling the atten-
ton of the public to the many attractive
and desirable features of the house,
lake, grounds, etc.

Our friend Orno Strong, grand prel-
ate of the grand lodge, X. of p, and
editor of the Nashville NelCS, was i'm

trade of Bro. Van FoSSen and launched
