On Saturday last, Jno, Berg q CO.
sold the old store building at corner of
s. Main and Wayne SITS, now occupied
by Orin Phillips as grocery, for $1,000,
to Jacob Boos, and Jake got the money
from the Plate Glass Co. for his half inter

sand from the Plate Glass Works has been
running down into the dam until it is al
most ruined, and will have to be removed.
Blackmore and Grieb have rented the
Stein Building now occupied by Boos, and
as the room they are in is too small for
