the Great Western in Oakes, has
decided to ''ge it alone" and will
open business in this city about
April list with a fine stock of cloth
ing, boots and shoes and gents fur
nishing goods. Mr.. Shutter is good
business man and understanding the
needs of the trade. will certainly do
his share of the business,
Messrs. Musser & Bittman, pro-
prletors of the Great Western in
this city, will soon dissolve partner

the Oakes Roller Mills, met with a
painful accident at the mill last Fri

some of the fingers of his right
hand were caught in the rollers,
crushing the third and fourth FIN
gers as far as the first joint, and
necessitating the amputation of the
little finger at the first joint, which
was performed by DR.. Boardman.
We are glad to state that Mr.. Slaw-
son will be able to "hold the fort
at the nill, after his injuries heal,
and that the consequences are not
as serious as if the accident had
been to his left hand.
We would impress upon our busi-

paper. In the first place it indicates
stability. It is the cheapest way tc
advertise, being equal to a thousand
or more circulars sent out weekly

the paper abroad will estimate The
character and enterprise Of our bus,

Newcomers will look through th,
