Somebody could do well with a restau-
rant at this place, the train gets here at
twelve o'clock, and nearly always stays
long enough for the passengers to get off
and get them lunch.
A cry of fire was raised last Thursday
morning, and on going to the scene, we
found Chas. Shelby's blacksmith shop on
fire, but the fire was soon stopped and
the damages will not amount to more
than twenty-five or thirty dollars.
The mystery has faded away since we
read the correspondence from Needmore.
We had been hearing strange sounds
every morning over towards the church
and was about to believe there were
ghosts in the land, but now we know
that it must be Rufus calling Mr.. BIS
Hogs.
Henry Harmed, the well known citizen
of this place, has recently concluded to
divide 10 acres of land, lying on the
North side of town, into village lots of
62lxl3Ol feet, and he is giving them to
any one who will bind himself to build
house, regardless of value, within
twelve months. The only restrictions
that are placed upon the builder, is that
he must do at least $500 worth of work
each month for the first five months, and
must complete the house, within twelve
months. Quite a number of these lots
have been taken up by parties of the
neighboring villages. But several re-
main yet which has not been taken up.
We think it would be good investment
for those desiring to invest money in
that way, for houses to rent are in good
demand. We compliment and congrat-
ulate Mr.. Harmed for his generosity, for
he knows what he is doing.
