A RpautiruI I;irG.

There was "a thing of beau ty'' al
the Express office last Wednesday.
1t was a gobbler. We did not learn
the variety, but it was certainly one
of fine breed and the handsOmest
one of its kind. 1t had b .eu shipped
to Miss Amy Warfield, who is
making her young ladyhOod useful
by raising and selling these beautiful
and toOthsome birds. We were glad
to learn that Miss Amy was meeting
with the success such domestic in
dustry in young Lady deserves. a
friend tells us she has already made
over $50 this season, at this pleasant

Is it Talk, Or do They Mean Business!
1t is currently reported that CO.
lumbis is to have a new, elegant and
commOdiOus hotel. A gentleman,
who we suspect is one of the prime
movers, tell us that it will be a four
story building, with stores under
meath and one hundred aid fifty
rooms in the hotel proper. a
special bid will be made for the drum
mers trade, and the gentlemen's
parlor and writing room will be as
attractive as the ladies parlors. On
each of the four stories there will be
bath rooms and water closets, and
passenger elevators will run from the
office to the top floor. 1t is to be built
by a stock company, and we are in
formed that more than half the stock
has been subscribed. But for some
reason we are unable to explain, the
most profound secrecy is enjoined.
Are they waiting to get a 'cinch"
on certain piece of property? Do
they mean business, or is it all talk

During the past few months Mr..
John Fitz has built a number of grain
drills at his foundry in this city, and
placed them with the farmers Of the
county, who will give them thorough
trial and, if satisfactory, which all re-
turns 50 far say are, then the demand
for these drills next season will be
large. Mr.. Fitz informs US that he is
now constructing several circular saw
mills, and has orders ahead that will
give employment to his hands the re-
mainder of this Year.
