ana prosperity, is the best evidence of
her ability TO please the public. Getting
around to the center of trade. we found
Mr. Hunt and clerks as busy as ever. but
we take time to look around and invest
igate. II Isnot outcf the way to remark
MIR. Hunt is one of the most thorough
and practical business men in the
country. raised in town. bred to the
business of the merchant, we'll acouaint-
ed with the demands of the country. he
has built up a trade 10 the old SUPER
anuated village OF POtosi, that is a
surprise to all travelling men on the road,
and himself as well. In a word his
trade is immence and yearly increasing,
1t would be useless for me to enumerate
bis stock for il embraces everything the
country demands, from baby shoe TO
an old mans tile. What you seek in
other establishments you can always
lind at Hunts. Mr.. Hunt last week
bought out G. A. Yoelker's dry goods
store in Dubuque, and shipped all the
goods to some interior poin; in Iowa,
where they will be disposed of at auc-
ton. He is hustler.
The Potosi stage and livery business
is under the charge of Horace Hvmer.
He has fine line of comfortable cover
ed spring coaches, that make daily trips
from Lancaster to Potosi. and from the
latter place connects with the Chicago
Burlington and Northern railroad.
Travelling men are furnished with the
best of teams, good drivers and easy
riding buggies. Horace is very popular
with the travelling public and his prices
are the lowest Another popular livery
is that of Barney Dougerty. at the stone
stable on main street. Barney's stock
is not large but his turnouts and horses
are of the first class quality and he
conveys patrons with comfort, safety
end celebrity. Barney keeps one of the
tidest, best regulated 2stables in the
country. II he manages to keep out of
the mud aud draws a tight line on his
Sunday trips he'll make his mark in the
world.
Among the notable business houses
we must not omit the stove store and
hardware establishment of G. Kalten-
bach. Mr.. X. is an old timer of 40

to his present position by unremitted
industry and fair dealings, he carries
little of severy thing in his line. and is
evidently still holding his own with the
trade.
Among other prosperous business
places | can only summary mention
them: Kindrick & Walenhurst, carry
large stock of lumber at Van Buren,.
Frank Beinert the wagon maker, who
is first class mechanic. turns out
every thing of the best quality in the
vehicle line. Fure and Schaeffer. black
smiths is new firm with familiar
name at the head. Thelboys are doing
well, and have good country custom,
and we bespeak them imore. Geo.
Smith undertaken aud dealer in furni-
ture has complete stock and success
full trade Joseph Gross, boot and shoe
maker, veteran of the late war. scholar
and gentleman, is one of the old land
marks of the town. we found him at
his old post, genial as ever A. frankie,
merchant tailor, still handles the goose
and needle at his old quarters, though
he has had touch of the grip lately he
is still able to give his customers fits.
On the other side of the way Joseph
Gunther runs boot and shoe shop,
where for nearly thirty years he has
pursued the amending of soles. and
vamping uppers. We pass over the
elegant new town hall and beautiful
church for more convenient season
BRIEFLY mentioning that the former has
been recently furnished with the finest
set of scenery and fixtures in the west,
and the latter contemplates putting in
their new elegant Antique oak seats.
now being manufactured at Manitowoc,
near the close of the month.
In writing up Potos one feels like
the Queen of Sheba-the onehalf has
not been told. There are the entertain
ments, the sociables, the mining inter-
ests, the vita culture and Potsners
Apiary and multitude of other things
thai require an extended notice. When
the mud dries up and we can move our
cart again, we will report further.
