It's a remarkable fact that near
ly every wagon that has come to
town during the past few weeks has
hauled away a barrel of -four, and
sometimes two. What more forci-
bic proof is necessary to convince
our people of the necessity and inn
portance of a Touring mill in our
midst? Such an enterprise is alb
solutely necessary to encourage the
production Of enough wheat in this
county for us to live at home, and
its benefits would be widely felt
within a year after its establish
ment.
The Steamer Clyde, of the st.
Louis and Tennessee River Packet
Company, which sunk week before
last at the foot Of Rockport Island,
is now being raised and will soon
be in commission. The Clyde is a
strong boat, but she sprung a leak
while crossing a low water reef be-
low Rockport, and now lies in IA
feet Of water on the starboard port
400 yards above where she struck.
The freight, consisting Of 40 bales
of cotton, 4 carloads Of lumber,
1900 sacks of cotton-seed and other
miscellaneous matter, will be saved.
To give some idea of the money
, that can be made on apparently a
very small business, we give two in
stances that have recently come to
our notice. One man, with small
means, has sold and delivered $500
/ worth of stove-wood at this place
the past year, during spare time
{ from regular farm work, with which

A Probable Railroad Move.
The people who reside in the vicinity of
Twenty-fourth avenue and East Four
teenth street are considerably nystified by
recent movements in real estate in that
section. Henry Root has been making ex-
tensive purchases of land OF late, presum-
ably in the interest of the railroad CON-
pany.
Certain other purchases and negotia-
lions have been made by j. B. Tacott,
which appear to have been for the purpose
of opening Twenty-fOurth avenue in a
straight line from East Fourteenth street
to the old county road.
