Swarts & Halstead have opened their
kiln of brick and exhibited samples to
the citizens. We were favored with a
trip to the yards by Mr.. Halstead and
made close examination of them and
we found the brick are of a fine tex

quality. They intend to manufacture
| brick for shipment the coming season,
and the Rock Island have indicated

| that artesian water could be found
which is doubtful. The surest way is
| the best.
