Georges, has lost six cows within
the last few weeks from a disease

Mrs. Enoch Cannon, of Galena,
Kent county, has, through her at

suit against Mr.. jeremiah Peacock,
one of the wealthiest merchants and
real estate owners of Galena for
$4,000 for damages received in
falling in an unprotected cellarway
of Mr.. Peacock's store in May last.
The cellar is entirely ON Mr..
Peacock's private property, though

man naturally adds to the pain OF

appraise property. One failing to
agree was discharged by the sheriff.

toms pride, her villa district, East
Main street.
