The contract for building the wings
to the court for additional vault room
and for jury rooms has been let by the
board of supervisors to Martin John
son. The vault material will be furn-
ished by St. Louis firm. This vault
room is a necessity for the safety of
the records to the real property of the
people. The jury rooms though not
so much necessity as the vaults, will
yet be a great convenience to the
courts and a comfort to the jurors.
Mr.. David Amundson who has been
in tho merchant tailoring business in
Cresco for over twenty years and for
the past five years over the Caward
Grocery store, carries the largest
stock of fine cloths in the county,
employs more workmen than any
other similar concern in the county,
and makes suits which give universal
satisfaction in price, quality, and fit.
Parties wanting fine suits for the holi-
days would do we'll to examine his
goods and learn the prices.
The croakers who are constantly
declaring that you can't raise apples
in this county should look at the fine
fruit on the old Oakley homestead now
owned by Mrs. Nolkmann and her son,
on the farm of Amel Bigalk and others.
An abundance of trees can be had,
grown here in the county, as hardy as
our native burr oak; the only vicissi-
tudes to crop of apples being a late
frost killing the blossoms occasionally.
Apples can't be grown by those who
have no trees put out nor by those
who attempt to grow their apples and
raise their beef on the some trees.
Prof. John Thaler completed his
course of lessons in music here last
Friday and will not return till some
time in September, when due notice
will be given. He is first class in
structor on violin and cornet and has
our unqualified endorsement. When
he takes up his work again, he de-.
serves large class, for aside from
his merit as an instructor, he has all
the time been a patron of our mer.
chants, spending nearly all his Cresco
revenue among the stores here, much
in contrast to the grab-all and keei
policy of some of the musical instruct
urs who have been with us.
