farm on First avenue. He has been
looking at ground on 18th avenue with
view of going into general store bust.
ness He has nc idea whatever of leav.
ing Estelle. 1t is our opinion that 18th
avenue will make an excellent locality
for q general store, as there are 5000
more acres to be placed on the market
on the East side of the Railroad, and
the land all below Estelle which goes in
the Milmay tract will be close by.

ported most of the lumber on the
ground, foundation, flooring and joists
all ready, steel roofing on the ground
and expect to raise the frame Thursday,
March 5th, if favorable.
We wish to call attention OF all pro-
perty owners of Estelle that the sixty
residents on this tract have shouldered
most OF this burden, and have got this
place into shape, erected church build
ing, and fighting the battles in general,
thereby making it far more desirable
place, relieving many of the discomforts
which attend the settlement OF a new
place.
We would say to all those who have
not contributed towards this church
building we will be glad to receive their

The affairs of this colony are in a
prosperous condition. Mr.. McQuaid

house are nearly completed.

is about to build a livery stable. 1t is
stated he will close his connection with

40 much. 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Moore is a very busy man. We often
wonder how he attends to SO many
duties, but being q man of large execu-
tive ability he has succeeded in handling
them in good shape. He will be pre-
pared to receive all people who come to
stay at his Hotel, and if it is not large
enough he will build an addition.

Foster, of Norwalk, Conn.,, were down

home, and Judging from the enterprise
they displayed, and the interest they
took in the place they will be successful
to the full extent of their expectations,
which is to have Colony of so or go
people who will settle this Spring. We
welcome them, and they will prove a
valuable addition to our little town.
