Twenty-seven Masons from this village

tins large coach, which he recently
purchased of Mr.. Patte9, and others in

Mr.. Terril has been making out a list of
the new houses which have been erected in
this village since April, 1891, and he finds
that forty-seven have been built. D. ID.
Owen has built eight of these, Mr.. Valley
two, Mr.. Cassiday two and Mr.. keat1n
two. In addition to these, may be added
the tub shop, the Peerless factory, Barron
& Hamblet's block, Tower Bros. block,
Hotel Barton, Geo. FL. Davis block, and
the passenger depot. This shows a very
healthy growth for the village and there is
every prospect of its continuing, as at the
present time it is about impossible to find
a good tenement here to rent.
The auction sale of tickets for the lecture
course will be held at Sewers hall Tuesday
evening, Nov. IA. The expense of this
course is to be greater than any previous
course and the financial success will depend
greatly on the amount of money taken at
this time. Get your seat at this time and
it will save you time and trouble, the cost
to you will really be small while the total
amount will be of great benefit to the
association, and you will have just the seat
you want through the whole course. Such
course of entertainments as we are to
have this winter is very high recommen-
dation for the village and it should receive
hearty support.
