Sheriff Walter Wilson recently sent one hundred dollars to an Ohio dog seller for q pair of blood hounds, and the dogs arrived all right but instead of blood hounds, they seem to be hounds of low de gree. Dog experts declare there is not drop of the blood of blood hound in them.

 You have heard, or read of crys- tai lake ice, but it will not compare with the beautiful blocks of ice turned out by the Monticello Ice Factory, from our pure artesian water. When the people of other cities try the ice manufactured from the water they will have no other. The water from which the Monticello ice is made comes from seven hundred feet below the sur face and is consequently free from all impurities. The factory is now turning out ice at the rate of ten tons per day, and can supply all orders. In connection with ice making the company also has cold storage rooms for meat, vegetables, fruits, &c. In our opinion the ice plant is one of the institutions of the town that our people should be proud of.
