The Hoyle musical entertainment
at the hail last Wednesday eve was lis
tened to by very large and apprecia-
tive audience. Never have the receipts
been SO large for any kind of concert
and seldom have the managers secul ed

ciated. The managers thank the public
for ther liberal patronage and hope to
be able to secure more high-class COM
panies.
The Eastman Lumber Co. will estab-
lish first class lumber yard at this
place. They already have several cars
of lumber on track here and more to
follow at once. 1t will be located on
the B. G. r. & n. The company is a
strong one with capital stock of $780,
600, and many years of experience, and
will be in position to serve the people
of this vicinity to as good advantage as
any yard in this part of the state. We
are not advised as yet as to who will be
put in as manager, but no doubt they
will have first class man. We truly
welcome the company to the business
circle of the town and wish them I'M
bounded success.

The feed mill now has to run three
days week to keep up with the de-
mand.
Castalia is bound to grow. Her citi-
zens fully believe it. Her business
men are alive to every public interest
and their stores and stocks would be
csedit to towns much larger. With the
progress made the past two years and
the prospects for much building this
season she is one of the live towns and
is going to remain so. The country
tributary to us justifies a larger aud
better market. With our new lumber
yard we now have all kinds of business
represented. There is nothing farmer
wants to buy or has to sell that he cam
not find here at as good prices as any
where. Still there are some things the
town needs and we hope to see supplied
this season. Among them are more
mechanics and carpenters, harness
shop, bank, good hotel, new Milwaukee
depot, lawyer, doctor, photographer,
painters and decorators, dentist etc.
These are most all necessities mot lux
uries) that are absolutely needed here,

did openings. Rents are very low, al
though houses to rent are extremely
scarce. We have good schools, good
churches, best ofrailway facilities, high
location, healthful and pleasant. We
don't want a boom-only steady
growth. Who will be the first to
apply?
Mr.. Geo. Allen and a number of other
leading citizens have taken the matter
of incorporation up and the prospects
are that the town will ere long be
city. Already about thirty names of
voters in town have been secured to
petition and considerable money raised
to get it started. Atty. +. 7. Johnson
of DEBORAH has the matter in hand and
it will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
When the proper time arrives every
citizen will have chance to cast his
ballot either for or against. In the
mean time II will probably be discussed
