"A copy of the Washburn wis. Regis.
ter, at hand gives an exhaustive report 1T
the Organization OF a new township at
Brentwood, to be named LOOMS, to per.
petuate the name Of w. F. Loomis, the
first merchant and postmaster at Birch
wood. The many friends OF Mr.. and Mrs.
LOOMS here will be pleased to learn
that they are doing we'll in a business
way as we'll as being popular from a so.
cial point of view.
The scarlet fever epidemic out in Car.
Isle seems to be under control and there
is no danger of further spread if the
quarantine is observed. We regret t.
learn OF the death OF a second child of R.
Demarse, boy about - years of age,
last week, of this dread disease. Eph.
Eastman also has little girl who is very
Ill and may not recover; a suspected case
at MIR. Spicer's turned out to be a. false
alarm and everyone is glad to hear it.
Messrs. Ebersol & Tryon, of Marseil.
les. ILL.,. are in the land business. with of
flces at their home city and at toilette.
Mr.. Ebersol was with Warner & Andrus
last season and got pretty we'll acquaint.
ed with the lands and people here and
believes that with himself at toilette and
Mr.. Tryon in Illinois, that they can be.
come the mediums by which land buyers
there and land sellers here, can BE-
brought together. They do not expeo,
to 60 into land or option buying to any
great extent on their own account. blu,
by their acquaintance with the people Of
both localities, bring customers for lands
listed tor sale with them. The option
business has not been any too satisfact
DRY to many, and there are many people
who would sell if they could get the Gus
toner, but do not care to tie themselve.
up with a contract. We hope the nev
nrm Will be successful in bringing ir
many substantial farmers from Illinois.
An anonymous communication come.
to US through the mail, complaining tina
Notwithstanding the excellent financia
| W s'AS lily, "AlSA VIC commented
on last week, that sometimes the write
OF the letter is tripped up by a loos,
board in the sidewalk. Because SOM
other people may make the same erro
as Citizen" we will just say that "Citi
zen" is off his trolley. Ifevery board il
every sidewalk in the city was loose,
would cut no figure with the financia
statement whatever, as under the ord
nances of the city and the statutes of til
state, sidewalks, except for minor re
pairs, are at the expense of the lot owr
ers, and the city has no right to build
foot OF sidewalk, except that the cost b
charged up to the lots, and collected b
the county treasurer. Ifany citizen doe
know of any specially defective s,dewal
and will report the same to the mavo
/ or the city council, we believe the con
munication will have much better e
feet than to write anonymous letters
the paper.
