Stanton Register: The mill is now
at the foundation and this week will
| probably see it almost ready to let
down into place. The new founda.
| tion is one-fourth heavier than the
old and three feet six inches of it
above ground are of brick. The Rob
inson artificial stone plant has been
temporarily set in operation in the
sheds near the mill and the work of
making the stone for the new engine
! house is well under way. 1t will be
| the first structure in town to be made
of stone and is the BEGINNING of a
more substantial kind of building in
our city. We expect to see many
stone buildings put up in the next five

father, e. r. Wilbur, lives. or that

of days before he can be heard from

trains out of Norfolk.

furs and wOolens or gauze and net
ting is a proposition that cannot be
answered with any degree of certain

weather was quite too warm for com
fort in the forenoon, but by the time
dusk had fallen the wind which had
whipped about to the northwest about
noon, made warm clothing desirable, |
and during the night the thermometer
indicated as low temperature as
forty-nine. This morning opened with |.
chilly breezes and threats of show
ers, but the weather man is in with
the promise that it shall be warm
again by tonight Perhaps there will
be no steady warmth before the
Fourth, and as that is but two weeks
distance it will keep the weather man
on the hustle to deliver the goods by
that time.
