I'ere Marquette Freight House


Iere Marquette Freight House
A small force of men began work on
the new Pere Marquette freight house on
Monday last, laying out the lot, setting
posts and doing certain amount Of grad
ing which was necessary before the
active work of construction commences.
The p, M. carpenter force is just now
completing job at Moseley and expect
to finish thepe this week and come from
there to this city this week. A slight
change has been made in the original
plans and the new building will be placed
little farther to the north tina originally
intended. There will be road on tha
north side of the freight house, instead OF
a track as originally planned. The whole
lower floor 40xl5o will be utilized for
freight storage and the freight office will
be located in the upper story which will
be 5ox40, we'll lighted and in fine shape
for the handling of the large volume OF
freight business transacted IN this city

Needed Cleanup.

Marshal Mitchell and his men have at
last gived their attention to our main
thoroughfare and have succeeded in maxi
ing great Improvement in the appear
anoe of the cutters. This cleanup has
been needed for long time and we don't
see why it cannot be done oftener. Beld-

kept in good condition strangers visiting
our city would have a great deal better

For County Clerk.

The new primary law under which the
nominations are to be made September
4th. places additional responsibilities upon
each individual elector.
We therefore believe it is the duty Of
each, first, to ascertain the qualifications
Of the several candidates who seek nomi-
nation upon their party ballot, and second
to vote for the man best qualified for each
position
The objects Of this law and the benefits
to be derived, if any, are to do away with
the rules, precedents and dictations Of a
