BUILDING BEGUN.

With the near approach of the rail
road several parties have begun the
erection of buildings here. On Har-
risOn avenue five are already under
way, while there are two or three
others that will be started Just as
soon as the material can be procured.
On this street Sawyer & Powell have
one large building nearly under cover,
and propose to build another by its
side. South of them on the same side
of the street the Ward Brothers have
the material on the ground and franz
ing begun on a large two story store
and office building.
Between Second and Fourth streets
NJ. B. jerks has store building about
enclosed; and Mckenzie & Co., have
the material on the ground to begin
store building. Between First and
Second street DR. Rozier is erecting 4

side of First street the Novelty Works
are putting up temporary shop, half

q. & G. NJ. Chandlee will soon begin
the erection of an Office building ad-
joining the printing Office on the

This is but beginning. Within a
month there will be numerous other
buildings started, plans for which are
already being made. The next three

ChipoIa River Improvement.
ID. ID. ID.

The Mariana Times-C Courier has
the following relative to the eXami-
nation by the [. S. Engineer Depart
ment, of the ChipOla river, to ascer-
tain its possibilities as a means of
transportation, and as to the removal
of bridges that are now distractions
to its navigation. The Board of
Trade of Mariana has had this mat
ter up with the authorities and has
very quickly secured an examination.
We do not regret the success of our
neighbOrs in securing prompt atten-
tention to the matter of improving
the Chipola river, but the question
naturally arises why the Government
gives such minor matter such i'm
mediate attention and neglects st. An
drews Bay, with its vast tributary
country clamOring for its improve
ment.
"Capt. IL. b. Ferguson of the en-
gineering corps and his secretary,
Mr.. Chas F.. Baker, together with a
number of our invited citizens, made
trip down the Chipola river last
week on the launch, MarigOld, and
all report plenty of fish and a most
delightful time. Capt. Ferguson
was sent to inspect bridges across the
river which, as they now stand, are
an obstruction to navigation. The
Capt. sees no reason why the river
should not be improved and made
navigable for boats of such capacity
as would be of great benefit to the
entire section between this point and
the sea. Our representative in con-
gresS will no doubt secure for this
purpose a good appropriation"

We clip the following from the
Wausau correspondence of the Chip
ley Banner:
We are informed that the b. c. x
St. \. railroad has the track laid to
within A quarter of a mile of Joadan's
mill on Pine Log. Their tents are
pitched south of Sedan, and work
is progressing rather slow.
We are informed that Elder Thorn
as Brock, who lived three miles from
here, died on March 22nd after a
protracted illness. Uncle Thomas,
as we all called him, was one among,
if not the oldest man in the county,
and one of its pioneers. He leaves
an invalid wife, a large number of
children, grand children and friends
to mourn his demise.
