G. Guyle was in the city from
the vicinity of Walworth yester-

/, golden opportunity for someone
who desires to rent piece of
good land.
One of the front windows in
the postoffice was blown in by
the heavy wind Monday night
and until it could be doctored
those in quest of mail did not
tarry long as the room was "as
cold as barn"

l"plugs for Oconto"-and Custer
county-was in the city last Sat-

E. M. Mosely, residing a mile
, south of Elton postof6ce, was in
this city yesterday-accompany
. ing his son, Roy D., who came
for the purpose of having his
, molars repaired. Mr.. Mosley
, said people in the vicinity of FL
ton are happy and prosperous re-
lgardless of low price for hogs,
high price for corn, some hog
cholera, a liberal sprinkling of

5 II. N. Norcutt, and P. H.
= Munk returned Friday evening
from Galloway, where for the
f past month they have been work
y ing on a house for c. r. Deming,
t one of the progressive farmers of
the county, who, until recently
resided in Broken Bow. The
{ house is 28x3O, story and half
high and contains nine rooms.

5 farm southwest of Broken Bow,

s The new parcels post bill
- seems to be free from objections
so far as the local merchants are
n concerned, as it is exclusively fol
n their benefit. A Broken Bow
= merchant could send out goods al
d these low rates, to any one re.
d siding on a route eminating from
II this city, but he could not sent
1t out package at the same rate
y on a route out of Merna, Ansley
y Galloway, or any other town
Only the local merchants of tn,
,e place from which the route
N starts or at which it touches ha
W this right. 1t would seem as i
re this should build up local trad
s. instead of fostering catalogue
TT houses.
