Mr.. D. A. O'Kelley has bought

which also was bought BY Mr.. O'Kel-
ley some time since. He has had the
lot leveled and win move the Higley
cottage over to the North side, to face
Oak street.
Mr.. E. L. Gulley and DR.. q. N. Clarke
bought the old plank In use on the
plank road, out from st. Joseph, and
it is understood will have same sawed
up for fire wood. We do not believe
the contract has yet been let for the
rounding up Of the plank road. It is
certainly to be hoped that this road
can be put in good condition, - it has
surely been very much Of . drawback
to st. Joseph.
Aliens Minstrels showed ct st. Jo-

Some of the transfers of valuable
plantation properties in this and Ten

& Montgomery, of Liberty, KY, pur-
"Black Lake" plantation in
this parish, and Messrs Burnside & Gold
man purchasing the s'Monona" plsnta-
ton, also in this parish, from Mr.. o. y.
Richie. Surely the lands In this s'neck
of-the-woods" are in demand, and al
ways fetch . good price, - oil the
above properties were cold ct excel
lent prices, though they were not given
out for publication by the parties In
the transactions. Ooncordis Senti-
