part OF the new building to be erect
ed on the old Wisconsin house lot
We have since been informed that
JOS. OFT purchased that part of the
lot from ID. G.. Seaton and when the
proposed new building is completed
that part will be occupied by Mr.. OFT
as a barber shop Where the post
Office will henceforth be located is
a question that remains to be answer
ed No available room suitable for
the Office is in sight. 1t certainly
will be very inconvenient and cold
for Postmaster Kaltenbach to do the
business of the office during the win
ter months in the room where he is
at present located. 1t is hoped that
a more suitable room will be found
both for Mr. Kaltenbach's conven-
fence and for the convenience of the
patrons of the Office before the cold
months set in.
