R. HORNADAY. R. G. Brown had a fine yearling colt to die this week from lockjaw.

Quite a severe electric storm last Thursday night, but no damage in this vicinity. A brick chimney now adorns the roof of T. R. Hornaday's office, the workmanship of Mr. Shaw.

A large tank of pure, fresh water is always standing at the public well, where travelers can water their teams at all times. Our growing corn stands knee high, and under the influence of alternate rain and sunshine, is reaching upwards as fast as any corn you ever saw. The Evangelical Association are arranging to build a house of worship in this place, and have already secured a large portion of the subscription desired. When you hear the advocates of those mushroom towns talking about shooting, you may feel assured that they are weakening, and are trying the bulldoze game. We note that it rained again last Saturday night, and rained hard.

A solid rain every week ought to satisfy every one, and that is what we have had so far this summer. Will Warner and T. J. Madden, two enterprising young men from the east, have recently taken claims a few miles northwest of town, and are getting "broke in" to cooking, and making improvements on their lands. Some thought that sowing alfalfa was rather risky business away from irrigating ditches, but those who have sowed a few acres find that it grows as well as any other crop.

A piece sown by the editor last February is now a foot high. Mr. John Watkins and Miss Hattie Abbott were married at the home of the latter, three miles northeast of this place, on Thursday last, G. E. Bicknell, of Hartland, officiating, They started the next day on a trip to their former home in Kentucky.

Those wishing Dry Goods or Gro- ceries, will do well to call on KLEIN STRUTHERS. They have just received a fine lot of all kinds of goods. Some parties were here this week from Cincinnati, for what purposely was not stated. It is supposed they desired to sell a few of their numerous chicken-coops to Mr. White, our poultryman.

The poor fellows down there evidently want to unload. Mr. and Mrs. J. G.

Klein, parents of J. G. and S. H. Klein of this place, arrived from Sturgis, Michigan, and are enjoying a tew days visit here very much.

They admit it to be a fine country, and the more readily when they were driven over the country and shown the large fields of growing crops, especially that fine wheat field of Mr. Divine's, just east of town. A number of very choice lots in Johnson City and Shockeyville, for sale Call and look over the list. T. R.

HORNADAY. The foundation for our new Bank building is laid, and the superstructure is being rapidly framed and put together under the direction of one the best carpenters, Mr. L. Brown. It will be 16x32 feet, 12 foot story, and strongly anchored by iron bolts sunk three feet deep at each corner.

The building will be ready for occupancy in a very short time, and the safe and furniture likewise supplied ready for business. A contract has been made for the erection of a business room, 24x50 feet, and as soon as it can be completed will be occupied by a $2,500 stock of goods, to supply the increasing wants of the surrounding country. Thus we surely and steadily grow. Shockey ville is to celebrate the 4th of July In good old style.

It represents a growing town in a section of the finest and best settled country in the southwest. A pleasant Marriage.

An uncle of the bride from the eastern part of the State-with other relatives and friends both of the bride and groom, made the occasion more enjoyable by their presence. After the ceremony, and attendance on church services, a number partook of the wedding dinner so well prepared by the landlady, Mrs. S. A. Searle, of the Shockeyville Hotel.

Having been appointed by the Governor Census Taker for the county of Grant, all legal inhabitants will take, notice that I will soon commence taking the enumeration of the bonafide inhabitants of the county, and each inhabitant will be furnished with a blank for the purpose of making out a statement of their personal property of which they were owners on the 1st of March, 1887, and have the same made out when called upon. And those who have the right to give their preference for the location of the temporary county seat, will be prepared to notify the census taker. And as no one has the right to know the preference of a legal voter as to his choice, each one will be allowed the privilege of privately communicating the same, and when once made no change will be made of the registration of their choice. I will also state that I shall strictly comply with the law and the directions of the Governor and AttorneyGeneral. All foreign born citizens will present their naturalization papers, and no interference will be entertained or allowed, and all persons attempting thesame will be promptdealt with as the law directs.

The Governor demands that the law inust be complied with, and this I shall do. TOM. J. JACKSON, Census Taker for Grant County. Fair Warning.
