  • Fox skins are worth from $1.50 to $2.25 this winter.
  • Crowds of young people enjoyed the fine skating on the paper mill pond yesterday. Great place that is for the congregating of belles and beaux.
  • C.C. Willis has disposed of two more building lots to out-of-town parties. The building boom in this spring will be great judging from the number of sales of lots being continuously made.
  • A poorly executed counterfeit $5 Treasury note or “greenback” is afloat. It is of the series of 1880, check letter B, Jackson vignette, large red seal, W.H. Rosecrans registrar, James W. Hyatt treasurer.
  • A chimney of one of J.N. Briggs’ tenant houses was on fire Saturday evening and threw out a shower of sparks, which gathered quite a number quickly to the scene. A liberal use of chloride of sodium soon quenched the flame.
  • Builders have been privileged to do an exceptionally large amount of outdoor work this winter.
