DUNNVILLE SQUIBS.

The people here when talking of the new RR„ sigh, and say —“so near, and yet so far.” John Graves received, on last Saturday from parties in Chicago, a car load of cattle. A young man from Knox, by the name of Tucker, is soliciting subscription for Bibles and other publications, and is meeting with fair success. S. J. Bentley has shipped in «. car load of salt, and is making all necessary arrangements for a voyage up Salt River in the near future. It is rumored that I. D. Dunn takes charge of the ship. The San Pierr - creamery under management of John McLaughlin is doing a mammoth business this season. We wish him success Porter, the agent of the Bible society, put up with T. M. Jones one night last week. He has gone, but will return in a few weeks and distribute Bibles to the poor of Kankakee. Harris Turner and th* Lavinder’s had a suit before Squire Magnire, Monday. It seems as tho’ the Lavinders traded some cattle on which Turner held a mortgage, hence the squabble. We understand the jEavinders came out second best. A little bare-footed stranger made its appearance on last Saturday at the home of Lon Hillard, and now demands the care and attention due a daughter. Miss Rosa Jones will in a few weeks return home from Monticello where she has been attending school. Did J. N. White think when he bought $l2O worth of bridge lumber that he was practicing strict economy with the people’s money ? T. J. Jones has returned from Montlcello where be has been at work for the last three months. C. Way leaves next week for Chicago, where he expects to locate permanently.
