dent. Mr. English, ßr., is a native of Indjaiii. He lint taw the light ia Ohio Cona ty, in 1820. In 18-1 be moved to the Wabash Valley, and on either side of the river hsbubeen a mident cl the valley ever since. In early. life he waa cierkine in a dry good store at Perryyille, for nine years, and at Lafajette or five years, whre he wa3 the companion and associate of Ki-Sen: tor Joseph K. McDonald, while that geatleroaa was learning the trade of a naraesamiker. Ur. En'li&h wall remembers how young McUonald would ay that he never intended ioliowing his trade for a living. In lS-"3 the aabject of this sketch settled in Danville and or tare years thereafter he oatlnued in the dry goods trade. Ia 130 he besaa in the banking business, and in that business we now find him with nearly thirty years of record behiad him, entitling him to the credit of being the oldest, rafest and most reliable banker in -tera Illinois. To do a banking business for twenty-nine years, without being crowded under during the shocks that the financial world has experieacad ia that longspan cf time, is no easy matter; and to do it so tuccesifully, and at the same time crow in favcr, as has been the ci3e with Mr. English, is the grandest evidence of the merit and ability of the man, and an argument that convinces every thoughtful mind. Mr. English has had little time to spare fron business to devote to politics or ether exc ti&g undertakings. He has not sought oüka nor preferment of any kind, though at one time he was prevailed upon to accept membership in the Bosrd of Equalization solely in the interest of the public This he held for four years, discharging his duty ably and creditably. His nature does not fit him for political or other strifes. His traits of character run in the genial order, and his ruild and benevolent expression of countenance will never give way to the avaricioas and grasping look of the money changer and grabber. Large possessions do not change his simplicity of manner. He is socially & jV mo erat, though In politic) he is a Republican. He is one of the first citizens of Danville, and to leave hia bank and himself oat of these sketches would be to deprive this city of a big credit mark which is hereby jiWen it, at least Indirectly, by this parsing mention. Mr. J. G. English i3 a well-pre-served man of sixty-four years. He is noted fr perseverance iii his undertaking, has bread views of things genarally, bat ciu get down to details when required. He cia jmpas3 a transaction with readiness, and to this fancy as much as to any other doe3 he owe his busine?3 snccs33. He is cleirheaded, quick of perception, and kaows what he knows thoroughly. This is explained on the ground that beirjg deprived of early educational advantages he feecame his own teacher, and what he needed he studied with avidity and from a practical point of view. H is selfmade in the matter of fortune, in the character of his education also, and his manner, while Datural in most respects, has, vet, been molded after an ideal in his own mind. He is a man of method and little imnnlaa.

though his nature is of the emotional order. lie has a pride In his town, is proud of his friends, and is himself a warm friend. His love for Danville makes him public spirited to no little degree, and his money will continue to beautify and improve hn surroundings as long as business will, justify a legisimate outlay. Danville is töv.b8 congratulated because of a class of citizen of whom Mr. English is not so much a leader a3 a fair sample. These men, many of them advanced in years and old settlers, who have had many obstacles to overcome are not niggardly or horders up of means, but, on the contrary, are enterprising and energetic men, who believe in moving onward and accomplishing something in the order of development. It is because of this trait, and became of special merit and good standing, that the First National Bank of Danville and iti President are here commended by the Sentinel. A good bank U the next b3st thing after natural advantages for a capitalist to know, and should this setting forth of J)4nvill inrlnro mny such to locate in OUT border city the facts as here presented will be found to correspond with the reality. MR. JOHN r. JfORVElL is the renowned abstractor of laudtitles in M3 part of Illinois. His abstract boois for Vermillion County are the mo3t complete to re found, and with reasonable charges for the '.)st work he gets the business. He has been fourteen years in his present calling, and it flight be presumed that in that space of time he could have absorbed the knowledge d titles to which he lays claim; but wheu it is known that Mr. Norvell is a lawyer and a man of more than ordinary intellectual grasp it ralght be as well to say: "Good morning. Mr. Norvell, you lead ia your line." To his business of abstractor he has added that of lira insurance, and for the past three years he has been the A?se3or and Collector for Danville Townsaip. iu which this city is Mtuated. He has therefore plenty of business to keep him bujy, and perhap?, in his way, he is of mora, importance t Danville than are most others of greater pretensions. He has resided here for the past efghteen years, is a native of Trumb!e County, Kentucky, and is fort v sir years c! a-e Döring the war he served fjnr vears and three month as aartermaster of the Fifty-fourth Illinois Infaotry. He went in as a Democrat, came out with'his political Uith unshaken, and i still an adorer at the ehrine of Jackson. So prominent in ths lield cf politics is the subject cf this sketch that the Postma-jtership of Danville will bs given to him if the request of his nsighbsrj and a host of acquaintances throughout tha btate be harkeued to by the incotnin administration. Mr. Norvell hai served as a member of the Board of Aldermen from his ward, has been foremost ia the councils of his party, and is a Ma;oa in the thirty-second degree. His record read3 like this: Grand Standard Bearer Grand Commandery K. T., Hi.; Fast Grand Huh Priest, I1L: PaU EcL Com. Atheist in Comirandery, No. 4: K. 1.; District Deputy Grand Master, Illinois; Oriental Consistory A. A, S. Kite. Chicago. There is not a lode in the State some of whose members are not acquainted with John P. Norvell, bo'.h as a brother and as a man of sterling qualities. Fellowship of the loftiest kind is native to him, and when cultivate'! in hi3 school of inrronndings and thoughts it turves to lift a trän clear cut of the mire and methods tht' nurture selfishness. The amenities of life and the virtues that look better in acts than they sound in speech, are the thln-s ha uai cultivated. His is a public spirit. He entertains without gush, bat with warmth and an eye to the practical. He is brim full of cf good nature and good humor, can sing a hymn or a comic eong. and hi stories are ever new. He is a combination of special features, and circamstanc?? seem to unite ia his favor. His methods are known of. arid his position on every question caa ba determined in Advance. He is therefore oatspoken, frank ia his dealing, and is not a time-server in any tense. Cf the9 thi-vs sr.d many more in "his case, the Sentinel P.?cDrJIng Angel is a '.vitness and testifier, and f e writes them down in the bDcc of a crest I?rccr&tic newspaper that in the ac r.iittime John P. Norvell may ba asied to vove onward and upward into the e nbraces f r.d special companionship of the batmen cri tarth, and to enjoy the trood thini of Jjfe as prepared with aa eye to the eternal rtre?scf tair.gs.

THE ELLSWORTH COAL (OMI'lKY i3 the second largest mining institution in the btate of Illinois, and its operations in this vicinity are of incalculable beaeSt to the city of Ianulle. Four mine? are worked here, 500 haad3 are ernploped, acd over .'J.COO.OCO tonn are tafeea out annually. Tne comtaoy owna ia fee simple L'.TCO acres of coal lands adjoining the city, and its interests here are eo yreat as to call for the location of the general offices at this point. Peside these possessions the company has S,(XX) acres of c ml rights in Macoupin County, near St. Lo.iis, with six mints in operation at Mt. O ive and Staunton, in eaid county. Iu thesa 1.-00 hands are employed, and more tiaa 7U0,C00 tons are 'mined annually. Tue capital cf the Ellsworth Coal Compaay ia 170,000. and Mr. Jay (iou'd is one of tae largest stockholders. The President of the company is Mr. Charles Kidgeiy, of Springfield. Mr. George T. Catts, now of Springfield, but formerly of St. Louis, is the Secretary. The General Manager and original o gan.er of the Company la Mr. A. C. Daniel, of Danville. He began mining on his own account in this reighborhood as far back ai 157, and in 1S;;, upon the showing he ruadeaad the estimate of his propectings, he organized the company which, as above remarked, is now or e of the most extensive enterprises of the kind in the State. He U practical as a miner, is indefatigable as a worker, and as a man of business, is without aupericr in his line. A General Manager letalis int - practical use his f.xtensive experience, his improved msthodj of work and also hi3 geo'oical and engineering knowledge and eK ill. He. waa born at itoxbarv. inDelawara County, New York, the eirly home of Mr. Gould, and fresh from a farming experience he began as a yoong raaa his career as a proprietor and miner. All his practical life b;n thus far been devoted to his coal business, and, j adding fracri hia farm prop rty and business connections, he baa been very successful ia his undertakings. It may hare been the aaiiie of ;'ood fortune that accumulated his wealth and occasioned prosperity's snn to shine upon him, but the jmile of the fickle goddess :nd the bright ELininsof the sun cf goodt!ine5. do not often come to a mau uninvited bv conttant striving and unearned by hard work, both physical and mental. In the case in question, these favors have been well earned by Mr. Daniel, for he has beeaaUaraaa could le in the faithful di:chrge of his truat, aDd in the full pej formaace of hii part as a man condemned from the beginning to labor, and obligated for the public good in common with his fellow citizens. It is the recognition of this fact that occasioned his acceptance of membership iu the Educational Board. He esteemed it a public duty. He has held no other oilice; does not want anyofike: and has no time to devote to oltice-holding, whether of hieb trust or inviting emolument. Mr. A.C. Daniel is a robast, well-preserved maa of fifty year?, with whom constant employment and" hard work seem to agree remarkably well. In view of these things, and also because of his being a man of force and strict integrity, he üolds the highest rank In the estimation of bis neighbors and friends in Danville and elsewhere. Few ar3 his equals in publicsniritedness and in a commendable zeal for the adyancement of the general interests of his city. He is a good neighbor, an agreeable uettleman, and a citizenwho is creditable to bis town, and the Sentinel is rejoiced to be able, by the einipl statement of these facts, to tay so much for him and his business in connection with tlm "write up" of Dinyille, its developments and romarkable natural advantages. 110 S, .10-SETH !;. man:; is the senior member of the law firn of Mann A: FrazW, of 1'anville, 111. Ho ia the leader of theBirof Vermillion County, and is a distinguished member of the leal profession holding sway in this and adjoining States. He has baen retained in all the Ivaportant ca?es tried in this section for years, and his splendid abilities have oftea occasioned h:s being in demand elsewhere Iu Icdiana he is well known, not alone as a public speaker, taking part as a Democrat in her political campa'-as for twelve years, but aho aj a great lawjer. successfully par-tic-pating in many noted and absorbing ca3es. His defen83 of eleven men at Covington, charged with murder in the coal field riots of W., established his reputation in that part cf the State and made his nama to many a household word. Hi noted success as a jurist. hi3 having beea associated with Senator Voorhees ia nt trlf 100 cvsss. and hi3 continued serial and professional rehtions with ex Senator McDonald, are matteis that indicate the bril!iafic7 of hi3 carepr and suggest his worth as an advocate. He excels in all branches of his c tiling the common law, in chancery and also in criminal practice and he enjoys the reputation cf having the best legs! mind of any other man of his years in the State. His instincts from early boyhood inclined him toward the profession of the law and the cultivation of oratory, and in nuny thiDpa he caios the mastery simply by the fulness of his native tower?, whereas others have to delve and study and then invite contentment on the basis of third-c!as results. Mr. Man is aa apt slndeat of human nature, and may confidently claim aa intimate acquaintance with that mysterious subject. This in part accounts for his success ia dealing with juric3. His presto with the courts kihI with judicial minds is baied upoa the fact that he knows the lw and talks it seemingly without aa eil'oit. In both instances his ability as aa orator is available, and he 13 pxcuabla if at times he becomes aware cf ths fact. He has reaiarkaMe power of Etatement, his voice is an excellent one, h3 personal appearance well in keeping, and tils majestic 'manhood and force cf will readily aSord him the warmth demaided by his subject. To uausnal natural powers he ha3 added knowledge not 'alone- of the law simply, but general .knowledge, and his desire to utilize both is as if commanded by his will. He is always read y, and the more impromptu the eifort the happier it see-us to be. He is a man cf rare firmness and decision of character, a"d of theehe .rave proof at Chicago when in the National Democratic Convention a3 a ue!?::tt from this district he tcod out for McDonald to the vjrviast. In his social relations he is convivial tnd felicitoi?, aui 3 ctaay aJmirers art? drawn to him bv his :nan::?r r.s there are tbese who cling to "hira becauso of his brilliancy and mental att.'.ia.-ueats. He wa?. bom at Somerville. N. J., in and his' ristdfd in Danville eighteen vears. He fnditd If.w in Chicago and gri.Lute.l from T-ngf r's College, New Jersey, ia IS-;-. lie is the attorney for all tha railro.il3 doing bcs:tes 1 ere, and a!o t a.! tbe coal comt anifs. He reprcseDfei this ounly ia the Thirty yecend General Assembly, anl this waMhe first rest he had had froai active practice ud to that time. The bar of Vermillion Connty being not the least in the State, but rather well up toward the beit, the Sentinel speaks, for that bar when it

writes about Mr. Mann at the Individual members thereof delight ia saying iu Detter ttle the things here attempted. ME. AI.BZr.T .-. W. HAWiS is the Cleik and Recorder of tha Circuit Court at Danville, and is now srvin- bj3 Eecondterm in the said oice. fc In earlier life he wai deputy for about two years in his preient ofiice, and for twelve years he was assistant cashier in the First National B.iak of Danville, which position he rs'irued to enter upon his responsible calling as Clerk of the a'A)ve mentiond court. The wisdom of his election to that otüce by the people as cocfrmed by their action last veiriareelectine him to succeed himself. It is true he is a Republican ia politics, and the constituency he serves 13 largely of his polit.cal taith: but. even with thi3 rlationship listirg, they would not have re-e'.ected Mr. Haves bad he not been worthy of the trust and the honor. Hi- record made while connected with the bank, the etlicieiicy ha manifested and the honesty thst characterized hisicU ccmn;er.l him to the people here as a native cf Vermillion County and a citizen cf Dinville, of whom all may be proud- It i -ot intended by this that the skies should be pulled down for a man becau-e te does hi duty, 8Ei. the duty of every man istoe?tbblish bis integrity and to make good his word. No. But when it in considered tiat the subject ct this personal mention havuig but the commonest education and lir.i means, fca3 by his own endeavors attained to his present position, and while ttririrg always tooE care that his life should be blanele ss and his record cltar. He 13 of necess ty the pride of his neighbors, and is entitled to this recognition in . the columns of the Senticel, he has fet an example to other young men by what he h3 accomplished and by the methods employed, and is therefore a benef t-tor to his kmd. He was born in thi3 county iu lv4'i, and has lived mti cf hia years in tha city. He is a Mason h!gb up, is favorabl known to tbe people, and is a clever gentleman. Ue is not o;.e to t " r rit a favor, no: will he ever sacrifice a iriend. Ilia pleasant manner attracts manv, who learn to like hini on knowing him bettfr. His penunai ttttractioLs are not few, ai.d include a cduutecance passing iAir and a native brilliancy and an aptitude for mir:h that tnak Iii ri promirent in tha circles cf his friends ani associate?. It this is saying toe much abu; the "Clerk of the Cocrf it should 19 remeai bertd that every such ofncial is not a good one, and there is Iut one opinion touchinc the official record and capacity of Alban S W. liases that he is tha best who Ins feived in this ecction. He is, therefore, deserving of much credit, and barring the fc I of his politics, we are half inclined to de caand for him a place under the new admim iatration, which, of course, he v.oaid have torffro until he could fsel hhi'eif pod enocgh to become a Democrat and be saved. Dot there is no necessarv acolcy for thus presenting Clerk Hawts. He is devoted tc his town and county, and when these come in for iust reccguition it i3 meet that such men es are mentioned in tht-se sketches b not overlcoked. They Lave contributed their share toward the credit and devolop ment of the place, they have cast iu then lot with iheir neighbors in the common noi and propose to ri3e or fall with Danville. Fortunately, Danville will sink no man who is industrious and honest, and even it did, the last man to i;o down would bo the maa who looks well to the records. DANVILLf: FOr.NDP.Y AND MACHINE W0P.KS. These works are the property of Mr. William Stewart, and date their establishment back to 177. The buildings are of brick, the machine shop two stories and 40x0 feet in dimensione, while the foundry is 10x7." feU The cteam power is forty-horse, and the taols and( appliances essential to carrying on the bn?ine3 are firt-dass and complete in every iespect. The location is at the junction of of the railroads and affords every facility for shipping and receiving freights. The busi

ness includes the manufacture of engines, roai mine cars and hoisting machinery, a general line of konndry work and railroad castings, with ft stock of engine trimmings nd steam p:re and fittings always on hand. Of Ihe character of tha work turned ont by Mr. S'ewart it can be inferred from hi3 standing as a mechanic and hia record as such. He voi kt (I for the Waba?h Company at Fort Wayne for eleven years, was ena-ed in a responsible capacity at one time .in Indian apolis, and previous to estRblMiins his present business he wai for nia-ly f jur veara the Master Mechanic of the C. and E. I. Road. He personally snpsrintends his otq work, has gathered around him oa an average about twenty five of the best skilled workmen in bis lirje, nd with a desira to do the best work, it i3 to be presumed that with these facilities he ec:.omplir,hes his purpose. He enjoys that reputation at I?ad, and before believing difiprently we prefer to a-vait a reason for so doing. William Stewart is oca ot the subs'antial and enterprising men of Danville. Beside these works and some property be is a stockholder in tbe Grand Opera House, and also in the Street Railroad Company, of whicn latter he is the Vice President. He has an eye to the future, of this city and his confidence in its greater dsvelopment is quite unshaken. Tiie natural advantcges of the city he reccnnt3 with precision, ami in every cae he gives the best reasons possible for the faith h? holds to as to its near and glorious future. He WjS Dorn in Scotland, is forty five years of age, and enjoys the distinction of bging among the tinest and most portly ruca in Danville. He admires Ilabby" as his 'avorite national '.cet, can rot gainsay his Democracy as sung ia "Man Was Made to Mourn," and yet he trains with the Republican parly. Tnls fa?t is here announced to call attention to tvs firrcneis rather than to his partisinjhip. for he is not a partisan, but is notei for his decision of character. Mr. Stewart is a pract;cal man of broad views and generous impulses. He ukes to see things just as they are, and any exaggeration, even with a g)od purpose m viewr is very distasteful to him. Knowing there thing?, ve have kept to the facts unusually clcs in his eise, preferring a bare statement to a generous presentation cf hi3 aP.air?. Dat believing that "a man's a man fcr a' that," we can the more generously announce the sterling manhood of the subject cf this pa?s!ng eketch His fellowcit ens are iudges in the cass and from not a few have we cathered information touchirg his standing as a man, brother and citzen. That standing is Euch that ths tentir.ei (tolitlcs aside does not hesitate to commerd William Stewart and his bnsin??3 to i'3 thonands of readers generally, and especially to these in tha Walam Valley. They vill fii:d hira a g;oJ Republican, a good buiincss man and a good citizsn. MIS HENRY IK AND'? CITY MILLare worthy of special mention in this connection, as well becacsa cf the quality of the ticur made on account of the enterprise tnd public spiritcdneis of tae proprietor. The credit of Danville demands it, too, that its milling interests may b? properly renre-f-ented iu these ketcht"3.

The proprietor 13 a practical miller, having

learned hia trade in the old pountrv, and pertoually superintending his milia he brings to his work the experience of maay year?. From l?1 " to 1S0 ha was milling in Indiana, and since 10 he has beea a resident ot this place and baa since b?ea m the 2rir:dlrg busint-aj. When he landed ia Ne York twenty years ago he was a young man of twenty-live years with only 1 to becin business wiih. His industry and cf revt rarce were brought into requisitton, ar d through necessity were severe .y tes fd. With what credit and results can be readily eathered from the facts that he now owns a ? -0,0(0 mill, a nice hobs?, and in business and social lite he retains the confidence and rej-ptct of his neighbors and fallow citizens. It is not in his nature to bs close fotsJ. Si3 impils-a ar of the generous order.

To further theae end? le has exerted himself ia the past, aod there is no undertaking .'coking to the advancerrfrnt of Danville that docs not meet with bis approval and active co-operation. BecsTjse of this ppint, and the reputation it establishes fcr htm among the peDpic here, his is a splendid figure compared with the showiDg made by the hatchet-faced man, the g'&bb?r, and th.t fellow ever yoader who is ail wiapped np m eelf. He is a fair saaiple of the best men here, and it can be inferred from this that this city will not be alio ved to ig in any rarticu ar. Piuck and push are characteristics of tha man, aod when a person cf his energy is directed by his business discretion, failure is insured against. Mr. HeDry Brand bears such reputation in these parts that aüy c rameudaticn of him will Lot overestimate him in the minds of those v;ho knotf hini well. It is not the parposs of the Sentinel to exceed a happy modera tlon in estimating men and things in Danville but in the case in point it has no fears. The facts are as above stated, and no one will be mislead by regarding Mr. Rrand and h business ia ihe light in which they ar hre presented. These thircs, while written by ds, are not of ns as much as they are of some cf the Je8dirK citizens of this city, wha opinion and judgment are tere feebly ext,rcted. the vwor. or panyillk i Hon. L. T. Dickason, wno is spoken of rs "the best Major Danville ever hid." Ho has fceld the cllica for tea consecutive years, and during his administration this city has made its grandest strides ia the way of devdupment. Many Improvements stand to tha credit of this place to-day aadaäsistin its ornamentation that but for the suhieet of this tketch woald have been iudeüaiteiy postponed. Major Dicka-on s niethoii of government are ppecially modern. His notion? nre prctial his policy is based Of on liberal vie, and the public good rs consistent with n aerent rtgard for privat intertsts has been his aim and ambition. How well he has succeeded in his undertakings ia thi3 respect caa be easily inferred from his re-election so many times to tbe same office t and this, too, not on political groan Is, cut because of personal popularitv and the best indgmentof the citizens looking to the interests of their city. Already some of the leadicg citizens have served notice upoa him that be will be re elected in the spring, bat he positively declines the honor, believing that he has ftad enough, and that during his decade of cilicial life he has borne his share of the burdens of the day and the heats. He is icnior member of the large grocery bouse of Dickason, Spellman Co., is a timber and tie contractor for tb.8 railroad., is a member of the Governor's etatf, and is Grand Commander of the Department of Illinois G. A. R. He was born in Ohio in 1313, served in the Siity-foaith Ohio Iafantry during the war and was wounded at the battle of Chicamauga. He settled m Danville inkv70, began at onco in the business of .contracting, and hs.9 tince been idantihei with the interests of the place. Mayor Dicfeason 13 a Republican in politics, is a publicspirited citizen touching his Stite and citv, and iD all that goes to make up a maa of the reople, a leader, a friend, he ia a rich bat cot boRstful poi?f ssor. Being young and full of life or !y forty-one years of ape hs is a jolly good fellow with the boys, bat does not permit his 5oe:al pleasures to invade the dfcoruin becomirg to hU ctlicial and business calling. In general, he may be regarded as a capab!e man. fall of energy and firronesj and posses ?d of a forethoue;ht that often serves him to good purpose In his address before the Xir etaenth Annual Encampment of the Department of Illinois, G. A. If., at Peoria, on last Wednesday, he give proof of this, especially ia his State Soldiers' fierce recommendation and the reasons he adduced therefor. This aldr?ss of Commander DiCkason ii replete with good s-nse and evidenced a manliness that is comcuendab!e. It stamps him with the imprint of special merit, and there a -e those who are takirg advantage of it and o? his reo 3rd as a llepnbliran and a leading citien to make tim the next Congressman from this district. This idea i3 not a new one in these parts, tut it is now moia prominent thin h?fo-. nd is last gaining the aop'oval and support of those who know Mayor Dickasttn beu. A aciti?n of Danville Irving his city, jia a tiiriy second degree Mastm mingling with tie brethren, as an old soid'er and as a trusted friend ho will hava an ermy of supptrtfrs and backers for any pjsition fjr which his claims may be presented.. THE PANYII.LE EEFININ' COM'ANY istht- f tie ot an enterprise which is the mo?t e xtenEive cf its kind in Kastern Illinois. -It i3 of untold benefit to this city in that it eruplcys a large number of hands, soattsrs vast sums cf money here, and makes Danville known throughout tho entire country. This c?mrany rr.anuf act ares starch and glue ise smd tas the best equipped establishmeat for this busin. in this section. The worss ar located in the northeastern prt of th? city at th? junction of the railroads. The site has natural advantages in fronting oa Stony Creek and having a hill which, in the manufacture of rvrnp. precludes the necessity of very tall buildings. The railroads all passing by tha premises afford the best chipping facilities. The plant comprises six acres of ground and numerous buildings which with machinery, etc , represent an investment of faliy u qcarter of a million of dollars. Some idta ct the extent of the works caa be gathered frcm the following facts and dimentioogt The engine room is 15x"0 fssi. the boiler-house is 50x50 U et, corn cab, 57x00 feet; steep housj, 110x41 feet; mill roam, 41xJS f(f?t; feed-press, 1x21 fec-t; ?yrap house, 71xS5 feet; bone black house, 4Cx'i2 feet; rag filter room, "'G2 feet; rnn-housa acd etarch-csllar, 80x120 feet.

Ia5y eyes from the East are looking to the sie ndvantages for manufacturing which Danville alTcrds in this line, and as the cost of another plant may frighten oil aome, it is Hlmcst a cerfainl y that the works here re terred to will be pushed to their utmost, ami rertap8 farther enlaiged by the energy of Eastern capital. In any case they will continue to stand to tbe credit and troth of Danville, and will pointed to with prid by all tbe citizens. Tbi&'conipany is a stock ailair, with Mr. J. A. Cunningharu as I'resident: Mr. C. L English, Secretary, and Mr. T. D. Christopher, Treasurer. Back ot thet-e tre several influential men who, with the citizens generally, wish well to this, toe largest of Danville's manufacturing enterprisep. The reputation of these wors Ins pieceded the Roods in every quarter of the country, and on comparison nave been foiled to correspond with tbe fact", an occurrence which in every case has established tha tlrtc!ass standing of the comcanv. Tne best geeds made cn a large scale, ai d seid at marset prices, is all that is claimed for this couctrn, aside frcm its importance to Danville and Eastern Illinois. MR. r.ENMTT K. KANDV is one of the substantial and tteady young men of Danville who ars not knoWn of in ac.vt.Lce, but who will bear ECuaintnce. Bp ac l)orn her in 1840 was educated in tbe ward scnool ;:ad teminary, and here he reirnir-s dohg an inturat cs O'jsineee and HCtiDg ai ticAsnrerfor the townj'hip school ftad, and aibo for one of the budding associations His father, William Uir.dy, settled he;e in 1S27, and being a man cf iadus'ry, he accumulated a Jarg property. A J an f ibis if eits to the subject of this ii enticn, acd consists of busineiS property and real estate. To care for and nop'jve tlii-t piopptty Mr. Bttmiv. jr peems wl! adapted 11 has an abiding faith in Ue fotore of Danville, and he predicates his belief npon the experience of his father and upon the developments of tüe past six

years in and around this city. Keil es'tre I has advanced in price, resident and bnsine-is lots are fast being iru proved, .nd to no eye dees this appear tha index of prosperity aay clearer than to the keen business perception of Is. B. Bandy. He ia Datnra1 ly a 'tose b5.erfer and calculator. From a business standpoint he can answer the query: "kVhat will the narvest be.'" and because ot this faculty, he mnst gr,v in wtalth witiont nnotroing the trials and risks to which other m)L.d3 are necessarily subjected under like circumstances, feudally acl in busing ho is vtry quiet; in every case he is no'ed for modttt bearing, never acisumini: to be other tLan the simplest of men. To this (baiecteri&tir he adds hit or seniality, and because of both he so commends himself to his acquaintances as to sicore them all as his friends. He is an eld young maa of broad view3 and deep thought, very practical, constant, earnest, and very "pushing witbeut making much fuss over his work. He is the man to win in a protracted contest, and having an excellent standing ia every reelect he is trusted in and enjoys the confidence of these who know him" well. Without going into details he can be set own as a man creditable to his town, and well worthy of mention in connection with a settiDg forth of its interests and advantages. It is in this Eense and because of a previous acquaintance that thie mention is made of Mr. Bandy in the Sentinel. We recognize him as a genial gentleman, a sterling Democrat, a good friend, and as one who takes high rank for merit among good men. Some may think that to set forth the ?ucceEs of seme manufacturing interest would be far better in the interest of Danville. Let It be remarked in reply that men rcaie cities and establish enterprises, and in every case tbe character of the mau is imprinted upon his work and his business. According to this it would be &3 well to say a geed word for a good man when you find ore, tnd to snlserve thereby the common ?ooit. llxam pie attracts, and tnere i the case in a nutshell. We commend Mr. Eandy as a worthy citizea of Danville. TBI. STOCK RAISING INTERESTS of this tec'Jon cf Ulinoi3ate numerous and important, ai d those in Vermillion Conntv are eptcially remarkable.
