A citizen frojn Seeleyville, Ind., was here the first of the week, looking for the four-year-old son of Dr. Byers of that place, who is supposed to have been abducted by gypsies on Sunday, May 29.

And now it is said that Joe Hammond of Wheattield and the giraffe-necked editor of the Remington Press each want the nomination for joint-representative.

If these blocks prove satisfactory—and we don’t see why they should not —it is likely that they will supercede brink and stone in building construction, being much cheaper, it is said, than either.
