GOODLAND.

Oats 26@28. Corn firm at 32@33. The new crop of oats is looking well. Commissioner Parsons, of Rose Lawn, was in town Monday. W. A. Bringham will go to the World’s Fair May 1st. School closes at this place April 28th.

From twelve to fourteen inches of water stood in the basement of the school house last week after the three or four days rain. The store room of Wm. Banes has received a new coat of paint. Freeman Reed, of Kentland, j thinks of moving to Goodlaud! soon. A surgical opei'ation was made by Goodland physicians and one or two from Watseka, on a three year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Getting's last Tuesday, for some lung trouble. Mr. and Mrs* F. Gilman entertained a party of friends at supper Tuesday evening. Let’s have a canning factory and let those other fellows have the gas. The report made by Mr. Kitt and Mr. Griggs Tuesday night of last week on the gas question was very satisfactory so far as the investigation by those gen-, tlemen was concerned. From the present indications we don’t believe that the capitalists of this place will take hold of the work, but on the other hand would rather invest in a city farther away from where they have made .all their wealth than to give one dollar or one word of good cheer for their own town. God grant that such men be shown streets that are paved with gold as soon as possible. Prof. Fagan helped to invoice a stock of goods at Morocco for Paxton & Royster last week. Mrs. Murray, formerly Mrs. Green, came over from Clark, Dakota, last week, to spend a few months with her daughter, Mrs. C. Spinney. Old Mother Spinney is slowly recovering under the careful treatment of Dr. Triplet. Mr. Fagan has accepted a position in the bank of Kennedy & Murphy, at Morocco, and will move back there as soon as the school closes here, so we have been informed. Jack the Ripper.
