Sarcasm at Oxford’s Expense.

Fowled Era. We might state for the benefit of a few citizens of Benton that the court house and jail are in good condition with no signs of decay. And it would be a pitty to condemn such magnificent structures for no other reason than that they should be in close juncture with the car shops. We hope tjie few hasty citizens will kindly reconsider their determination to remove the county seat just for the present. £ ————. ‘ Me Coy’s building is npw very nearly completed, both as to interior and exterior. It is a fine building and worthy of the corner it occupies, the.must prominent in the town, perhaps. /The Tutuer brothers will move their grocery store into the large double front, room below within two or three weeks. Thompson & Bro., will use the two splendid rooms above, fronting Jon Washington street, for their law and real-estate office. They will also use the room in the south-west corner, of the same floor. Their rooms are large, well lighted, fitted With a large burglar and fire proof vault, and will make as fine a suit of rooms for the purpose for which they are to be used, could be desired. The two rooms, one large and one small, fronting on Van Rensselaer street will be occupied by Messrs. Kelley and Horton the dentists. They will have an excellent location.
