The storm on Friday night of last
week amounted almost to a cyclone,
and did serious damage to crops, be
sides wrecking many buildings. The
barn of Thomas Oleson was totally de
molished and his dwelling house badly
damaged. Squire Ivey was also a very
serious sufferer at the same time. On
the same night two or theee buildings
at Blanchardville were blown down.
James and William Korup, two en
enterprising and prosperous young
farmers, have just completed the hand
somest residence in the town, and they
can boast that it is all paid for, and be
sides they have a handsome credit in
their bank account.
The public school under the charge
of Miss Einbeck, a Monroe lady, has
just closed, and it is not too much to
say that she has given more than usual
satisfaction.
The Moscow mills since passing into
the hands of W. A. Million has estab
lished a reputation second to none any
where around. The number of teams
hitched around it, many coming from
long distances, give evidence of this.
The smiling countenance of W. K.
Spears, the genial landlord of the Mos
cow hotel, still looms, and we are glad
to record the fact that he rejoices in a
liberal patronage.
It should have before been stated
that Mr. Ben Holland has removed
from the village to his farm, five miles
north, upon which he has built a fine
dwelling house. He is still a member
of the firm of Holland Brothers, and
calls round to see his old neighbors
often, and of course all are glad to see
him.
