Raining seems to be quite a prominent feature in Mazon. A young man reigned down from Michigan the other day and scooped the Coal City and Mazonites bad. Just to show what he could do, he pawned his baggage and started in pursuit of the Streator accommodation, which he succeeded in overtaking in the neighborhood of Mr. BELDING’s pasture. “Brace up, boys.”
Mrs. C. D. WILSON will now receive millinery goods weekly from the city during the season. The ladies can now find the celebrated Ipailante drop stays, best in the market, drop extenders, summer corsets, silks, arasene for fancy work, etc. She expects to have competent help during the busy season. All orders promptly attended to, any specialty not kept in stock, will be ordered immediately from the city. Thankful for past favors she hopes to merit a continuance of the same.
