Present indications point to a boom in
house building in O’Neill this spring—
the boom has already scommenced, in
fact. Besides those already mentiened

stands that T. V. Golden contemplates

of the Lowrie place, which be will build
for the purpose of renting. £. Adams
expects soon to build an addition to his
bouse in tbe eastern part of town. Oth
ers also are talking of building, and it
looks very much like O’Neill would en
joy a greater building boom this spring
than is has for a number of years.

Lynch Journal: The smallpox ep
idemic in Lynch that is report
ed in our neighboring towns is
rather a laughing stock here. There has
been two cases of the disease north of
town in one family and there is now ore
here in town, but ail three cases are so
light a large majority of the people do
not beleive it smallpox. Though these
three are the only cases that have
developed every precaution possible is
being taking to prevent its spread and
no more are expected to develop. The
reports that reach us from the outside of
four and five new cases developing every
day are made out of whole cloth and
some of them have been chased to the
originator and those people will be
remembered. When we have an epi
demic we will let the wond know it and
will quarantine the town.
