A good watchmaker is what has long been needed in this community, and we now have one that can be relied upon. Mr. F. Melluish, formerly of Bloomington, Illinois, has bought property and permanently located in Ottawa, and may be found in the post office building. He comes well recommended, and we take pleasure in recommending him to the public. He has a large variety of the celebrated Seth Thomas clocks, and those in want of a time keeper cannot do better than give him a call.
