DIED. In this city, on the 19th inst., William, son of J. L. and L. M. Thomison, aged 5 years and 6
months. The funeral will take place from the residence of the parents, on Bourbon Hill, this
afternoon at 2 o’clock.
COLORED PEOPLE’S CHURCH.— Yesterday timbers were hauled upon the ground and

present themselves, and the way the dirt is being moved gives promise of the completion of this section
sooner than the most sanguine had anticipated.
WATER FOR GRASS VALLEY.—The property owners of Grass Valley are to decide by vote on the
first day of February “whether the town shall have permanent water works for the benefit of the town and
citizens generally.” We understand that for a long time the supply of water in that place has been limited,
and we have no doubt that the people will decide at this election in favor of the construction of water
works for the place.
NEW BUILDINGS.—We understand that the National Exchange Hotel company design erecting
