E.A. Yontz of Fairbury and Thad Williams of Beatrice have formed a co-partnership under the firm name of Yountz & Williams, to engage in the abstract and real estate business in this city. They are fitting up an office in the basement of the Brainard building on the north side just east of the post office. Their ad will appear in these columns later.

Moves the Postoffice Quick Work At Fairbury - Putting In An Ice Plant Special Dispatch to the World-Herald Fairbury, Neb. March 2: Promptly at 6:30 o'clock Saturday evening Postmaster. John C. Kesterson closed the postoffice doors and informed the outside world that Uncle Sam would "move house." By midnight everything was removed from the old location, on the north side of the square, to the Hansen building on the southeast corner thereof. Nearly all the preliminary work toward putting in an ice plant here has been done, and work on the building will probably begin in a short time. Just before the decision was finally reached the thermometer registered nearly 0 degrees above, and today it is within 10 degrees of the zero point. Ten days of such weather as that of today would kill plans of the ice plant. Contributed by: Christine Walters [Morning World Herald - March 3, 1896]
