DEMOLISHING A LANDMARK. Workmen are tearing down an old frame building on North Court Street just south of the court house, which has been a landmark. It was erected by the late Wm. FULTON about 1856 or 1857, and was occupied for several years as a millinery store by Mrs. FULTON. It was purchased by Robt. F. RATCLIFF about 1861, after he retired from the office of clerk of the district court, and was used by him as a law office until it was partially destroyed by fire about two years ago.
