Akron News.--
Mr. Eli Wolf, of Akron station, bought of George Adams his blacksmith shop, and had the same removed to the station, there to be used for the same purpose for which it was originally intended. Mr. Wolf is a man of enterprise and forethought.
Could he have controlled circumstances according to his own pleasure, we believe that at least one dozen dwellings would by this time ornament the place around the station; but circumstances alter cases and it was only of late that he purchased four acres of land for which he paid $2,000, and in this short period he has two dwellings nearly completed.
Besides this he knows that the taking thereof the blacksmith shop will bring custom to the place, and in this manner a nucleus for a business centre is formed which will begin to tell more and more as time moves on.
