OUR TOWN.
Nevada city is now fast recovering
from the late destructive FIRE. Main
street. formerly the most business por-
tion of the town, already presents anac-
tive and business-like appearance. Many
of those who were burned out, have
erected good and subs tantial buildings.
and are now doing their usual business.
The town will present far better APP
nearance when fully rebuilt, than it form
erly did Main street which, before the
FIRE, was narrow and irregular, has been
widened, and the lower part is already
nearly rebuilt, with large, handsome
and commodious buildings. Those stores,
saloons &c. already opened, are Scott's
saloon, on the east side Of Main street, a
fine building;also Dawson s saloon, Craw-
ford s. Dunn store, ,Avary & Mills store
DR.. Lark's drug and medicine store,
and others nearly finished. On the west,
side, Rirdseyes store, Rogers store, Meat
market, American Bakery E. Cook 4 co.
and others are now open, Barker 4
Smith of 'Barker's Exchange" Will
omen their. splendid saloon the first OF
next week. This will be by far the
best building in town, and in size, taste
elegance and beauty it will rival It not
surpass many, if not all of the like bultd
iprs in Sacramento or San Francisco
Tnrner & Dumars of the Nevada Hotel
will open tae first of the ensuing week
Williams g. cos auction and commission
store will also open next week Man.
other stores, groceries a., too, numerou
to mention, are being erected
While the lower part of the tow
is thus being rebuilt in an improves
style ON wide and splendid street,
is matter of surprise and regret tina
portion of Main street at the junctlo
of Coyota and Pine sreets, shoul
have its beauty and proportions dc
stroyed by the buildings now ben
erected between those streets. lher
would be some excuse if these bulk
ings would compare with those lowe
down, but their situation, nearly blocl

which is anything but fatterlng, rel
