LIvELY.-1t seems more like old times
down on Brady street than it did q new de-
gree Of life and activity has been infused into
the comm srcial arteries those stores whose
doors and windows have go long been blind
folded are once more ope ing and assuming an
active appearance. Down on the levee, at the
foot of Brady street, where the stiffness and
quiet Of New England country Sabbath Las
been wont to pervade, now prevails the I ose
and din OF heavy laden wagons and the brusque
chatter of active business men. 1t really does
ones he-rt good to notice the improv vement
there taking place. We shall hope Tor it's con-
,inulnce. We have seen too many Sundays in
DaveDport-we mean too many days wherein
there was no trade-no life or animation. Let
Us forget them and look ahead for something
