Village improvement.

prOvements 7 G manifesting them
selves. l. *. Drew and Benz. Nutter
are building some new houses Just out
ofthe village, which none the less con-
stitute part of the village improve
ments. G. w. Jenness, is repairing
his buildings. Joseph Owen, Jr., is
converting t h seedy-looking, old
wood-cOlOred house on Water Street,
into a fine looking two story establish
men.t G. IL DwineII, is remodeling
and making additions to his furniture
rooms. The Blakes are going to
make extensive improvements about
the grist mill, by way Of enlargement.
{. w. Smith, is changing the entire
looks ofhis buildings, and last, but by
no means least, Drew d Skinner. have
commenced work upon the large store,
opposite the public Square. This is
well, but will be better when the place
can afford to associate thrift with en-
terprise. No place looks thrifty I'M
less clean and tidy; and in this re
spect, alas where is Barton? A
suggestion or two will suffice. First
clean up, and repair the streets and
way sides generally, even to include
the Side toalhs. Second, each citizen
serve their front yards, the same trick:
and If possible while doing it. fix some
where in their minds the tact, that
wood piles and chip ards look
better some where else, than in the
front yard, or Immediately in front of
the houses. Third. bear in mind that
saw logs, lumber OF all kinds, and
woCd-sheds in particular, unless they
are good looking ones. always appear
better entirely out of, and free from
streets and side walks.
Thus ends the first chapter Of vii
lace improvements.
