corner opposite the residence of DR..
Clewers, and is now placed next to Miss
Brotheridges building on Main Street.
1t is good two story frame. and is being
finished in fine style. for. Mrs. Rufs Mil
linery Store. As l went down Main, l
noticed large frame residence up, and
the roof was being put on, situated near
the intersection of Main and South
Streets The foundation of another resi-
dence is laid near this new building A
man was digging well on the lot A. J.
Dever was there, and told me he was put
ting up these houses. He has been en-
gagged in building for year or two. He
put up five houses last summer, and has
three or four on hand now. He sent a
boy for his horse and buggy and pro
posed to take me around town. / went
to Fulton Furnace, and found the Fur
mace doing first rate work 1t turns out
fifteen tons first class iron in twenty-four
hours, and is using rather rough stock
Peter Hoop jr. told me they would do
much better after a while. Fulton is
now one of the most substantial furnaces
in this place.
l noticed across on the point short
distance below Fulton, on the railroad,
that Benoni Gray has put up temporary
residence, and has commenced making
brick for the new foundry which he is
going to build there. l got into the
buggy with Mr.. Dever at Fulton and we
crossed to the Foundry in jamestown
Here we found Mr.. Knauss, Mr. Cher
ington, Mr.. Mutt, James Pickrel, and
several other men, quite busy. This
Foundry is doing much heavy work, for
the new furnaces. Some time ago l saw
them casting large, bell-shaped tops for
furnaces, weighing $500 lbs. each.
There is much improvement going on
in jamestown. This is that part of
Jackson lyingaeast of Salt Creek Star
Furnace Company have commenced the
on the road short distance south of the
furnace.
Crossing Salt Creek bridge, we passed
the new blacksmith and wagon shop,
just east of the Isham House stable. The
old brick house so long known as the
residence of Philip Noel, on the street
between the Court House and Salt Creek,
has been torn down by Dr. l. T. Mona
han, and a neat, new frame building
erected in its place. Some years ago,
the late Michael Mccoy Esq, wrote to
me that he had assisted in putting up
the old Noel house, great many years
ago. But now it, like many of the ancient
land marks, has passed away. The old
frame building on the corner, opposite
the Parsonage of the NJ E. Church,
known as the Warren property, has been
over hauled, and with new weatherboard-
| ing, roof, windows, &C., looks like new
building. Robert Hoop has new frame
residence nearly completed, across the
street little beyond the mill. The new
planning mill. just beyond Tropic store,
across the Chillicothe bridge, is up, the
engine in, and the whole establishment
nearly ready for business. The engine,
and all the machinery, are new, and OF
..he latest patterns, just from Cincinnati.
Mr.. Dever has a new residence nearly
completed, on Main Street, across from
John j. Long tannery. He has painted
it with the rubber paint, which have
been advertising, and he likes it very
much, and is going to send for more, tc
paint his other two houses. An ole
