Editor ofthe Middletown Transcript: !:
Notwithstanding the financial depres-
sion everywhere, our little town has a
live appearance. MIR. Daniel Salmon
is having a very neat and tasty house
built 18 by 40 feet, which, when COM
pleted, will cost about $500. Mr.
Lingo Of your town is the builder and
will soon have the work completed.
The money that Mr.. Salmon is using
in the building Of his house, has been
saved from years Of toll. Economy, in
dustry and sobriety. have been the
foundation stones of bis success Those
who have had to move year after year
can only fully realize what it is to have
a home Of their own. Mr.. Thomas
Timmops is also putting in proper re-
pair house that he lately purchased
of Mr.. L. CHM. I like this spirit Of
providing home, no matter how hum
bic, ..Por there is no place like Home. :
Our new school system is beginning
to show its good effects under the eff-
cient management Of our State Super
intendept, Mr. James H. Groves. 1t
is true that We have few teachers in
our schools yet. who have no more in
telligenee than William NJ. Evarts OF
