thirty dwellings have been erected with
in the limits OF the town. In addition to
this, citizens are improving the exterior
of their properties by the re-
movsl Of rough pavements and water
tables and replacing them by stone
slabs extending from house to curb.
Prominent among these are Nj. Arnold,
clothier; Nathan Seobst, Mr.. Morgan,
John II. Little, w. A. Micky, Esq,
and others. This not only does much TO
besutity the streets but greatly enhances
the value of property.

WAS for many years very prominent
and hi thly respected citizen of our town
