greater extent than one would think,
improved the appearance o four grow
ing city, which at no future day is
destined to be one of the neatest lald
off and most desirable cities to locate
in, in the West. The City Council
men on the throne are doing all in
their power to ''straighten those ways
that are crooked" and by having the
streets and alleys of the city straights
parallel and in appropriate positions,
thus enhance the appearance and n
venience of our thoroughfares. Among
the most prominent of improvements
this last spring, we notice the build
ing of the brick store room of
A. F. RYERsON,
on the north side of the square. This
building is built of brick and adds
much to the appearance OF the north
side of the square, for the house in
itself looks well built, it also fills up al
ugly opening in that side of the pub
lie square. Next we find
JOHN SCHUMACHER
has built a large brick addition to his
restaurant, thus giving him more
room to accommodate his many boad-
ers. But n very short time since
FRED LLEwEILYN
finished a very c%ommodious ware
room back of his drug store, before
this time Fred was crampted for room
for he does q mammouth business in
the drug line.
MR.. RUNKLE
has made marked improvements on
Frosts' corner, having built a large
brick house just back of the drug
store, and at this time he is finishing
a beautiful glass front in
EDGAR FRosT's
drug store, which adds much to the
appearance of that corner.
MENEFEE & CARDWELL
are Just completing a brick addition
to their furniture warcrOOms, which
will greatly enhance the value of their
building.
A. H. BUCKNER
has completely renovated and rebuilt
the old Wilson property. The house
which when he bought it was nothing
but an old shell is now one of our
most handsome residences.
MIR. ISsLEY
has built hiIna beautiful little cottage
in West Mexico, which is admired by
all who see it.
III Try WILLIAMS
has lust erected a new frame house
next to Geo. llabrich, his building
although Il frame will present n very
handsome appearance.
w. NJ. SIMS
has lately completed a handsome and
commodious barn on his place IN
South Mexico. This barn is very
convenient, being built on city style.
Great improvement is apparent on
the East side Of the square growing
out of the fact that all the fronts on
that street have been moved out on Il
line, and now present avery pleasant
appearance of regularity.
Many, many other improvements
some of them small, but all increasing
the beauty of our city, in which We
have so much pride have happened
during the past spring. Our streets
have been improved, u sidewalks
have been rebuilt Oh q better plan,
crossings perfected &c, &c. A
casual observer fails to apprehend
that these minor improvements are
what make the beauty and neat APP
pearance ola city. Let each property
owner keep a beautiful place and we
will have all the time a beautiful
city.
ENVIRONMENTS unfinished
In addition to the improvements
we have just cited there are several
houses now being erected and others
whose plans are not yet completed by
the architects. The plan for the l
NEW BANK
is completed and work will at once com
n This will be one of the most
imposing buildings in the city; we
published the plan a few issues since,
We understand that it will be /" stone
'front.'" No amount of money or skill
will be spared to make this the most
beautiful ediice in this part of the
State. The
NEW JAIL
the contract for which was given last
Tuesday, will be quite an addition to
the public buildings of Mexico; it
will be the largest, strongest and finest
looking building of the kind west of
st, Louis.

glill for their new boilers.
