Sidewalks.

A long needed and useful thing is
about to happen to Canon City.
Sidewalks according to the regula-
tion size-six feet wide-are to be
built on both sides of A and B streets
from Second to Seventh ON Second,
Third, Fourth, Filth, Sixth and Sew
enth, both sides, from Main to b; on
Main street where needed and on
Eighth from River to the depot.
Good crossings will be put across all
streets. Nearly all property owners
along those streets have been noti-
fled to build these walks and in case
of failure to comply with the provis-
ions OF the ordinance the city will
lay them at the expense of the prop
crty. 1t is expected to have all walks
completed by the beginning of the
fall term of school, which commences
on September 5th. This will be an
improvement of considerable value
to the town and will place us on a
footing with our ncighbors.

Music.

There is movement on foot in this
city to give 10 our music loving peo-
pie in the near future, for the benefit
of the Military college, the opera of
Genevieve, one of Stratton's very
best. The parties who are at the head
of this movement would like to have
a number of ladies, boys and girls
with good voices meet at the Baptist
church on Monday afternoon next at
four o'clock provided the weather is
good and if not then the first bright
day thereafter, for the purpose OF
selecting from the number sufficient
for good sized chorus. The opera
is a very fine one and the musical tai.
cnt in Canon will undoubtedly be
able to render it with good effect. Il
has sufficient drama in it to make il
appear well upon any stage. Whel
it ia produced we have no doubt any
hall selected ip which to give it will
be crowded.
