city. Many handsome residences have
been completed since the opening of
spring, and number Of others are
still under construction. ,acHson is.
behind no city of its size ihshek coun-
try in point of perseverance, I'd en-
terprise. Her people are fully alive
TO the development OF her interests,
both commercially and otherwise.
Capital aud immigration are pouring
in and are being coupled. and identi-
fed with the common interests OF
our people. Those who SOW have
charge Of the municipal. affairs, by
wise management, have placed our
city scrip at par. II was formerly
hard ae get it discounted at 20 per
cent. but now it is on an equal foot
ing with currency. Our present mu-
nicipal board IS very efficient, and we
hope their Efforts in future will be
crowned with = continuance Of such
happy results as they have met with
heretofore.
