IHpRoyEMENTs.-With the advent
Of spring work among the mechanics
commenced to brisk up in all sections,
and the unusual number of new
buildings that have sprung up in every
town and village in this State during
the past few months has been as
tonishing. Frostburg has not been
behind in this matter either, for very
early indeed did our capitalists and,
those who had "laid by mite" start
forward to put in their best strokes
in erecting neat, comfortable and in
some instances elegant residences to
sdorn the town. In the coming fall
months we are promised more of the
same kind. What we need badly,
however, is for our moneyed men
to build dozen or SO neat cottages
for our summer visitors. In the
winter and fall months they could
be rented advantageously and during
the summer season the citizens of the
larger cities would eagerly grasp at
them. We guarantee that in a
short time they would pay for them
selves.
Among the recent improvements
we append the following:
Work has commenced in earnest
on tile M. E. Church, South, both ends
having additions built to them
the rear part having II feet added
with a recess l0x3, the front with q
vestibule 1876 feet. When the build
ing is completed we shall give it an
extended notice.
The new bridge across Hanekamp's
run at Homecoming is being built.
1t will make fine and lasting i'm
provement.
John Pfeiffer, Esq, has recently
put substantial roof on his kitchen.
The new dwelling house of John
FRESHMAN, Esq. on Grant street is
nearly completed.
Mr.. William Thomas is having his

The Lookup has been freshly white
washed, and "looks as neat as new
