Our TOwn.-The improvements in va.
rious sections of our town are progressing
finely, and when all completed will add
much to the beauty of the place.
F The new residence of Mr. w. w. Welsh,
near the railroad depot, is under roof and
will soon be in the hands of the pasterers
and painters When completed it will be
quite an ornament to that rapidly improv-
ing section Of the town.
The finishing touches are about being
put on the large carriage mandatory and
warerooms Of Mr., r. A. Bogley, in the same
section of the town, and when in operation
it will add much to the business of the
place.
Mr.. W. L. Humphrey, with force of
hands, is diligently engaged in remodeling
the old Davis property on Montgomery av-
enue, recently purchased by him, and prom
ises to make it one of the most comfortable
places on this street.
DIR. ID. F. Owens, next door to the latter,
not to be outdone by his neighbors, has
treated his handsome drug store to new
coat OF paint, and IL now looks as nice and
fresh as pretty girl in a new Spring hat.
A large force of mechanics and laborers
are husly engaged in the erection of the
new hotel of Mr.. w. H. Carr. The tim
bers of the main building are being raised
and should the weather prove favorable the
whole frame will be in position next week.
After that no time will be lost as Mr.. C. is
anxious to complete the structure in time
to accommodate summer boarders.
Work on the Montgomery House is being
rapidly pushed forward, and another story
with Mansard roof has been added to it,
The floors and ceilings have been raised,
the rooms enlarged, and the brick front will
be handsomely painted and penciled. When
completed, which will be in short time, it
will he handsome and comfortable house.
In addition to the above many of our cit
liens are engaged in repairing hons es, paint
ing and fixing up generally.

Old Traditions.

There Is an old tradition that Christ
was born about midnight. From this,
bells are rung ut midnight n England
and on the Continent. In ISman Cath
Ole countries ii has long l3cn CUSTOM

celebration Of a midnight mass, Which
Is followed by one at dhwn and apoth-
or In the morning. ID was an old En-
glish superstition that lon Christina, eve.
the X Z were always to lie fOurd on.
their knees at midnight; that the socks
crew; that the cabbage seeded, etc.
The devotion of the txn was dtrr,el
from an old story that nm OK arS ass,
which were in the stable ut thf birth
of Christ, fell on their knees in 4 sup
plant position, and that q COZ crew.
The custom of singing carols nChrist-
mas. which has passed into oblivion, is
said to have sprung from thcsongs of
shepherds and others at the birth Of
Christ. The common customiof dec
