Sidewalks.

1t must certainly be apparent to anyone
who has occasion to travel around the
city daily that the sidewalks of Rock ISL
and. generally speaking, are not what
they should be, 1t is true that here and
there good sidewalk may be found, but
taken as a whole, the sidewalks of this
city are about as bad as it is possible to
get them and have any walks at all .
They should be repaired before winter
sets in, when the frequent coverings of
snow will make them double dangerous.
New sidewalks in the future should also
be made of uniform height. This thing
of one man building an elevated sidewalk
on stills, and his next door neighbor
planting his sidewalk in the ground is all
wrong. 1t dangerous to the lives and
limbs of pedestrians and gives the streets
an ungainly appearance. Fix the side

A Handsome Chair.

with very handsome rattan chair, a pres

Carriage Company have begun the mans
ufacture of these handsome chairs. They
are spacious, handsome and durable, and
must soon win their way to popularity.
They are of new and unique design and
very easy to sit in. The workmanship is
very fine, and the chair is so braced as to
make it firm supporter of every other
part Besides making the chairs the Car
riage Company is daily turning out large
numbers of childrens' carriages which
have long since become very popular
throughout the country. We are glad to
see the company prosper. 1t is made up
of live business men who are doing all in
their power to spread the fair fame of
Rock Island abroad, and to build up a
legitimate business enterprise. May they
prosper so that an enlargement of their
building will soon be necessary in order
to SUPPLY the demand for their substantial
wares.
