bottom OF the old Singly foundation,
and brick are uncarthed that have not

like this.
We suggest to the proprietor who is
having the buildings erected on the
Singley site, that they be uniform
with the Wright new buildings. This
will be eminently right, We will then
have a new Mollohon which will re-
fleet credit on Newbcrry. and a Phm-
nix will have arisen ont Of the ashes. OF
which We will be proud.
