as the necessities OF tenants may require
Plummer d Son will do the mason work and
Harris Butterield the carpenter work. The
stores are TO be ready for occupation from the
first to the middle Of September
We are glad to know that W. +. Rvther Of
Bernardston has had plans drawn by G. A
Hines for a new building to take the place Of
his old arcade. Mr.. Rythers active life was
intimately associated with Brattleboros AZ
fairs, and it would undoubtedly be a satisfac-
ton to him as 1t would be to all his old
friends here, to see q good building 90 up on
his property as the monument Of his declin.
ing years. The erection of such a building
would close the entire gap between The Pho.
nix Office and the Vermont Savings bank, and
we hope Mr.. Ryther may see his way clear
to 20 on with the work.
