the extreme end Of north Main street,
thus completing the pavements OF that
street We can now boast Of as well
payed Main street as any town or city IN
the state. The pavements are on an easy
Grade. Of the very best hard brick and
unusually wide. a number of other streets
are partially paved in the same way and

their fall blowing and rushed ahead with
all spead to get in the last grain Of wheat.
The afternoons saw our streets crowded
with promenaders, all striving to get every
pleasure ont Of what might prove the last
