promptly and in earnest last Saturday morn
ing, when Roadmasier Clark put q shovel
brigade Of 20 men at work there. Their Cd.
erations have been continued as the weather
has permitted, ever since, and great change
has already been wrought in that much

been kept at work TO carry OF the rubbish,
and It almost surpasses belief to see the

century have been dug out and carried OF,
and this fact tells the story for itself The

then the improvement will begin to take def.
mite shape.
