The Street Committee acted wisely
in ordering the recent repaving of Ninth
street, now one Of the city's thorough
fares, through which, from Main to
Broad, the largest passing Of any cross
street is made, and the street-cars have
fair grade up this street as well as
down Eighth street, the street next west
of it. The Manchester street-railway
meets the Richmond Main and Broad
streets lines just at their junction from
Eighth and Ninth with Nam street, and
all are convenient to the new MON depot,
the new Mozart Hall, and like improve
ments, and to the Capitol Square and
buildings.
Recent sales Of lots on Ninth and
Main streets property owned SO long
by the Masonic Temple Association in
dicate growing interest in this portion
of the city, and we observe as asssture
of note the sale to-day Of the property
on Ninth and Eighth streets that was

Department, q site Of historical remi-
niscence familiar to hundreds of thou.

cation was, before it was 50 used by the
Confederate Government, the Me-

be remembered, and some day may be.

or more delegates. The reason for re-
questing the hotel assignment was in
most cases the wish to bring wife,

boarding houses here take one or more
delegates free and offer special rates to
other delegates, the hotels take no dele
