AN IMPORTANT WORK.
FROM THE CEMETERY TO
RIVERSIDE.
Important work Going on at
two Extremes OF the City,
Riverside and
f-ompSpry

This time discarding his wauken-
phasts, and seated in a road cart,
drawn by a stylish horse, a PIONEER
reporter visited the new cemetery at
West Bridgeton, and also inspected
things at Riverside. 1t is just a mile
to the new cemetery from Grosscup's
corner because at that point q mile
board has been buried by that wide
awake clothing merchant, and it is
we'll worth anyone's while totravel that
mile to see what important work is 60
ing on under the direction Of the
Bridgeton Cemetery company. Had
it not rained to-day, a most import.
ant part of the work would have been
finished up-that of gravelling and
grading. Pretty much all of this work
has been finished and another day will
find eli the driveways in excellent con-
dition. Monday, the reporter saw
scores of carts going to and from the
gravel pit on the north of the road.
The diggers have made large excava-
put to most excellent use. The sides
of the drives have all been rounded
off with turf. and at given points
pretty evergreens have been planted
all along the roads, 1t is a pretty
sight, and H most needed improvement
for this city.
After carefully inspecting all ths,
the reporter turned his trotter's head
toward Riverside, and in "a moment,
possibly more, the pencil shaver vas
talking with contractors Bond and
Mulford, at Selb's factory. Brick
work upon the main building had been
necessarily stopped, while the carpen-
ters put in the heavy floor joists. and
the brick masons filled in the time
putting foundation under the Office,
recently removed there from Get
singers glass house property Ii the
rain ceases to-day, the raasous will
again throw brick Ga the walls OF the
factory building.
Contractor Lemuel johnson is push
ing. work on his contract down by the
river. His men are now running up
the brick walls of the main building,
the boiler room and the machine
apartments are about finished, so far
as the masons are concerned, and car
penters were yesterday putting up the
heavy timbers for the roof. From.
present appearances the work will
most likely be finished by the first of
1899

This week it is more than probable
that cellars will be dug for two new
houses down at Riverside. W. H.
Bacon has sold several of the 5000 lots
offered in another column, and dwell
ing houses will be Immediately erected
there. Communications have been re-
ceived by Mr.. Bacon from out of town
parties, who ere desirous of building

Riverside bids fair to be pretty gener-

A GOOD OUTLOOK.
Prospects Of Trade For the Year
1850

The commercial outlook for 1889 is
most favorable. 1t is conceded by ex
perienced men in every line of trade
that the present general activity will
give an impulse to the business of the
coming year. This has been an ''off
year. The reasons therefore are eyj-
dent and are of such character that
the very fact is guarantee for great
er volume of trade next year. At tie
verJ outset of the present year, trade
received black eye, but not because OF
any abnormal condition of business.
The spring output of goods was inter
fered with and trade DESTROYED because
of the heavy and incessant rains of
April and May. The political conven-
tlons followed immediately there
after, and the excitement of
Presidential campaign had its inoep-
ION and continued to augment until
its climax was reached last month. IT
is generally admitted that less intsrfer-
ence with the business of the country
was caused by this Presidential cam
paign than by past ones, suii its in
huence has been materially fel5. As
natural result large amount of goods
has been held over and reluains un-
sold, bat is ready for the first move
that is made in the market. In many
respects the year has been Il fine one,
and the undercn"rent of business has
been firm. Crog> have been large.
The returns made to the Department
of Agriculture indicate this. The corn
and potato crops will furnish excellent
Illustrations. Taking this as guide,
the merchants may feel very good
over the prospects of the coming year.
The PIONEER hopes that it NAV be a
successful one
