NJ. L. church of this city is now said to
be the finest Methodist church In the
Rock Island district" Just wait little,
neighbor. until the ediflce now in course
of construction in Rock Island is com
pleted. and then you won't brag SO much.
And now some one has heArtlessly de.
clsred that the Union has bargained for
all the sand that has been taken of the
pavement and the new Second avenue
sidewalks. the cold weather having
threatened freeze up of the river. Blu,

Of our city. then it turns of north and
heads for Shadow Lake. Yet we are in
for the canal. and would give as high as
$50 to have il dug next summer GEM
