During the week a force of workmen
have been engaged tearing down the old
frame building on south Bank street,
occupied for two score years past by
Frederick Brinkman and family. The
building is probably the Oldest one in town,
its erection dating back almost or quite a
century. In its place will be erected a neat
frame building with all modern convent
ences. The improvement is a commendable
one and will enhance the appearance of
the lower end.
Gloom was cast over The household of

sorrow.
