The Portland street sidewalk is
completed to the depot, and every
body Except the west side) smiles
broadly over the Improvement. Mr..
Moore is still laying pavement in va
riOus parts of town, and we may see
the village paved down yet before

this region and will probably remain

DR.. H. D. Martin, the eye specialist,

Andrus' great painting ''Sheridan's
Ride" was exhibited here Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings to fair-sized
audiences. People did not seem to
wake up to realize the pleasure await
ing them until too late. Had the
picture remained here a day or two
longer we believe there would have
been a large attendance. That We
have born artist in Mr.. Andrus
right here within the state, this pic
ture attests. The portraits of many
prominent officers are easily recog-
nized, while in the different express
sions on the faces the artist seems to
have caught the spirit of the day and
put it upon the canvas. "The An
gelus," which was also on exhibition,
is a finely executed copy of that
famous painting Those who at
tended were well pleased, and nearly
everyone expressed a wish that the
paintings might be brought here
again in a short time.
