The spirit of improvement is not con-
fined to any particular portion of our
pleasant village. The dsellings owned
by Mrs. W. B. L. Smith are being i'm
proved; Martin Merrill, near the $ dry
BRIDGE" has made improvements about
his buildings; also Lyman Partridge,
who has made an addition of several
rooms to his cottage. Lemuel Rogers
house and barn have each received a
'ssummer coat" which is also good for
a number of winters; and Miss Anna
Hacketts cottage presents an ideal APP
pearance since the painters under the
supervision of Mr.. Comstock gave it a
new coloriug. The neatly kept walks,
the Towering shrubs and the over-arch-
ing vines make it indeed an ideal cottage.
George Cushing has also been making
repairs. He has one of the best gardens
to be found in this vicinity.
