abuse through and through in the
following approved style:
"When Henry S. Walker was
appointed Secretary of State, it was
generally understood that he would
feather his own nest during his
term. Sure enough he blindfoIded
the Legislature during the last
days Of the session of 1887 and

IMPROVE YOUR PROPERTY.

There is a /" heap" of paint need
ed on houses in Martinsbucg, and
when buildings are erected, especial
IL for stores or dwellings, they ought
to be large, substantial and attrac-
tive. The day Of one story houses
has passed. Land is too high, and
it costs no more for site to build
up in the air than 1t does to erect
one story structure. Upon this point
the Scientific Am sricdn remarks that
{" whoever owns a town lot rs apt to
be looking forward to the time when
he will erect upon it dwelling, and
at first blush he thinks he will be
satisfied with n house of extremely
moderate cost. This might be the
correct thing to do if only his present
monetary affairs we're to govern, but
there are other considerations that
should not be overlooked. Perhaps
the property is your chief possession
and you may have reason while you
live to wish its value were increased.
You may need to rent or sell it or
your children who scome after you
may be obliged to do so. Which do
you think will most Increase the
value of the property-a poorly
built, cheap house, or a substantial,
attractive and comfortable one 7
Which will sell the easiest? Which
will rent for the mosti Which tends
to raise the value of property in
community-goOd aud tasteful
dwellings or fiimsy aud common
looking concerns 7 We say to every
lot owner, when you set about the
improvement of your property, do
your level best to put up good
building, for when completed it is
there to stay and will give you salts
faction. A first class house is almost
like a deposit of gold in a sound
bank. You can always sell 1t or
rent it at the highest market price.
Everybody wants to live in good
house nobody desires poor one."
