buildings or improvements which cost
less than 81 900 aud it is safe to say
that before the year 1891 is closed the
building record will be swelIed to a
half million dollars. Business houses,
residences, and in fact buildings for

citizens should take great pride. Mer.

reap;ng profit on the increase of
value that is sure to come soon.
This year there will be more people
visiting Sedalia than ever before and
it behooves the citizens to send them

knocking at the gates, railroads are
coming, business enterprises are start.
