Messrs. McIntire and Letherbury,
lessees of the Opera House, deserve
great credit for providing such popu-
lar and high-class attractions for the
amusement loving public as have
appeared since the opening of the
season. 1t is their intention of pro-
viding nothing but first class plays,
and at frequent intervals throughout
the winter, and our. citizens generally
should encourage them by attending.
A social dance was given by Miss
Bessie Reynolds to her young friends
on Monday evening. Among those
present were the Misses Helen Nau-
dain, Edith and Blanche Crow, Edna
Frazier, Allie Mckee, Edith Reynolds,
Emma Jones, Viola Ennis, Edith Der

- The six dwelling houses on Green
treet which contractor 2. T. Bradley |
las erected for Mrs. F. e. lCpmegys |
we're completed on Saturday. These
louses were rented before they were
completed and on Monday the tenants |
ook possession. Quite a large |
lumber of dwellings are in demand |
md the lot-holders on Green and |
'ther streets in town, should profit by |
drs. Comegys' experience and i'm
'rove their property now that a safe |
eturn on their investment is assured
hem. The best evidence Of towns
prosperity is the building of new
lwelling houses and Middletown
hould not turn prospective citizens
way for lack of dwelling accomoda-
ions. There are plenty of vacant
DTS here, there is an abundance of
die capital, but the spirit of progress
nd improvement that should domi-
ate the citizens who are in a position
o make the necessary improvements
GEMS to be wanting. We must not
low a single person or family to be
urned away from Middletown for
yant of Accommodations, for in the
ew corners is the hope of the COM
lnnity. Let the holders of the lots
n the various streets build houses
nd improve the town and there will
e no lack of tenants.
