The stone cutting on the city hall
goes quite slow now as the wock is
very intricate, but we believe it is the
prettiest front in town. They will
finish the stone work next week.
The street i'm the vicinity of the
court house has been leveled off and is
now in elegant shape. The crossing
of the b. & M. has been newly planked
and with the new stone bridge things
look very decent indeed.
Il. +. Connor and H. A. GODDARD will
leave tonight for the Worlds fair to
be gone a week or ten days. Their
wives are both there and the boys
couldn't stand it any longer. Mrs.
GODDARD will most likely return with
them but Bob doesn't know whether
he can persuade Mrs. Connor to come
home yet or not.

tate agents, made two good sales of

The Hot Springs band had meet
ing last night when it was unanimous
li agreed to di,band. This leaves the
town without any martial music
of any kind and our town will sorely
/, feel the loss of it this summer in case
OF excursions. We are sorry for it,
but we can t blame the boys. 1t takes
time to practice and get out and play.
much money has been laid ont for uni
forms, Instruments, etc. They haven't t
even had as much as a ''thank YOU
| for what they have done so far and it
will probably be just right to let our
people see how it goes to be without a
musical organization of this kind.
