Towns well-known architect and builder,
at his newly fitted up office on North Charles
street. and while there were shown the
drawings for the improvements to the resi-
dence at Hon. Geo. R. Vending, recently
purchased of the Keerl heirs in the western
section Of our town. The old house is to
have a ten-foot story added, the interior is
to be remodeled, with handsome Queen
Anne stairway and new roof with dormer
windows. A porch ten feet wide will span
the entire front Of the house and a handsome
porte cOchere is to be placed at the south
west end Of the building. A new wing is
also to be added on the southwest end l6xl6
feet with bathroom and other conyeniences,
the contemplated improvements amounting
TO almost new house. Mr.. Holmes is en-
toying quite a reputation as an architect,
and the drawings shown Us, although gotten
up quite hurriedly as we were informed,
gave evidence Of much painstaking care and
were admirably executed With master
builder like J. c. Holmes, whose taste in
architectural designs and faultless execution
of work is second to none in the State, We

it is upon one of the highest eminences

From recent action on the part of some
of the youth of the Wildwood neighborhood,
in Clarke county, it strikes US as place for
the strong arm of the law to be felt. A
young man, returning from dance, during
Christmas week, had eight shots fired at him
from ambush by two youngsters whose en-
nifty he had incurred, and the only satisfac-
ton he could obtain was that of dressing
them down" in rather neat shape. The pa
rents of these young disciples of Hat6elds
and McCoys,-among the most prominent
people in the county,-should use cow
hide or the back of hair brush on por-
ton of the youthful anatomy; or else the
public should take the matter in its own
hands.
