THE foundation of the new Union
improvement company's building is
Of brick. The base is of heavy stone,
but above them is very wide brick
wall, which will make a smooth,

ment, although this is the first one
that has been built here.

The municipal election will be
held on Thursday, Jan. 3. Care has
been taken this year for candidates
to comply strictly to the spirit and
letter of the new election law. 1t will
be remembered that this was not
done last year, and while the officers
now serving received majorities, they
were not legally elected, but in order
to hold their places legally they were
appointed one by one by the retiring
council, as they resigned one by one.
No trouble of that kind this year.

suit about division of real estate left
by the father. One is Joseph Gapen
