We are likely to sse the end Of q good
work commenced some months ago
In Keytesville. Early in the spring
the owners Of the property on the

corner, commsncsd the long needed
improvement OF rspairing the side
walk along that block. But It pro-
eresssd slowly. First one and then
another property owner compIst-
ID his part OF ths work. A few
weeks ago IL had gone ~ far
a. the corner OF the building
occupied by the Ksytesvills Msrcan-

morning the good work was resum-
ed. On that day the entire remain
