and supplies both tenements with hot
and cold water. These tenements are
occupied by L. H. Fullerton, who
moved here from Barton Landing and
is employed in the Union Bobbin
Works, land Mr.. SWEET from Montgom-
cry, who is employed at the same
place. This property of Mr.. Tuck's is
situated where it commands a nice
view of the lake and surrounding
country, and not too high to be sup
piled by the new system Of water.
In the spring, G. F. Ranney sold
his old house on the corner of Main
and Bayview Sts., to w. III. Curtis,
who moved it to vacant lot near his
own residence, and now Mr.. Ranney
is enjoying the comforts of nice new
house on the old site, which is one Of
the best residences in the place. He
has all the modern Improvements
electric lights and steam heat.
L. J. Phelps purchased a lot on
Sum ner ST. on which he has built a
nice comfortable house. That, with
the M. E. parsonage, which is on the
same street, just in the rear of the
M. E. church, fills up that side of the
street, which was laid out only two
years ago. The NJ. E. society has
been prospered during the five years
that Rev. A. L. Cooper has been here,
having thoroughly repaired their
church and built parsonage.
Thomas Flemming moved his house
on Lake St. to vacant lot joining the
old site and has built large new
house, which stands at the head of
the street, facing Main St., making a
fine location and commanding a view
of the lake for several miles. The old
house he has made into two tenements
which are very desirable.
G. II. Flint purchased of DR.. @. V.
Bogue what was known as the Fetch
er honse and tin shop, on Main st.
Later he purchased lot of @. E. Ran
ney on BayvieW ST. and moved the
shop and thoroughly repaired and fin
ished it and now has four nice tene
ments heated by coal furnace. These
tenements are occupied by Tyler
Streeter and Mr.. Watch, two r. r.
men, and James Peters and Homer
Farrar, who work in the Gilman store.
On Pleasant ST. we find that w. B.
Hyer has built a nice barn at his resi-
dence, and o. Sabreau has has built a
shop and barn.
Mrs. A. w. Browns house, on the
been moved to Third st. and the
north end has been changed into a
store, which is occupied by E. r. Scott
& Son for wall paper and paints, with
tenements overhead, occupied by
Miss Lindsay and Miss Black. The
south end is finished into tenement,
and in it Chas. Briggs will be found.
Horace Davenport & Son are build
ing a new house on the old site, which
is conceded by all as being one of the
best locations in the place, and when
the new house is finished, it is expect
ed to be as fine a residence as there Is
in town. In the west end, we find
that Martin Norton has built a small,
but comfortable house. lsaut-m7d
The village fathers have improved
our sidewalks by repairing and laying
new concrete, having paid out 900
in this way. The curbing has been
put in next to the street and some fill
ing done, so that in the spring it is
expected a small park will be com
pleted near the depot. We have been
highly favored as far as fires have
fair chance to try the new electric
fire alarm. While these improve
ments have been made, our citizens
have been up to time in the minor re-
pairs, painting, shingling, grading, etc,
which goes to show the thrift of the
place, which will swell the improve
meuts to about $40, OCO for tale year
1895.
In going outside of the village, we
would mention J. r. Prouty's new set
of farm buildings. These, with his
newly cleared farm, make his place
valuable.
julius Richards has built a barn,
which was much needed to hold the
hay which his farm produces. ]. r.
Cutting has also built a large barn in
the west part Of the town.
While we are limited for room to
build on, our business men have had
.'push' (not of the western kind and
the Newport Board of Trade went over
into Derby and bought forty acres of
the Arnold farm, paying $4,000. Three
acres were sold to Messrs E. A.Smith
& Co. of Providence, r, L., on which a
dressing mill is being built, which will
