With the coming of spring comes the
fact that cur little city will add several
new residences to its already fine list.
Mr.. jackson has the stone on the site
for a handsome new residence on West
Main street, while Mr.. Musser's house
on the same street is about completed.
j. M. Goodrich has had the front OF
his barber shop repainted which adds
greatly to its appearance.
The barn owned by Barney Tyson,
which burned on last Wednesday night
will be rebuilt at once. This is an
other proof of the need of fire protec-
tion in this place. Had the wind been
blowing it might have left many of our
fine residences lying in a heap of ashes.

ming last at the K. of p. opera house,

programme consisted of vocal and in
strumental music, concluding with a

ladies netted a neat sum which will go
for the benefit of their order.
