MARKED improvements.

Marked improvements.
1t has been manv years since so many
and such marked improvements in the
way of building have been in progress
in this city. A, half hour stroll on Mon
day evening through the southeastern
portion OF the city served to show an
activity which was as gratifying as un-
expected.
The John NJ. Ried market building is
rapidly approaching completion. 1t is a
notable improvement to Main-st.. and
will make an attractive room for the
purposes to which it will be devoted.
L. l.. Fisher has given his buildingSon
Main-st., corner of Fourth, a complete
overhauling. 1t is the only building at
On the corner OF Pine and Fourth-sts.,
Ferdinand Bergman has begun the erec-
tion of pretty brick residence. He has
removed the building formerly on the
site to the rear of the lot and will fit it
over for stable. He has a crew of
men at work. The brick will be laid by
F. A. Pangburn and the woodwork
done by A. L. Sunderland. The dimen-
sions of the building are 2Sx32 feet.
On the adjoining lot Thos. Lynch is
putting up good residence. He has
the cellar walls completed, and the work
will be finished as rapidly as a consider
able force Of mechanics can push it.
On the corner south, in the same
block, Mr.. NJ. F. Woodbury. is making
great improvements to his residence.
He has removed the south wing back
and hlled the angle, adding large
amount of room to his house. Exter
nally he has improved it's appearance
greatly.
T. L. Mccormick, in the same row,
has made number of minor improve
ments about his house and grounds.
adding very much to appearances.
In the next biloxi, Vim. Scherfbus has
filled the lot owned by him, bringing II
fully up to the street grade, and will
otherwise improve it.
David Cleveland is giving his house
coat of paint, and is travelling with the
procession along the line OF improve
ments.
. Ormus Marshall has built an addition
to the rear of his pretty home, which
gives him more room.
On the street next east-BirchAt.,-
George Gray has practically built new
house. He purchased the south halt of
the D. R. Jackson property, and moved
the little house that was on it to the
rear, using it as kitchen, and has put
mp very neat and pretty home.
William Van Valkenburg,' who pur-
chased the beautiful lot corner OF Main
and Seventh-sts., has set out a row OF
trees along both fronts, and w. d.
Townsend, who owns the lot east of
him, has done the same.
Across the street, north, c. M. Boss
mas made vast inn rovement. Not only
has he built handsome home, but he
has improved the lot, setting out va
riety of shade trees, grated and seeded
the lot. and otherwise improved the
place. He is making an experiment
which will be watched with interest
He has some thrifty young horse-chestnut
trees growing nicely. These trees fur
ther south and east, grow rapidly, make
a dense shade and are verv beautiful the
entire season. They have large white
blossoms, the leaves are large and of a
rich green, and the nuts, while valneless,
are very pretty. If Mr.. Boss succeeds
in cultivating these trees successfully
Others will follow and fine addition
will be made to our variety of ornamen-
al trees.
On the corner of Main and Sixth SITS.
F. A. Pangburn is already at work on
brick residence. He has the kitchen,
nearly finished. and the celler, large
oval one, completed. He may suspend
work for himself for time while exc
cutting other contracts, but he will fin
isl his house as soon as possible.
DIR. Rich is introducing the water into
his home for domestic uses.
No effort has been made to give any
exhaustive account of the Improvements
in progressively such as fell under the
observation of the writer while taking
recreative walk, and the activity mani
tested could not fail to arrest attention.
And other sections of the city are not
idle.
