The frame work on L. M. Jaco's

ley is well under way.
The foundation of Frank Bannis-
ter's residence on Main street is
nearly completed.
The frame of the Dusenberry

streets is done and the slate roof
put on.
Rev Jones new house on Wiles
street is almost ready for occupan
cy.
The rush to begin new houses is
beginning to slacken up little ow-
ing to the uspal midsummer dull
ness but is expected to shortly be-
gin again. However it will take
some time to finish up the houses
already under way and no cessation
in the demand for labor is expected
until far into the winter when con-
ditions may have changed so that
even then there will be no falling off.
