TOWN HALL SOLD.
Colonel Thomas w. Smith and Major
{. w. Wright and wife to-day sold the
old Town Hail. at Market and Main
streets, to Mrs. Mamie Il. Smith. The
price was $1,000.

City Hall Theatre il was closely assoc

once the principal theatre. and many
persons can remember how they re-
garded with pride the bright. new
scenery, now ragged and faded. Since
being abandoned as place of amuse-
ment and market house. the building
has been used ms a dance hall and for
political purposes.
