GRANDVIEW'!

I have just secured the exclusive
agency for the sale Of the tract of land
on Ninth Street, between John Street
and Emerson Avenue, extending East
several hundred feet, which has been
surveyed, plated and subdivided into
twenty COO lots; and the plat has been
accepted by the City Council.
This property is about 200 feet north
of Warren street, and there is brick
sidewalk leading up to it avoiding the
objection of MUD in bad weather.
There is not more desirable location
in Marietta to build a home:-good
neighborhood-an being on high
ground it commands a fine view of all
the city; is not infected with Malaria,
and the land slopes sufficiently to make
the natural sanitary conditions perfect.

Sues TO Recover Damages.

In the Court of Common Pleas the
case of Robert Mahoney against George
Carver has been filed. The plaintiff
claims that in July, 1899, in considera-
tion of the sum of $500 he purchased
from the defendant piece of property
consisting of twenty-one acres in New
port township which the defendan.
claimed was unincumbered, but on the
contrary, the plaintiff claims the land
was incumbered with a lease. The
plaintiff further claims that the prop
erty was damaged by the lease to the
extent of $65. for which amount he
prays for judgment. d. H. Thomas

BUILDING NOTES
What the Contractors Are Doing at the Site
Of The Court House,

The fine weather OF the past few
days has given the contractors an ex-
cellent opportunity which they have
improved to the utmost, to rush the
work on the court house. A large
force of men employed by the Ransome
Concrete Fire Proofing Co., of Cincin
natl, is engaged in doing the necessary
carpenter work preparatory to com
pleting the boxes by means of which
the cement floor is put in. This pro-
cess is novel and very ingenious. By
means of large wooden boxes, so con-
structed that when the cement, which
is placed between and on top of them,
has hardened they may be removed
without either delay or trouble. Sec
tions and 8 of the boxes have been
completed and section four is almost
finished. The contractors promise to
have the entire floor ready for occu-
pancy for spectators by next Tuesday.
The work of putting in the cement
would have been completed by this
time had not the non arrival of the
iron rods and beams which form a part
of the floor been delayed for some time.
The large derricks are being raised so
that they can be operated in swinging
the masonry from the ground to the
second floor.
Since the first of the week an expert
stone mason has been engaged in CHS
cling the inscription on the corner
stone. The work was finally complet-
ed yesterday and the characters which
will remain for century or more are
now engraved on the big stone.
AL lis hustle and activity around and
in the growing building and from the
present progress it seems evident that
Washington county wirlhave her court
house completed within the specified
time.
