A new cement walk is being laid in
front of w. NJ. Fairs residence on
South Broad street, and will be great
improvement over the old walk. The

as possible, which will cause the pub
lie to be thankful. An uneven stone
walk is better than no walk, perhaps,
bnt that is about all that can be said
in its favor, and all in the city should
be torn up and replaced with some
thing better. DR.. Webster will lay a
cement walk in front of his South
Broad street lot.
