high foundation of brick, a well
arranged basement. while the rooms
above attract attention on account

yet in an unfinished condition,
enough is in evidence that when

and in which they can find much
enjoyment. To our mind nothing
speaks more for man than the
preparation and providing Of a good
home for himself and family. He
Is the citizen who can more generally
be relied upon when it comes to the
best interests of the town and it
isione Of the two things in life which
every man should have, the other is
Ia good wife.
