improved as this one there would have
been quite a stirring up. Starting a

little cottage, adjoining Miss Lena
Brlght's reSidence-a little further
west Mr.. Rigney, assistant Cashier of
the Citizens National Bank, has erect
quite a considerable addition to his
house, and he now has handsome and
commodious dwelling. Crossing to the
North side of the street | notice a
substantial foundation being built out
of ROckcaStle stone by the PreSbyteri-

is to be built,-going still west on
same side of the street, notice a cot
tage of good size, and handsome ap-

bic, the druggist, and now occupied
by him as a residence. Crossing the
street to the South side and going
west some distance, l notice four new

character of our people. Here we find
a gate at the entrance that cost $500,
and all the grounds we'll kept and in |
