10 be an easy one then the work will
be completed by the earlier date, but
even the worst OF weather will not dc.
lay 1t longer than July LIST.
1.-THE surveyors have completed
their work on the main line" said Nc,
Harlow, "and it is found that the
grade will be unusually light for this
section and a small number Of bridges
only will be required.
In the letting OF the contract the
company has insisted that a large
force of men be employed or the work

While the question Of the buildins
of a new Jail is being placed before
the public this fall it would be wise
to also submit the necessity of build
ing a substantial court house. The
building used at present is absolute

cracking and settling rapidly.
Several practical builders have
viewed the structure lately and pro-
nounce it unsafe. One gentleman ev-

TOM NICHOLS
Won His First Game Last
Evening In The
CHECKER CONTEST
Of The Nine Games Played
Eight Are Draws

Tom Nichols Of this city won his
first game last night in the checker
championship contest. 1t was the
ninth game in the contest and all the
others have been draws. A. N. Bailey
of Rutland. the checker champion of
the state, has yet to win game. In
all nine games have been played.
The games played yesterday were
the most stubbornly fought Of any
thus far. In the afternoon only two
games we're played owing to the play
erS deli rating longer on their moves
than in their games on the previous
day. Both games were draws, the
opening, being the Altman and Will
ter.
here was large attendance for
the evening games and those present
witnessed one of the most exciting
ing checker games imaginable.
The opening was the Soutor and ran
into one of the most critical variations
of this tricky game and, by beauti.
full piece OF work, Mr. Nichols secured
position where he captured man
and also retained a winning position,
but owing to mastery play OF Mr..
Bailey it required nearly an hour for
Mr.. Nichols to complete the win.
The score now stands eight draws and
one win.
The local checker men are expect
ing magnificent exhibition r. N
now on, as both men will certainly do
| their best.

Since being in the business here
Mr.. Holton has frequently changed
the location OF his business but always
for larger quarters, thus showing that
his business is always on the increase.

second floor of the Eastman block and
thence to the second floor Of the

was to the store Of W. Fl, Gale in the
