STREETS TO BE IMPROVED.
Work to be Done in Main
and South Harper.

The city council has determined to
re-macadamize Main street between
Col. I'll. Y. Simpsons place on the west
side to the point where the new mac
adam begins on the east side. Council
has also determined to build a viaduct
or crossing on South Harper Street,
raising the level of the street to the
level of the railway tracks near Gray's
Shops, thus avoiding the steep hills on
both sides of the branch at that point.
1t is estimated that these improve
ments will absorb most OF the funds for
street improvement for the next two or
three years. They should add greatly
to. the value of the real estate along
these streets and hence to the taxable
values of the town.

Young Man was About 80
Years Old.
Tragedy Last Thursday Night at tho
Home Of his Brother in. this City
1t is Deeply Regretted.

John Taylor committed suicide by
shoe ing himself with a 3S caliber

OF his brother, Stephen Taylor. The

was instantaneous.
Mr.. Taylor was about 3S years old
and for q number of years had been a
fireman on tho q. 81 w. G. railway. He
had been in ill health for some time
and it is believed that dependency on
that account induced him TO kill him

fine character, have the deep sympathy
of the community In their trouble.
