Improvements on Town Hall.


The town hall has received its three
coats of paint, and the clock is in the
tower and struck the hour Tor the hrst
time Thursday at 4 p. m. Concord may
we'll take pride in its town house. 1t is
built upon honor. The finish in the in
terror is of Southern pine, with hard
wood floors. The basement is COM
modious and will be used as store
house Tor sleighs and carriages. We can
truthlully say in this instance, that
"there is no great loss without some
small gain" for ii the old bell had not
burned we should never have had a new
one although the old one had long been
a disgrace to the town. We should never,
or probably never, have possessed a
town clock, as after the burning OF the
old one. Mr.. Judevine suggested that If
the town would build new hall, he
would give as a memorial to himself and
wife, four dial clock, and it is safe to
say that every one within sound OF the
clock striking Thursday lifted up his
thoughts il not his voice in gratitude to
Mr.. and Mrs. Judevine, through whose
munfcence we are to enjoy this blessing
for years to come.
