Especial Correspondence,
The pristine beauty Of Navarro aven.
ue-Main ssreet-is ut present badly
marred. 1t is, however, but the tenn
porary Disagreement that delights the
progressive eye, the necessary debris
that mark the milestones in the
city's march to civic greatness.
One side of the street is strewn for a
half mile with brick awaiting the trowel
of the artisan. It took 400 loads of
Drayman w. Boyes' wagon to cart
them from the cars to the street, ready
for the brick masons who will shortly
begin laying brick sidewalks with them.
There is sufficient brick to make over
half mile of sidewalk; when that is
laid all the principal streets of Hamp-
ton will have brick sidewalks. The city
fathers are accomplishing wonders with
tax rate of only eight mills on the
dollar.
Real estate transactions have been
markedly active in Hampton the past
week. w. G. Seals has made the fol-
lowing sales: w. G. Seals to B. Y.

Mr.. Saxon will at once erect cottage
residences for rent on this property.

six lots on Florida avenue, one of the
prettiest residence thoroughfares Of the
city. It is expected that Judge Hilton
will also build ON this property.
w. G. Seals to J. NJ. Maxwell, five
lots ON Pine street. The purchaser will
probably also improve this property.
w. G. Seals to ]. H. Swillie, lot of
block 80. This lot is on Georgia street.
Mr.. Swlllie, the purchaser, is q nom
resident and has acquired the property
to build upon, it is supposed.

at Hampton, sold her residence ON Ma
varre avenue here this week to merchant
8. r. Johns. She also transferred lot IA
of block IA to the same person.
