beauty that has been given us by the
Traction company and beautifled with
the assistance OF the ladies OF the

The ladies Of the City occupy uni
que position In the picture Of our pro.

wonders. In addition to the beautiful

nearly $4,000, which will forever stand
as monument to the zeal and success
