Manchester Cloth Market.

Manchester. December 1s.--During the week few orders for light cloths of spe- cial qualities have been executed for China and India at fractional declines, but merchants are still adopting a eau tious attitude while manufacturers are firm in view of the dearness of cotton. The weeks turnover, therefore, has been small.
 In yarns the bushes was again disap- pointing. The United States department of agriculture's report on the cotton crop made spinners firm in thelr terms early in the week, but the demand was pure 1y of retail character and barely suf- icient to absorb the production of the curfAiled week and values closed un- changed.

Traer, May 12-Traer is to have a
new school house, and the old one,
which was built when Traer was first
started. is to be torn down, having
become entirely inadequate to suit the
needs of the town. Several years ago
the building became so crowded that
it was necessary to purchase an old
store building and move 1t onto the
school grounds, fixing 1t up for one
of the grade rooms. The past year the
building became too crowded once
more. and it was either purchase an
other building, or build a new school
house. The proposition was talked
over, and majority of the voters of
Traer presented signed petitions to the
board. asking that they take up the
matter of the erection of a new 5000
school house, and that tax be levied
not to exceed 2h mills. The matter
was then gone over by the board, and
Monday, May /, set as election day at
the town hall, for the purpose of vot-
ing on the proposition. All residents OF
Traer, including ladies over 81 years
Of age, We're allowed to vote. The
grades of the high school Joined in
marching club, headed by the Traer
high school band and marched thru
out the city, reminding the citizens
that election day was at hand.
There was scarcely any opposition
to the movement, and the proposition
carried by POI majority Eighty-one
votse were cast by the ladies', and 159
votes by the men. BY Jan. 1, next year,
it is proposed that we shall have one
of the best school houses in Iowa, in
our class.

MANY EFFORTS BEING PUT
FORTH TO IMPROVE OUTDOOR
APPEARANCE OF CITY.
CITY PARK RECEIVING
THE MOST ATTENTION
Has Been Filled to Depth Of Over q
Foot, and Will Be Seeded to Grass,
to Insure the Growth Of Which, tho
Park Will Probably Not Be Used
This Summer.
Special to Tfmes-Republican.


Hampton, May 12-There have prob
ably been few times in the past,
when more things were being done at
one time for the identifying Of the APP
pearance of Hampton, than have been
in progress here this spring. Since the
completion of the paving Job last fall.
the efforts for other Improvements
have been halted only by the severe
winter weather, and even then, plans
were being made and funds raised for
identifying Hampton out-of- doors.
The city park was filled to depth
Of over foot last fall, much of the
material being that taken off the
streets to give place for the paving.
This material has been given top
dressing of better dirt, the whole care
fully smoothed and raked over, and put
in the best possible condition. Last
week the entire block was sown to
grass seed, and all carefully raked in
by hand, and it now presents the APP
pearance OF a we'll seeded garden. To
prevent the tender plants from being
trodden on and ruined, tight wire
fence has been built around the block
and will probably remain all summer.
While this will prevent the use of the
park entirely this summer, it is prob
ably the only way to get the new
grass started in good shape.
Workmen were also engaged last
week in raking and seeding the little
park along the Fifth street side of
the court house block, and this too is
expected to change its appearance
from bare ground to a beautiful green
in a few weeks.
The Yankee Doodle Club is planning
still further and substantial improve
ments for the city park, among which
will probably be cement walks each
way thru the park, and a fountain in
the centers. A curb was constructed
entirely around it last fall. Another
permanent improvement has been ar
ranged for by another society, and it
is likely that within a few weeks their
efforts will have succeeded.
To add to all this, the city council
has not failed to provide for the syste-
matte sweeping of the new pavement
during the summer, and the carting
away of the litter that accumulates
there. Lewis christensen has been en-
ployed, and If he is unable to keep
ahead Of the deposits of rubbish, ample
help will be given him.
