MYSTIC
Block as 1t Stands-News from the
Societies-Personal Briefs.

Many rumors have been in circula-
ton as to what would be done with
the Central Hall block. Thursday
building would not be built up again,
but that roof would be placed over
the first story and that the seven
stores would all be modelled over and
fixed up for rental. Mr.. Morgan
stated that the building was not for
sale nor had he thought that any
time he would sell it, There are five
owners in the block. and all are of the
same opinion, but it certainly would
be a great improvement to the town
to have the old one torn down and
a new one put in it's place. This is
the third time the block has burned
and the owners do not feel like try
ing it again.

a thirty foot cliff rising almost perpendicu-

rocks at the foot of the cliff, and then
began hard climb to the summit.
Even when We reached the top of the
cliff our troubles did not end. We found
ourselves in grass almost shoulder high.
