ter, appearing at Seaver's opera hall
Wednesday evening of last week was
pronounced by many the best play by

house than it got. The company and
the show was clean and first class in
every particular.

ago. Everyone regrets his departure
and that of Mrs. Hall. Mr.. Clark,
the driver, will also go with them.

The new street grader that has been
purchased by the village and in opera
tion on our streets for the past week
has the appearance of being fine
machine. 1t scrapes the accumulation
of dirt and filth into windrow in the
center of the street where it can be
shoveled into carts and drawn away.
1t also levels and grades the street by
filling any depressions. For the money
outlay the machine appears to be
boon for the street department.
