Famous Artist Beautifies Property Caleb Haley Buys Jersey Farm James Rollins Injured.

The summer home of Henry w. Ranger, the noted artist, is being im- proved by the addition of a sea wall and dock on the river front east of from Judge Arthur F. Anderson. Con tractor Charles Shirley and his men are employed in the construction of the wall which is to be built of white granite, and will be carried the whole length of the property fifteen feet from the shore. The land in the rear of the wall is to be graded gradually from the street to the wall, from which a dock will extend to the channel. Should the owners of property adjoin- ing fall in line and carry on the eX- tension of the wall the water front at this section would be the finest in this part of the state and greatly in- crease the value of the properties.
