Happy little town ~ But this is not al
ways thus. While the shirt and overall
factory is most of the-time in operation

not so. During the present season the
canneries have had little to do up to last
week, and the tomatoes have been of the
most inferior quality imaginable; and
bringing good prices, at that. Now how
ever, they are recovering from the effect
of the late storms of rain, and the quail
ity - noticeably improved and the guam
tity quadrupled.

has been found, which the town assavet

formerly used for street purposes. 1t lies
along Lake Fanganzyki to the left of
the Lavinia road, and the only super ior-

There ought to be something done
with the three unoccupied corners in
the lower part of the town-On Front

move all the bricks, old lumber. and /
