A New Market.

Mr.. r, d. Plyler and Mr.. Otis NJ.
Johnson. two of Lancaster's young
business men, have opened a meat
market on Midway, but expect to
serve the people of the city Of Lam
caster as well. They have rented
the property of Sheriff Hunter, and
the lot is large and we'll adapted for
this purpose. as same includes a
large barn for housing cattle, hogs,
etc. The market proper has been
fitted up with new fixtures through
out. New scales, new knives. new
racks, new blocks, new hy-proof
doors, and a new McCray refrigera-
tor with a capacity OF 5000 pounds.
1t is the most sanitary market we
have seen in many a day. With
everything new, these gentlemen
should make a clean sweep and from
our. acquaintance with these two
Lancaster boys. we predict for them
a successful business.

Board of Governors and City
Council i'm Joint Meeting.

The board of governors of the
Chamber of Commerce and the city
council met last night IN the receps
ton room Of the Chamber of Com
merce, to discuss the matter of the
use of the $4,000 voted for street
improvements. The council thought
it wise to first begin paving on
streets tributary to Main street.
They were of the opinion that by so
doing the convenience of the women
and children of the town would be
accommodated and that suffi-
cheney of the $13, 900 would be left.
together with a supposed surplus of
four or five thousand dollars, from
the sewerage fund, to enable
the council later on to give at
tention to Main street. In the
meantime, the council stands ready
to begin work on the sidewalks of
Main street whenever the abutting
property owners signify their will
ingness to pay their half OF the cost.
