We have had another delightful week
of autumn weather. The temperature
has been mild and all outdoors has been
enhancing The splendid harvest moon
has been the beautiful queen of night,

ing red and gold as the leaves are feeling
the approach Of dissolution, while other
foliage is beginning TO assume its autumn
tints The landscape is particularly love-
ly these autumn days, no matter which
way one may look, and nature is giving
Of her best in beauty and fruitage before
the cold and dreary days OF winter come.

| crushed very fine ii makes good, solid
bed in short time. The Improvement
to the river road, just east OF town, by
Supervisor J. M. Hendricks is one OF the
best pieces OF work that has been in our
neighborhood this year. The brow OF

the hollow so as TO make much easier
grade for the opposite hill. II is a good
piece of work that is appreciated by the
