Grenada IS making greater strides
in permanent improvements than ev-
er before. In every section of the
business district the work of the brick
mason and the hammer and saw of
the mechanic are in evidence and
what is being done is being done in
first class style and one that makes
for permanency and stability. Be-
sides the work on new buildings and
the remodeling and improving of old
ones, it must not be overlooked that
street paving is in progress and that
as soon as the paving of First Street
is finished, the white Way" will be
put in, which will further add to the
charm and beauty of the prettiest
little city in the state
Duncan 4 Co., are just winding up
the work on their enlarged and re-
modelled building which makes it a
thing of beauty. The fixtures &c.
are handsome and all the work shows
the very cleverest architecture. This
firm purchased the building lust
north of their store and have made
the two into one. Altogether the ex-
penditures, leaving out the cost Of
the building, amount to about $4,000
