JEWETT CITY

house on Eastman street, now occu- pied by James Cahoon. The price paid was $2.S00. Mrs. R. R. Church has sold the lot at the corner of Mary and East Main street to Alex McNicol for 5000. William McNicol has sold to Hugh Davis one of his building lots at the foot of Tracy hill. opposite the one time Dyer property. Two years ago a party of land boomers came to town. They bought large tract of land, on the Smoky Phillips farm later owned by R. M. Brown and later still by MT. Ouillette. Streets were laid out, lots surveyed, and Belvidere park was established. It grew up like some of the western cities, all in a night. l They sold every identical lot. The property business seems to be on the move here all of sudden. This week William McNico1 has had an opportu- nifty to close a deal with a land pros- pecting company for a considerable part of his large farm just north of the borough line. This was once the | Douglas Tracy farm. at that time it was considered to be quite ways from town. Not so. now. since the Textile Novelty plant started; build i ing has moved rapidly that way up East Main street. It looks now as if it wouldn't be long before Represen-
 
 populated suburbs of East Main street i instead of way down on the farm" The Gardner class of the Methodist church held a very successful Lenten supper and sale in the vestry Thurs 1 day evening.
