MANY RESIDENTIAL HOUSES
ARE TO BE CONSTRUCTED
THIS SUMNER.

Every indication points to an unpre-
cidented building boom during the
coming summer. In fact everybody is
talking of that new home and how
soon it might be completed. So far
about twenty houses will be construct
ed, some of which are already going
up. just at present there is cry
ing need for at least two hundred new
homes to accommodate prospective
residents, people who wish to locate
here. During the past week we know
of two people who went over the town
with fine tooth comb trying to locate
rooms, but nothing doing.
We have seen the plans of one or
two of the new dwellings and they
certainly will be credit to our city
We also have seen the prices quoted
for the same, which also are very
handsome. The buildings win all be
modern and contain every convenience
possible.
These buildings will be constructed
in different parts of the city and they
will offer a splendid opportunity for
the unemployed to get steady work
during the summer.
Following are the names of those
who are going to build.

so many happy hours. The servant
recognized him, with a start and
showed him into the parlor.
There were old familiar aspects to
the room, and there in the alcove was
the special corner always given to
dead Mr.. Burton. The caller even
recognized his desk, his armchair, his

Along life's cold and rugged way,
Still longing, they onward tread,
For deeds undone or words unsaid,
Though friendly smile or kindly hand
Two things at every ones command
Would help to soothe the gnawing pains
Or break the links Of sorrows chain.
