MUCH ACTIVITY:
DELTON VILLAGE

For the benefit of those living away
from the old home town, who eagerly
scan the weekly paper for items of in
terest, am going to write of the i'm
provements in our little village this
spring since none of them have been
mentioned. Perhaps never in the his
tory OF Delton has there been such a
spirit of fixing up.
Hotel Simonds and the residence
of John Timme, Charles Briggs, Mrs.

who expect to freshen up their homes
in same manner as soon as possible.

block shed and well-house combined

tractiVe home.

the old Kingsley property on the ra-
vine, has built on an addition, added
new windows to the house and is GO
ing to give it two coats of paint.
I J. r. Law of Chicago who has a
summer home here has recently pur-
chased the w. r. Hurlbut house and
will make some very noticeable i'm
provements in the near future. Chief
among these will be the converting of
the old barn into an attractive cot
tage
| Perhaps the greatest change of all
TO be made by one family, is being
made by Otto Timme This spring he
+ purchased five lots lying east of the
parsonage, of Mrs. Addie WILDER, and
, had the underbrush and refuse clean
| ed out and trees trimmed. Two weeks
ago he had his house moved over on
these lots to make room for the new
bungalow to be built this summer.
The house that was moved was built
over by Geoge Gray about As years
ago and purchased by Mrs Timme's
grandmother, Mrs. Jane Wheeler,
some q years ago. AT that time a
one story addition was built and this
has been torn apart from the main
building and will be remodeled into
a summer cottage which Mrs. Timme
intends to keep. They have had a
well drilled and a wellhOuse built and
are living in the main building while
their new home is under construction.
Mrs. Eliza Ringing has had the
rock blasted and the grade cut down
on north side of her hotel which has
made a great improvement
