fecteQ yesterday OF JONI IeIeISOA
of Philadelphia and sisters, by
Rev. William B. Gordon, who was
deputized by the Lodge to act as
the representative for the purpose.
The price paid for the tract en-
bracing % acres was $4,000. It is
designed to lay it off into burial
lots as soon as can be done and
thus prepare it as speedily as pos
sible for the purpose intended We
hear that a number of lots have
already been spoken for.
MARKET STREET has for
years been a wonder why Market
Street, a short and wide avenue
between two of our principal
streets, so well located for bust
ness, should not have been fully
occupied before this. It looks now
as if its day had come. There are
two or three residences on it, but
the street was designed, when it
was laid off, for market and mer-
camille pursuits and the prospect
is that at no distant day it will be
used entirely for such purpose.
The business places on it are the
carriage shops of ]. S. Lassel &
Company, the ice cream parlor
and store of w. H. Carr, the har-
ness shop of William P. Legg, the
stone ward of David Stevenson, the
sewing machine Office of Eben
Lurty and one or two offices par
TALLY occupied. w. w. Tschudy.
Arrangements have been to erect
on the site of the building used as
factory, stable and other pur-
poses in former years, a double
building for stores to which viii
be connected apartments for sleep
1 ing and eating, of persons not en-
numbered with a family. The OBJ
ject is to fiji them up for small re-
. tail stores. George w. Cummins
has in contemplation in the spring
to erect a building that will serve
the purpose of both store and resi-
dence. There is no reason why
this street, when once set in the
direction of the retail trade shoulC
not become a popular thorough
fare.
