THREE BUILDINGS SOON READY.
Three huilding projects of the city are
rapidly nearing completion. The National
Bank building, now has the windows in
the ground floor, and ceiling is also plac
ed. On the second floor, which is to be
devoted to modern office rooms, the work
is progressing rapidly and within a month
will be all completed.
The baptist church, another edifice that
is a credit to the city, has reached a point
where shingles are in order, and work
men are now placing them.
The new round house will soon be in
closed, at least as much as the plans call
for. Steel girders and beams have ar
rived and the work of laying roof boards
is now on,
SUSPENDS WELL DIGGING
The con-piny which has the contract
for furnishing artesian water for the new
round house, has temporarily suspended
operations. The diggers reached a depth
of 84 feet when the pipe broke and they
must of neceisity now begin over again,
as it is impossible to remove the broken
pipe. The new position will doubtlessly
be near the original one.
