C-ur town is old, quite a lot older than Pendle ton, and we have got along with old buildings and did ways of living for a long while; but a majority of ue have made Up our minds that we will have the good things of life and stay right here to enjoy them. The city has started a program of building by let ting the contract for some paving which will do us all kinds of good, and before long I predict that a great many of our old buildings will give way to modern new homes and that within the next five years, we'll be dressed up In altogether different J clothes from the ones ware wearing jnow."
