Jefferson Matteson has built a sub stantial plank walk in front of his place, and also a very substantial plain fence, which is a vast improvement over the old one. C. R. Prido has built a neat picket fence in front of his place. Wm Markram has got 'the stone wall almost ready 14 the eilla of his new house. W. W. Dunham has got his house frame up. We under stand that Charlie Millings contemplates building a fine bonze on his lot bought of C. C. Bowman. G. B. Smith has got his new holisonicely painted in colors, and it gives a bright appearance to the lower end of town. Hiram Freeborn has got through his job of walk-building, and ho has Bono the community a great kindness, for which he deserves the,heartfelt thanks. We think e made a 'slight mistake' when we said Giles iii,J , would build his walk im mediately after Conte ' i'.for it is not done yet. And we have made up ofir mind that he is willing to be classed with that 'neighbo ' of his across the street, and have it said of: ll cm, that they will build their walks as soon us they got time. And we think the worthy Burgefis should say to those men. (Giles Roberts and Gust Alba,) ' Gentlemen, build your walks, instanter!' "We have had a 'sell out' here.
