Before taking leave of the subject of brick improvements, we should mention the handsome brick church built by the Episocopl congregation which is now under roof and will be ready for oocupaney in the spring It is a very handsome structure and a marked Improvement to the sectlon of the city which it oecupes. In the bullding of residenoes a .ery decided prnhbr.ne has Iheea shown in the past year for the north side ,tf the town and nearly all the more onstly residennes have been built in thi s*-e tion. The open wate th.t a year ago stretched from the old sawmill to Ihe brewery Is now well filled with dwell lmps and from the character of the im provemwent made there bids fair to be th,. fushiniudble part 4f the town.

Redd's buiidiug In 1884 and water was reached at 450 feet; nothing was done in the way of well boring in 185, but last year the fever took hold again and during the year no less Ihan eleven wells were sunk, all of which were successful in getting good flows except the court house well, In which the drill was lost at adepth of 4.54 feet, whil'h effectually put a stop to operations. The water from thets wells is clean and sparkling and was at first thought to possess medicinal properties. bIut its use for drinking or cooeking has of late been discarded, but for laundry and toilet iurpoies it is unexcelled, being, if anything, softer than rain water. It is delivered by wagons around town and nearly every family use. it for all purleres except cooking and drinking-the barber shops use it altogether for bathing pur po-es and lie who has never bathed in it, duer not know what It is toi be clean.
