while it was ra nin* an old negro woman
on Mrs. Comer's place said to her that
rain-water caught during the first week in

and to test the thing, Mrs. Comer caught
about two gallons of the rain then falling
and put it in a jug, placing it in a closet.
From time to rime daring the year she ex
amined and tasted the water, finding it
cold and sweet. On yesterday she sent to
this office a bottle containing some of the
water, and on examining it wo found that
it was cold and pnte as spring water, show

water carried by ships will spoil and be-l
come sweet again. The water of >-ome cf

Wiregratt' Watchman: Mr! Jamas I
J. Mobley, of Montgomery connty,
has three children. A few weeks ago,
the oldest, Mary, was attacked with
diphtheria m the throat. It was controlled
by Dr. Mobley without much trouble. Soon
after, both the others were taken, one in
the hand and the other in the foot. Their
suffering was intense. Inflammation ran
high and the cases looked dangerous. The
doctor pronounced it diphtheria. The
•welling finally broke amt run, yet con
tinued to spread and threaten. Tho doctor
•airitha danger waa in its terminating in
the throat, against 'which ha studi
ously guarded. L.ttlo Dasie’s hand
anA inn finally began to improve.
Fond hopes- of her recovery now
sprang np; but alas! like most of onr
earthly bopcs, to be .nipped in the bnd.
The dread disease now turned to the
throat and in a few days hashed the little
*nfferer into tbe sleep of death. The doc
tor thought best not to try to arrest tho
disease in the other one’s foot, for fear of
the same termination. So, the disease
prevailed in the leg and foot for weeks and
never reached tho throat. Finally, Mary,
the one first nttacked in tbe throat, is now
attacked in the hand. I did cot know that
this fearful disease possessed any such
characteristics, and I speak of it through
tbe press for the benefit of others who,
like me, did not know. S.

Savannah News: We are pleased to learn
that there is now an encouraging proba
bility of tho appropriation of SCO.OfiO for
ligbtin i the Savannah river being utilized
and not being allowed to revert tx tho
Treasury for la :k of iction. The pros-
pecls of the proposed light-houses being
erected ia greatly improved, and it is hoped
that circumstances will enable the work to
bo commenced shortly. The plana of ihe
light-houses provide for an iron frame,
with keeper’s house below, the lan
tern to be hoisted to the top by
machinery. The rear range light will be
eighty feet to the place where the lantern
rests and the front light forty feet. These
will be handsome in appearance and sub
stantial in structure. The sites for the
now lights on Danfuskie Island—“Bloody
Point”—have been arranged for and the
titles sent to Washington for reoord
and preservation. At Long’Island the
requisite land for the new light
houses has been ceded to the United
States by the State of Georgia, and the
sites for the two lights on Jones’ Island, as
well as that of Venus’ Point, belonging to
the enate of Stevenson, are now be-
ing negotiated for, tho matter of the
valuation being referred to Colonel
Wm. Rogers, superintendent of the
Ceutr.il railroad, for his decision. It is
als J arranged that the value of the site for
the lighthouse opposite the north end of
Elba Island, owned by the estate of Barn
well, shall be determined by the decision
in regard to tho land owned by the astste
of Stevenson. The site for two iigh"s
or. Deptford plantation, property of Wm.

Macon, Ga., May 3.—You will have seen
by the reports of the secretary and of the
treasurer the material and financial con-
dition of the society, and have learned
something of its workings for the past
year. You will have seen that its finances
are in a. fairly satisfactory condition, in
spite of large extraordinary expenses, iu-
emdieg those of o<’r delegate* to-.the
American Humane Association in Boston
last summer, and those incurred in having
amended and perfected by tbe State Legis-
latnre the laws under whioh we act.
The reporter the secretary indicates a
great lack of activity on the part of the
society—a scarcity of warnings, of prosecu
tions aod of oonviutions. Tijis either argues
dereliction of duty on the part of the so
ciety’s officers and agents, or else it indi
cates a state of things inimical to or un
favorable tor their eucce-*ful action. You
will each, of coarse, decide this question
scoording to your individual judgment;
but I feelitmy duty in behalf of the exeou
tive committee to claim that this non-
aotion lies rot in any-lack of energy on
their part in providing* against such
cases as are presented to their notice', but in
the greater humanity and improved publio
sentiment throughout the State, wbioh
have obviated the frequent necessity for
such action. The aims of this society and
the powers conferred upon it by law, *re
now pretty generally understood, and this
know edge bar, unaided, in many instances
influenced the conduct of tho illy dispoeed.
I may mention the holding of the cniuken
mein, last winter, in Hamburg, S. 8., in
stead ol on the Augusta fair grounds, be
cause, 03 one of tbe cock-fighting frater
nity expressed it, “they were afraid tbe
society wonld bounce them;” and “ bounce
them” is oertainly what it would have doze.
But, in truth, punishment aurl regres
sion are among the least good works done
bp this society. The mere fact of its ex
istence is a standing protest agaicst the
bnrbarities and cruelties of former times.
That a number of men and women are
banded together io teach mankind ite duty
to its fellow-creatures, and to demand for
those creatures their natural rights, iv bnt
another instanoe that the world a advance
ment is not backward and that we are an
other step nearer the millenium.
The great obstacle to our cause, as it is
to all progress, is ignorance. To overooihe
this evil is everywhere recognized as the
most important as well as the most formi
dable problem to be solved by our civiliza
tion. In this connection some idea may
be formed of the magnitude of the task
undertaken by this society. For whereas
States and communities set themselves to
teach the uneducated, it is our part to edu
cate also the educated. It is our duty not
only to repress the wilful and to teach thff
unlearned, bnt to restrain the careless and
remind the thoughtle-s.
Education then is the great Archimedean
lever by which wc would move tte world,
and the laws under which we work recog
nize the fact and proclaim tbe alliance by
devoting half the proceeds ol fines impos
ed for violations ot those laws tothe. uuL-
lic school fun-1. lathi-" matter of educa
tion, ft is the woman’e branch of our socie
ty in Augusta that takes tho lead, by offer
ing through the various schools prizes for
the best written essays on the subject of
kindness to animals. This is an import
ant work, and I commend its adoption by
the different branchse.
At the last annual meeting of your soci
ety, which was held in Atlanta, it was re
solved, on motion cf Dr. H. V. M Miller,
that the judges of the various Superior
Courts be requested to'charge thrir re-
spec’ive grand j'arits on the Laws relatin
to cruelly to animals. In accordance wit
that motion, memorials have been tent to
the twenty judicial districts of the State.
One such charge has been made, and in ah-
i'tin r instance the judeo has promised to
comply with our request. - —
Last summer your society sent Mr. N. K.
Platehek, of tho Savannah branch, to
procure from the Legislature additional
powers. The result of his labors will op
pear in ihe report be will make from tbe
committee appointed at the la3t conven
tion for that purpose.
iu conclusion I would urge (ill members
to give these subjects their earnest consider
ation. Let each member discourogo tho use
of tight check rr ins and ret use to hire hacks
when they are nsed; let each one refuse to
buy chickens carried head downward; ex
postulate with those guilty of acts of cru
elly, and report those who will not heed
expostulation. Let this be done, and the
aggregite represents an incalculable
amount of good work done, an immense
amount'of misery and suffering prevented.
Respectfully submitted, on behalf of tho
executive committee, by
Hekbt B. King,
President.
The reports of tho secretary and treas
urer wpre read and approved.,
The resignation of Mr. \V. Edward Platt
as secretary was read, and upon morion it
was unanimously resolved tlint a vote uf

A HirrowlBg Tale In Fear Chapter*.
OHirru i.
He was a cad-browed man—in fact, a
bilious-looking man, with a sad voioe, and,
sometime*, he displayed a certain sharp-
of “temper,” so people said, but
there was ao such thing as bad temper
about good old Mr. Narrxwpate. When
ever be happened to be out of sorts it was
his liver—nothing else. He was amiable
euoogh to like tbe good things of this
nanghty world, especially, when he didn’t
h«ve4o pay for them—end to be invited
oat to dinner or to sapper was, to Mr-
Narrowpate, ai rich an enjoyment as a
fall clover field woald be to a hungry male.
No vision of fatare dyspeptic horrors
wrought him ap to the ability of a nega
tive when asked to eat.
He waa a zealous citizen, too, .waa this
sad faced man, and be held a petty office
which gave him the right—or he thought it
did, which is all the same—to dabble in
everything pertaining to the city. He was
a moat economical man, too, was Na> row-
pate, and he believed in keeping the treas
ury locked, barred end bolted whenever
there was any improvement" hinted at. It
is true that some of the oity men looked
upon Mr, Narrcwgate with disfavor, but
They mast have been envious of his vast
capabilities.
He was somewhat old-fashioned in his
ideas, too, bnt no one oould blame him,
for he was born a long time ago, and, of
coarse, hi) ideas were ancient,
in- keeping with himself. Some
times the bad boys aronnd
town playfully yelled oat “old fossil,”
when he parsed certain corners, bnt every
body knows that bad boys are not to be
explained away, so to speak, and thus Mr.
Narrowp'ate bad to stand up and take his
share of their treatment like the rest of
suffering humanity. t -
And it wring* ray lie*:! to relate
llow old Mr. Narrowpate
Would hunt him a brick,
While the boys dodged quick,
And yelled at a scaudalous rate.

Mr. Brondgrin was the dexr friend of
Mr. Nnrrowpute. Everybody wondered
bow two such opposite characters oould as
similate; bnt as extremes meet, so they
met, and swore etem al friendship. When
ever Narrowpate scowled, Broadgrtn
smiled; whenever Narrospato epposed
anything, Brondgrin favored it; and when
ever Broadgrin laughed outright at any
thing, Narrowpate groaned. But, after all,

Early Sunday morning Mr. John Brad
ley, an old and rtf-pected farmer of Rut
land district, came into the city accompa
nied by his friend, Dick Minchew, and re
ported to 8o! icito r-Geuernl Hardeman
that he had killed a negro on his premises.
After leaving Oapt. Hardeman's, he drovo
to the resideaoo of Officer James P. Chap
man, the recently appointed coroner, and
asked him to go out and hold an inquest.
Mr. Chapman had not been sworn
in and of oonrse could not officiate. Mr.
Bradley and his friend then weut back in
the direction of Rutland.
■ In company with Deputy Sheriff Walter
Clarke, our reporter rode out to the eceuo
of the difficulty. Mr. Bradley’s plaoe is
thirteen miles from th6 city, about a mile
to the left ol the Houston road, aud within
a short distance of Eoheoonneo creek,
which is the dividing line between Houston
and Bibb oounties. The plantation is also
a few hundred yards from Red Bluff, on
the Oomulgee river.
A number of peoplo, mostly colored
men and women, were gathered in the
yard, quietly discussing the murder. There
were not the slightest manifestations of
any revengeful feelings among them,
though the murdered man seemed to have
been a favorite with them. Within a short
distance of the Bradley house, in a small
log house, the body cf John Jackson, oold
in death, lay on the floor. He was an in
telligent looking negro, of medium size,
and was about twenty-one years old.
From the witnesses to tbe uoene, and
from the evidenoo adduced at the inquest
held by ’Squire George Boud, we gather
the following particulars: Jackson was
employed by Bradley on bis farm. A few
days ago Jaokeou wauteda settlement and
a few words passed between them. After
this dispute one of tbe other hands told
Bradley of something Jackson had said.
This caused another dispute.
On Saturday last Mr. Bradley came to
Maoon and purchased some supplies. He
returned to his t ome about dusk, and os the
wagon rolled np alongside of his piazza
and Jackson began to help another hand
unload. While ao engaged he said to the
hands in the yard that whoever told that
tale to Mr. Bradley “told n d—n lie.”
About this time Bradley came out cf his
house and stood on the porch. Ho
asked JacVson if he had not forbidden him

ever Broadgrin laughed outright at any
tbiug, Narrowpate groaned. But, after all, —
they were about as neirly matched os the premises. Jackson said “Yes, bnt
*-*--*- ' «•- *- •• that's all over with now,” referring proba
bly to the previous disputes. Repeating
his demand for Jackson to leave, Bradley
went into the house and loaded his gnu
with buckshot. Going on the piazza again
he asked Jackson if ho wzs going (o leave,
most as closely allied as the famed twins
of Siam. Only on one subject were they
“ananimons,” and that was the subject of
eating; bnt this need efeite no surprise, as
it is .a kind of unanimous thing every-
idldthes)
two friends “hide” in the homes of their
friends. And many a bottle of wine grew
beantifully less under their joint manipula
tions, Hnd many a nightlafter a sober, seri
ous meeting of “the lodge” lid they pilot
each other along when the roads got tan
gled np and the stars got to cavorting
around liko mad, and wonld not stand still
er shave 'er life.” Like two amiable
lambs they wonld go arm in arm, and it is
said
Their serpentine course they'd pursue,
With no definite end in view,.
And they’d “hiccup” and swear,
Would this jolly old pair.
Till tho atmosphere 'round ’em turned blue.
' ce&pteb m.
One night onr IrienclB went to “a big sap
per” just outside of the city’s limits, and
as it was not far they walked. Well, they
met some jolly old fellows and hed a gor
geous time. The wine (lowed freely, end
as Mri Narrowpate got warmed he got to
talking about city matters, and he was
especially bitter on a mild-eyed, bald-
headed man who wanted all kinds of im
provements, bridges, etc. Broadgrin tried
to check his friend’s bitterness, but the old
man lloLg his liver pad to tho winds, and
“rushed upon his fate.” He gavo the
suburbans to understand that unless they
paid for it they couldn't have a siuglo
plank, let alone a bridge. This was epirit,
this was eloquence; and the sqnelchod su
burb,ms withered in their tracks
nnder the withering saroasm and
blighting irony of the impassioned Nar-
rowpate. China and crystal shook and
shivered as his sledge-hammer band tho country who. when
struck the table. His eyes gleamed with rence, said he must
a consuming fire, and his face took on n cause, as he was not the
blood, coursed throngh his veins. At
length, throngh the course of nature—
.and liko an old clock, he “ran down” and
-stopped, for bile, as well as blood, shows
some abatement after strife.
And tho poor man, he thought he had mashed,
Sat smiling there quite unabashed,
r For they knew he would “spUe”
From redundance of bile,
Unless with “tho fellers” he clashed.
Chapter iv.
At a late hour tbe fine old gentleman,well
lined with good cheer, and accompanied
by his friend, Broadgrin, started back to
town by a different and a shorter way than,
that by which they had gone ont. Tbe
night wa« a deceitful one. The moon, be
ing a born A rt, coquetted sadly with the
clouds, and often strayed so far away with
them that the o-rth'was left in deep
mourning. Our friends plodded elong,
sometimes stumbling over a tree root
which, under mistake, hod rushed to th
f-urbice of tbe earth. Often OUT friend
would go snddsnly down a foot or two
when they intended to porsne the even
tenor of their way. At last they heard tbe
voioe of rushing waters, and stopped to
listen.
“Where are wo ?” inquired Narrowpate.
Now tbe moon heard the question, and off
sha went with the clouds to mystify tho pe
destrians. “Where are wo?” repeated
Narrowpate. “ThisistheVinevill"branch,
and thoro is tho bridge, so wo may cross
here;” and the two, bridgo, and anti
bridge, walked ont upon the structure.
Did Broadgrin know that only one slim
piece of something held the few planks in
their places, that be kept the right side and
gave Narrowpate the left? Is friendship,
thenbubananfo? Suddenly there wa) tv
fearful wranh and then, kersph'sh! and
Narrowpate had made a hole in tho water.
Broadgrin held on the scantling and crawl
ed to a perch of safety and offered his hand
to his friend. But something wns wrong
with Narrowpate. He had something
heavy about him. It might have
boon that his spleen wns enlarged,
and his liver overcharged, or it might have
been the inoantions flinging away of his
liver pad, or perhaps his old enemy, dys
pepsia, was at work rolling np a heavy
charge against him, but Broadgrin could
not badge hiute No help was at hand.
The darkies wh > live near by hadn’t come
home from meeting, nnd the white folk)
were all asleep. Narrowpate floundered
and choked in his vain attempts to help
himself, and Broadgrin tugged at him in
vain. Fainter and fainter grew Narrow-
nate, deeper and doeper ho sank in the
mud, and he felt the water slowly closing
over him. With a last effort—feeling that
tho end was at hand, ho gnsped out:
“Brcadgrin, old boy, good-bye.” Tell
’om I died true to mv principle) No
bridge—l-o b-r-i-d-g-o.”
A gargling sound, and—Broadgrin was
left atom'. Tho moon, feeling somewhat
ashamed ot herself at the turn affairs had
taken, came oat of the clouds to look on.
Sho Hashed a ray across Urotldgrin’s face.
Ho was still smiling ns ho crept softly np
the bank and started to town.
And the bullfrogs croak loud o’er the place,
Where lust they ■« Nariovvnatc's face;
Ami ‘ m«inks” tvalk at night.
When the moon gives her light.
And tho witches go dying through space.

and on receiving a reply in the negative,
he fired into the negro, who was standing
on the doubletree of th) w tgon, about ten
steps off. A) soon as shot, Jack on walked
towards the kitchen when Bradiy fired
again. Jaokson dropped at the second
fire and died in about twenty minutes.
The dead man lay on the rpot where he
fell for an hour, and was then taken to the
little log house where the colored people
kept an all night vigil.
The next morning, Sunday, Mr. Bradley
went over to the Mincbewe, living abont a
mile from his farm, and with Dick Min
chew, came into town, as stated.
On Sunday afternoon Mr. George Bond,
a justice of tho peace in Rutland, etnpan-
nelled a jury and rite inquest was held.
On examining tbe dead man’s pockets a
large opened knife was fonnd. The wit
nesses were carefully eximintd and the
verdict rendered that “the deceased came
to his death from gunshot wounds at tho

Mr. Bradley ia abont fifty-five years old.
He rent) the old Minchew place and runs a
six-mnle farm. He was raised in Bibb

The negro was almost twenty-one years
old, and leaves a wife and child. He had
the repntation of being a good hand, bnt

Our reporter visited the ice factory yes
terday to ascertain how soon the manufac
ture of ice would begin, and whether the
machines would be able to keep up tbe
supply.
Many ohangee have taken place at the
works, of which the public nave no knowl
edge. Tbe ole machine wbioh made the ice
when tho factory was located at the foot of
Seoonu street has been discarded, and two
magcificeut machines from the Boyle Ice
Machine Company, of Chicago, have been
placed in position. These machines will
make ten tons of ice each per day, and the
nuiform capacity of twenty tons per day
will be kept up daring the entire summer.
A large Had oxnam odious building ha
been erected adjoining tbe water works to
accommodate these new machines and
tbe ice-tanks. The new process is some
what different from the old way of manu-
ficturing ice. Tho boxes in which the
water i* frozen ore placed in large iron
tanks filled with sal: water, and through
this water runs over ten thousand feet of
piping in coils. The water of which the
ice is made ia pnmpod from Tuft’s springs,
a few steps distant., and is distilled, making
the ioe a* clear and as pure as any lake
ioo. It requires forty-eight hours to make
a slab of Ice, but the slabs ars taken out of
the tins eve>y seven minutes, and this
schedule is kept up continually. The slabs
weigh two hundred ponnds.
The company is now building an ioe
house iu wbioh to store the ioo, and it will
hold threo hundred and twenty-five tons.
The oompany also lias a down-town ice
house which will always be bountifully
supplied. By the end of this week the ma
chines will be in working order, and by
Friday or Saturday of next week tbe en
gines will set in for continuous use, ran-
ning night and day, Should one muohine
possibly get out of order, the other goes on
as if nothing had happened.
The putting up and getting ready of the
machines is under the direction of Mr.
Ernest Gcrhardt who represents the Boyle
Ice Machine Oo., of Onioago. ’His ma
chines are in use all 07er the United States,
and are well patronized by breweries. One
is now, and has been for some time in coa-
stact operation at Ioerille. near Atlanta. It
is said to bo the best machine for the pur
pose manufactured.
The ice factory as well as fha water
works are in charge of Mr. W. W. Weston,
who is iu every way oompetent to manage
the beantiful and complicated machinery.
He told onr reporter yesterday that there
need not be the slightest misapprehension
of any delay or failure on the part of tbe
Macon ioe factory to supply the eily and
country with ioe. When the machines are
ready to start there will be no end of iee.
Mr. Weston has built a neat cottage for
his family near the works, so that he can
always be on band. We are satisfied that
in hi) hands the works will be ran success
fully, and Macon may feel assured that she
will always have a fall supply of ice and
water.
The ice will be delivered to the hotels,
drag stores, saloons and families by Mr.
Joj Ruhl, one of the most enterprising and
energetic Macon yonng men, who will raQ| I
his cart on the old Knickerbocker ioe cart
principle. He will supply all the drag
stores, saloons eto , early each morning,
and then turn his attention to families and
keep all regularly supplied. His cart will
make early and regular rounds,so that fam
ilies can nave a certain amount delivered
early each mornnig, and thus save sending
to the ice houses. Mr. Ruhl will com
mence the delivery as soon as tho factory
commences the manufacture of the ioe.
The crop of natural ice ia largo, and Fe
lix Corput <b Oo. and J. B. Williams report
that they hate made arrangements that
will enablo them to keop an pbnndance on
hand, and to supply Macon and the adja
cent towns. They will continue to sell at
one cent per pound.
In view ot the fact that this summer
promises to be one of unusual warmth, it
is gratifying to know that onr supply of ice
will be nmpie.
THE MARKET AGAIN.
AceamtUatlng Indorsement* from tbe
People.
There is no nse denying the fact, the
market question now occupies a conspicu
ous seat on tbe popular wave. (Jn every
hand we find onr people eager for the erec
tion of a market. We can safely say, nfter
a most thorough canvass of tho city, that
bnt ont of every hundred people in the
city of Maoon to-day not more than one

Tbe Lucky Has Congratulated.
The announcement that ticket No. 73,-
414 in tbe March drawing of the Louisiana
Stale Lottery had drawn the capital prize
of $30,000, and that half of ihe ticket had
been sohfflti savannah, created considera
ble excitement, aud many were inclined
to think that there vr&s some mistake.
We are pleased to suite, however, that
there was no mialaku^tud that the lucky
person was our wellKuown townsman,
Mr. Eugene B. l'hllpot, of the firm of
John Sullivan & Uo. During the flay
Mr. Philpot received the congratulations
of numerous friends, who were rejoiced to
hear of his good luck. It was a big return
on the investment of $1.—Savannah News,

who have suffered from the blue beef sold
here, and those whoso molars and incisors
havo been worn, to tho gum in wrestling
with the tough, stringy beef often thrust
upon them by botchers who swear by the
shades of departed Faints that it u
tbe finest and fattest that
was ever led to the sacrifice, certainly seo
that with a market bouse there conld not
be any more bine beef or diseased meat.
Any right thinking man knows that when
all tho hatchers are nnder ono roof, all.on
the "3-lie footing, that such a grouping of
them wonld beget competition and the
publio wonld be benefited.
Thoso who havo had their cow3 to go
astray and never found them unless *oma
inquisitive somebody ran up on the hide
in some shop should certainly appreciate
n plan to stop such unlawful traffio in
stolen cattle.
And ladies, on whom in most all cases is
devolved the duty of purchasing the meat
and vegetables for tho table, and who have
often walked block after block in search of
something worth putting into their baskets,
appreciate a way to group meat and vege
tables and allow them an opportunity of
making a selection of everything
in thoso lines in the city with-
ont wa'lking themselves into a perspi
ration. The ladies sboald also favor it,
because they can, with n market, get up
early and attend the market to purchase
family snpplios, and thus enjoy exercise at
tho proper hour of tho day. The few who
object give os one of their reasons
for opposition that tho city is
unable at this liino to baild one. This
is mere bosh. Tho city’s finances were
never healthier, and the market is a source
of much revenue to the city, the money ex
pended in its erection paying a handsomer
dividend than any investment she oould
make.
One merchant objected because he
thought it wonld take away the trade of all
retail grocers. This is another fallacy.
Tho grocer is at just as much liberty ns a
butcher to convert his stall into a email
grocery house and thus stand a good
chance of petting customers that might
never enter his store if he kept open a hun
dred years.
Mr. George O. Brown, of Brown’s Hotel,
spends every year $15,000 for moat
and vegetables. His steward has
to walk hii over Macon daily and hunt up
his supplies. There are retail grocery
stores in Macon which he has probably
never entered. I’ut up tho market end
then he is compelled to buy everything,
and every greengrooer or butcher has a
chance to see him and got some of that
fifteen thonsrnd dollars.
A great many who favo- the market, and
who advocate its establishment, may not
agree on it* location. The city oertainly
has some fino locations for a market house,
but none seem to be thought so
fiivor-.ble as Poplrr street, tfbtween
Fit-d aud Second. This places it
almost centrally, and yet affords ample
room. Another good place suggested is
th' vacant place at the intersection of First,
Poplar and Cotton e.venue, the market
houi-e to be built octagonal shape, and the
shed for wagon sand other vehicles to be
built on Poplar street.
