Miscellaneous Frank VanTassle is building him a nice residence east of Mr. Coolidge's place. The front room will be 12 X 15, with bay window 4 1/2 by 10. Center of building sitting room and bed room all 16 X 28. Dining room 16 foot square. Kitchen 14 X 15. The building proper will be 2 stories high. Frank has the frame up and will spend the winter in finishing off the building so as to make a first class home in every respect. David Yarns is also laying the foundation for a residence on the opposite side of the street from Mr. Van Tassle's and will also finish it off this winter. It will not differ materially from the residence described above, except it will have a mansard roof while Mr. Vantassle's will have a gothic roof. It is a good sign getting themselves good homes. Mr. Luce about two miles southeast of town has been putting up a nice upright to his house. A short time ago he held to many in the city. Many went out and Mr. Luce took good care of the teams and carriages also all the "Contra band goods" he could find in glass. The dance passed off splendidly and all were well entertained. At the close of the party he hitched up the boys' teams and also delivered "everything" in its place as he found it. And all went home happy. Those who took "glass goods" out learned a lesson. __________________________ If you have articles you would like to submit for posting please email me.
