Show NEWTON ITEMS. Editor Journal.-"The threshers" smile is a mournful grin; while it rains, it rains, it rains. Yes, the long spell of "beautiful weather" is broken at last; but those who often travel over the roads will gladly hail the change; dust was becoming a nuisance. Newton is a fast growing town. Among the improvements I noticed that Mr. Amos Clark has erected a commodious dwelling house. Mr. John Jenkins has made a very respectable addition to his residence, and a new building is being pushed forward upon the city lot of Bishop W. F. Rigby. All of these are constructed of rock from the Newton quarry, and are of course, substantial and creditable structures. The Journal is becoming a very popular guest in Newton. Y. Z. Newton, Sept. 20, 1882. |
