The back wall is complete and the more ‘complex front wall is being erected as quickly as possible. Even as little as may be seen of the new church indicates that it will be the most substantial looking building in town with the possible exâ€" ception of the post office. Local granite is being used for the majority of the outside walls. although imported stone is used around the windows and dootr‘s and for other decorative purposes. New O‘Hearn Block The most recent addition to the busiâ€" ness buildings of the town is the E. O‘Hearn block on Pine street north, immediately north of the Dominion bank. Rapid progress has been made with the front wall, which is of buff brick with black mortar, a pleasing combination. Steel uprights and beams have been erected. The Dr. McInnis block, south of the Dominion bank is now nearly ready for occupancy. Hardwood flooring is being laid in the two stores and painting and finishing of the interior is going ahead quickly.
