"Two Imported colored men do the laying and they are swift as lightning. The first brick were laid at the corner in front of the rup lumber yard.

The ground has been excavated and rolled and covered with packed cinders and presents an even surface for the brick. It takes two men to toss brick fast enough to one of the negroes to keep him going and he will bet that he can lay 1,000 In ten minutes. It is knack which long practice has made him an expert at and the two men working thus swiftly, will put down many l)rlck every day. It is certainly good news to know that tho work 1 started and that it will continue without let-up from now on. DEmH OF MA.
