Town of Monon Is Prosperous and Building Employs Many Mechanics.

Monon News. If the improvements now under way in Monon may be regarded as a sign of the times, the prosperity wave has reached us in large proportions. Several first class residences are in course of erection and as many more are being remodeled at a cost equal to .that of ordinary houses. Artisans of all kinds gre in demand and the greatest activity prevails to get work completed before winter sets in. The number of substantial improvements to be placed to the credit of 1909 will surpass any year of modern date in history of the town. These improvements have not only absorbed the mechanical skill of Monon, but have brought outside labor here, some of the best houses being in charge of Jcontractors frorff a distance.
