It is currently rumored that Lee’s 
Block, the most valuable corner in 
town, in which is located Allen’s 
Drug store, is soon to change hands. 
The building is located in Central 
square, and contains besides a drug 
store offices on the second floor and 
a hall on-the third floor used by the 
North Shore Horticultural society. 
There are also two tenements in a 
building connected with the property. 
The corner has been owned by the 
Lees for fully a hundred years, and 
some sixty years ago Lee’s Drug 
store (now Allen’s) was established 
there, being moved across the street. 
The property is now owned by Chas. 
O. Lee and Mrs. Mollie Lee, widow 
of the late Frank Lee. The place 
will be sold to settle the estate. Mr. 
Lee said yesterday there was truth 
in the report that the property is to 
be sold and admitted that M. J. Calla- 
han will be the probable purchaser, 
and will take possession, probably, on 
Deca?

Someone inquires why the Stars

its property at the railroad station by 
setting out shrubbery and a dozen or

the old one separating the freight 
yard from the rest of the property.

will be made before next season to 
have the roadway leading to the sta- 
tion on either side of the track, re- 
surfaced and—possibly—oiled.
