Boonville's white way has been Ut' up and the street is getting in the push. Boonville has been coming back slowly for the last 10 years and In unwe should make good on its early promise of being 's first-class business street. It was that and more in the early days of the city, being the chief business street and best realdance district. Many of the old homesteads of pioneer days were on Boonville street Homa of the pioneer families of Boonville street are gone, death and change of residence working wonders. C. Gottfried resided on Boonville sud the family has not given up the old residence. being the only old settlers who have not C. K.
