A Fine New House
You have often heard the old rhyme “This is the House that Jack Built”, well, you will want to see the house that Nat built at Tenindewa—absolutely out on its own. It’s a mansion built of cement bricks, and costing in the neighborhood of 2000 pounds ($4,000.00) for Mr. Nat Rumble, who is to be married shortly, believes that now he has caught his canary, he should cage it worthily. Furthermore, it plainly shows that he has implicit faith in Tenindewa.
