The recent opening of the magnifi cent new
furniture store of Messrs. Green s. Williams,
corner OF 9Th and streets calls for a notice
supplemental to the one which appeared in HR
STAR lew weeks since relative to that estab-
ishment. The building is now completed and
the various departments open for business The
new edihce, which IL an orr ament to It'll street
and credit to the city, fronts twenty feet six
inches on 9TH street, and lie one hundred and five
feet deep. The architect was MIR. John @.
Hardness, the contractor and builder Mr.. Saml
wise, the bricklayer MIR. Augustus Davis, the
painters Messrs. Callahan & Spslding, and the
plumber and gas filter Mr.. Henry Clay Cruit.
Every division of the work was thoroughly aud
artisticaliy done, and consequently the result is
eminently satisfactory TO the propr ietors.

mounted by handsome French roof. The two
immense bay windows at the main entrance on
9TH street said to be the largest in the city,
and the costly and luxurious articles of furni-

interest to the passers-by. The basement of the

Diture, useful or ornamental, that cannot be
found in Green & williams establishment, and

mined to offer the citizens of the District such
Inducements in the way of bargains that there
