lot formerly occupied by Hoods black
smith shop, on Pearl Street. The frame
is now up.
William Ryan has new residence
nearly finished, south of James Chest
nuts residence, and adjoining the lot
upon which the Catholic Church is to be
erected. 1t is a neat frame.
We saw Michael Kreig the contractor
for building the County Infrmary, a day
or two ago, and he informed us that the
work is progressing we'll, the walls being
up nearly to the second story.
James Chestnut will soon have his fine
business room done 1t is directly oppo-
site the Court House, on Main Street
1t is brick building, two stories high,
and has most beautiful, tasty stone
front.
opposite the Burt House, has been en-
tirely worked over, by C. F. Bertsch,
who now owns it, and is as fine and COM
modious as a new building. Four fami-
lies now live comfortably in it.
The improvements in jackson progress
so rapidly that what we wrote three days
ago for the outside of our paper is nearly
out of date. For instance, we spoke of
the foundation having been dug for the
new Bank building. Now the walls are
going up.
George Pugh is having a very fine
frame residence put up on Church Street,
the marble shop. 1t is nearly
finished. We looked through it, and
think it has the most convenient arrange
ment inside of any house we ever saw.
Mr.. Pugh made the plan himself.
Two-of the finest residences in town,
are those of L. P. Sutherland and T. S.
Matthews on South Street, Immediately
east of the residence of c.. S. Dickson.
They are large frame buildings, and we'll
under way. Sutherland's has been plas-
tered, and the other weatherboarded
The buildings going up in jackson this
summer exhibit vast improvement in
taste and style. The new business house
q
tiful front. The barber shop across
Broadway, has also had very fine front
put in. We speak in another place of
the fine building of James Chestnut on
Main Street
Sternberger's new business house, on
the old Montgomery corner, is tastefully
and beautifully painted. The lettering
on the Broadway side is fine, but we can

end, fronting Main Street. The words
are too much crowded, and the comma
between the words "Sternberger's" and
"Store," shows ignorance on the part of
the painter.
1t is generally conceded that Tropic
Furnace is one of the most complete
furnaces in or around this place The
men who had charge of building it are
all men of experience. Ezekiel Jones,
the principal man, has had much expe-
rience at furnaces. He was for a long
time at Orange, in this place, and then
he was for considerable length of time
at the furnaces in Clay county, Indi-
ana.
Jonah Jones, his brother, is also prac-
teal furnace man.
Daniel D. Morgan, another of the active
partners in the erection of Tropic, is a
man OF Huucu experience, ana sound
judgment. He was manager at Cambria
Furnace before he came here
David D. Davis was for many years
manager at Cambria, is man of much
and as a business man is al
ways honorable and reliable.
With such force of active, expert
enced men working harmoniously to-
gether, it is no wonder that a complete
furnace was the result.
