furnishing good and substantial

PUBLICAN was shown through the
house Of Mr.. Charles Zsrbey, No. S03
Kirk wood street. This house was
built, together with . number of others
in the same row, BY Thomas MoCorkle,
Jr., being put up In frst-class style,
and for comfort and convenience, fora

handsome chandelier extends from the
ceiling in both parlors and entry. The
main building Is 14x27x feet,' with two
story back buildings, l2xl3 feet, and
shed kitchen. The rooms are divided
up as follows First floor, front and
back parlor, kitchen and shed kitchen,
second floor, sitting room, bath rom,

large. and has plenty Of room for
drying Clothes, raising flowers, etc.
Each house has nice large and dry
cellar. The houses are furnished with
gas throughout, with hot and cold wa
ter in the kitchen. The closets through
the house are numerous. The wood
work in the kitchen is all grained oak,
making 1t easy to keep clean. The
front windows have but two panes Of
glass to the window, which presents Q
neat appearance. Aregister runs from
the kitchen ceiling to the bath room,
which throws the surplus heat from the
former to the latter, which is Q novel
idea. If the appearance Of Mr. Zerbey's
house inside has anything to do with
the tidiness of the wife, Mrs. Zerbey
would be pronounced model house.

and clean as q new pin. The parl0r Is
furnished with black walnut suit of
hair cloth furniture, brussels carpet and
number of pictures around the wall.
The kitchen Is furnished similar to all
OF horkitchens. In the front bed room
Is a walnut chamber suit, with ingrain
carpet on the floor. The other rooms
have nice cottage suits with carpet to
correspond. The entry Is carpeted with
brussels, has door ball which extends
into the kitchen, and vestibule which
is neat and tasty in design.

happy, If not happier than many who
live in much grander style. They pur-
chased this house from Mr.. McCorkle
at reasonable figure, and at the terms
Offered by him, as we'll as other build

reach of all. These houses are built
after the most improved plan, for COM

culated to weather the storm for many
years.
G. Graham & Son were the architects,
Goo. s. Mckee, builder and Thos. Nc
Corkle the owner. Five more houses
are being erected in the same block, by
Mr.. McCorkle, three of which will be
sold az soon rs finished.
Thusit will be seen that many work |
iugmen provide for themselves comfor-
table homes, and live as nice, clean and
happy as any one.
