ciative had the public become regarding
these features that they expected their
retention. Mr.. Chapman has been fre-
quently questioned or this subject, and
he has assured his friends that there will
be nothing lacking to make the store
beautiful. There will be three open
freplaces, artistically arranged in the
new building, and they will be so con
structed as to aid in the ventilation. The
frescoing and painting, which proved so
attractive in the old store, will be equally
fine in the new one.
PLAN OF BUILDING.
The plans and specifications of the
building call for ground measurement
of 4615 feet on Wisconsin street, running
south on Milwaukee street 2lO feet, with
wing running east, 75x100 feet. There
will be four stories, with basement, the
altitude of the building being 86 feet.
The basement will be of red sandstone,
with rock-face finish, showing above the
ground surface to the first story, while
above that story the sides and front will
be of Milwaukee brick, trimmed with red
moulded brick. red sandstone and terra
Gotta of the same color. The latter ma
terial will be used very literally in the
construction of the outer walls, being
both durable and ornate,
The principal entrance will be from
Wisconsin street, where a spacious en-
trance way with elegant heavy doors will
be fanked with handsome plate glass
windows. A new feature will be large
bulk window located near the corner, on
the Milwaukee street side It will be
% feet in width and proportionately
high. The Doric pertico which formerly
ornamented the Milwaukee street enter
ance, having survived the flames, will
serve as private entrance way. The
floor to each entrance will be handsomely
tiled.
FIRST TWO STORIES.
The first two stories will be fronted
with plate-glass windows, leaving ample
room, b owever, for the piers supporting
the brick work above; while, commenc-
ing with the second floor, in the center
of each front will be ornamental or;ole
windows in terra Gotta, with large open
ings for plate-glass.

The annexed cut indicates, in modest
way, the general outline of T. A. Chap
mans new building, now in progress of
construction, on the site where his former
wellknown establishment was located.
1t is not within the possibility of news
paper Illustration, however, to convey an
adequate idea OF the harmony of design
and stately appearance which will greet
the view when the new building will
have risen from the ashes of the old. 1t
will be in all respects superior to the
structure recently destroyed, and will
have an additional story. Its conception
is entirely that of Mr.. Chapman, who
has incorporated into the plaLs the accu-
mulatcd ideas of his long experience,
both as regards its utilitarian and orna-
mental character. While retaining all
the pleasing features of the old store,
many attractive ones will be supplement-
ed, rendering it model establishment
of its kind.
II was feared by citizens who saw in
the flames of the building not personal
loss to the proprietor, but calamity to

was only after considerable thought that
Mr.: Chapman permitted his public
spirited impulses to overcome personal
considerations of comfort and relief from
business cares. When he concluded to
rebuild, he determined to have store,
which, as far as sufficient room, abund-
ance of illumination. convenience of
arrangement for patrons aud employees
and ornamental features were concerned,
should surpass anything of its kind in
the world. The plans for the new build
ing demonstrate his success in this re-
spect.
FEATURES OF UTILITY.
The old store was built piecemeal, and
was, therefore an incomplete whole. The
new building will be in all respects har-
monious. Utility was Mr.. Chapman's
first consideration, permitting ornament
to be miEor, though not an unimport-
ant, matter. A retail dry goods store

A Boy Horse Thief.


The initial crime of boy who
is now confined in one of the cells
of the Pulaski jail was to steal a
horse. We call it his initial crime
because it is unreasonable to sup
pose stains any nearer that end
of the thread of life which attaches
to the cradle than this dark one that
blots his character so near the be-
ginning of his career. He is only
about thirteen years of age, and
says his father and mother are both
dead. He processes to have come
from Lincoln county and that his
name is Johnson. He has been liv-
ing with Mr.. Frank Lester who re-
ceived him into his family because
of his fersaken and orphaned
condition, as much as for any other
consideration. He must not be
lazy, worthless boy, however IN
grateful and hayward he has prov
en- himself, for he was blowing at
the time when he yielded to the
temptation that led him into troub-
lie which is not yet ended. At
about 10 o'clock last Saturday
morning he stopped the task Mr..
Lester had given him to do, took
the horse out OF the pillow, rode him
out of the field and came directly |
to Pulaski. On his way here ana |
at this place he repeatedly offered |
the horse for sale, but nobody |
would buy, for they were afraid of
the title. Failing in his efforts to
sell the horse here he went on up
the Columbia pike still trying to
find a purchaser. He stopped and
stayed all night with Mr.. Newton,
IN Capt. Thos. 3. Wade's place,
and got up the next morning and
skipped, leaving the horse in Mr..
Newton's possession. He came
lfoot back TO Pulaski and was at
he depot, waiting it is supposed
or the train, when he was discoY-
red by Leroy Lester, son of Mr..
Crank Lester, who was looking for
i'm. He made an effort to escape
,ut was oTertaken and captured 1
W young Lester. After telling t
everal tales as to the whereabouts |
f the horse he finally confessed the l
ruth and the stolen property was c
covered. He had preliminary L
rial and was committed to Jail by
so. Patteson. Without the mani a
sstation of mercy upon the part of v
ne prosecution the poor, unfOrtu
ate little fellow will almost GER v
linly go to the penitentiary. There t

has already done much in this di
rection and therefore we may rea

The Creamery.

A great many persons have in
CURED into the creamery sugges
tiOns contained in these columns
last week and expressed desire tc
take stock. We found upon per
sonal inquiry that numbers of oul
people who, if they knew the advan-
tages, would take stock have passed
the matter over carelessly thus far.
This is of too much Importance to
neglect and we again urge careful
study Of the facts. We will state
the leading facts again concisely:
j. NJ. Brent d Co. propose to
build a creamery when $1,000
stock is subscribed. They sub
scribe 5000 themselves.
The system is cream gathering,
leaving the farmer all his milk, and
covers an area of twelve miles in
each direction. 1t will make 1900
pounds per day.
The farmer gets for his cream the
full price of butter in the market,
less the actual price of making it.
Creamery butter is worth II to 10
cents more than country butter.
The establishment will expend
from 100000 to 100000 year for
cream in Giles-an actual creation
OF that amount of money out of
waste. The money comes in the
shape of milk tickets which furnish
a local currency that is guarantee
against hard times from stringency.
The stockholders will make all |
the way from 20 to 100 per cent,
owing TO how it is managed.
1t will raise the price Of cows
nearly double because they will be
worth much more, and it will stim-
ilate in the same degree grass SOW
ng, thus producing that change in
arming operations in Giles which
he best judgment Of the country
las urged since the war.
Farmers of Giles could well af-
ord to subscribe this amount and
ose it all, rather than see the pro-
ecG fail. How much moro then
oeS it urge itself upon them when
he fact appears that the per cent.
4 profit is so large?
We gave all the facts last week,

IL the responses have come from
theirs than farmers. They are the |
