A. 3. Smith, who was requested
to lease them the red front shoe store.
but Mr.. Smith said the sturs would con-
tinue to be occupied. The gentlemen
were taken to Mr. Il. C. Caswell. who
did all he could. but there was no store
to be found. Then THE GAZETTE man
rounded up Mr.. j V. French, who with
Mrs. Ryan has built an elegant fifty foot

Mr.. French said the building was already
rented and fixtures for one costing 5000

house, any kind of q house temporarily,
and wait until store house can be
built. and will then lease it. Does auy-
