A residence ingenious in its construction is
being built by Mr.. G. o. Bryant, who owns a
large tract about two miles north of Sligo,

growth of trees, from which the lumber neces-
sary for the building was cut. In every way
Mr. Bryant is using his own ability to make
the residence unique one. He drew the
plans kad his own lumber cut and sawed on
the spot, and is personally supervising its con-
struction When completed it will be three
stories and an attic in height The designs
are original and artistic. There will be porte
cochere and an observatory with a revolving
tower, from which magnificent view of the
surrounding country can be obtained. The
house will be heated by steam, which will also
provide the motive power for an elevator. The
ceilings will be of metal and, instead of plaster,
dressed oak boards will be utilized The
weatherboards will be sheathed with galyan-
lied iron, The house will be one of excep-
tional strength for frame building, and every
modern Improvement will be taken advantage
