AdOrn Main Street.

One driving over ElktOn can but remark
what spirit of improvement is abroad, and
everywhere are evidences Of progress and
thrift, and especially in the central business

noticeable in the new brick buildings which
are being erected by r. b. Frazer, the pro-
gressve druggist, on Main Street Just above
the Court House. on the site of the building
recently occupied by the harness store of j.
Will Perkins, & Co.
The erection of these two handsome and
modern storehouses marks the passing of one
of Elkton's oldest business Places and while
the falling of the old wall carried away many
memories OF a bygone period in the business
history Of the town, the coming of the new is
hailed with welcome by every citizen as mark
ing the fact that enterprise is abroad.
OF the two buildings. the one adjoining his
present place OF business, will be occupied by
DIR. Frazer, while the other will be leased by
Perkins IL Co. The walls of the building
have been completed and the carpenters and
inside ilnishers are now working rapidly to
have the structures in readiness for occupancy
by the second week in December, when they
will be opened to the public.
They are two stories high. and tho fronts
attractive and neat, are of Pompeian brick
with slate stone trimmings. Three double
windows adorn the front on the second story.
Mr.. FraHer's store will be in Dimensions 2Ox7O

will be in corrugated and ornamental steel,
and the sides of the main room will be wains-
coted. In the front of the store twelve foot

ply for display and lighting, the framework
of the window as well as the cornice being OF

ninsula.

up and have a bulk show window eight feet
wide. The building is being erected under
the direction Of Mr.. Frazer, who in its ac-
complishment shows, that he has decided
