SOUTHERN BUILDING NEWS.
The Southern Building News deals with

nature of alterations and improvements
than in any extensive building OF new
structures The remode!ing of stores,
theatres. churches and factories has not,
however occupied the entire attention OF
the various offices, but it is doubtful II

the year will reach the $4,000 mark. This
cannot be said of buildings which have
been begun within the past few months.
several of which, notably the depot Of the
Southern Railway and the union depot OF
The Chesapeake and Ohio and the Peters
burg and Carolina railroads, will go into.

these larger buildings will not be COM
pleted for year or more, they belong
properly to the present season and Will
be so treated.
Government and municipal work has
been at standstill, alterations and en-
and post-otiice building being the only
achievements in the one. and the con-
struction Of an $500 engine house the
only addition to the citys buildings.
