 John Hurd has been appointed as assistant station agent at St. Joe, which position we understand he has accepted. John has sort of railroad 7 turn and will doubtless make an ac- ceptable employe. In view of his recent loss by fire we heartily congratulate him on his success in securing profitable employment.
 The main street building boon con- tinues to spread out and it is now prac- tically assured that three two-story brick buildings will go up within few months. J. c. Tabor has already removed the wooden building off his lot and active work on his building has been going on for several days. Next to his Tabor, Foreman 6: Harbert have : about completed all arrangements necessary for store 27x80 over which will be located an Odd Fellow and Woodman hall. Adjoining this build ing Rhodes & O'Neal will take the site of w. A. Butts undertaking estab- l lishmentand will erect thereon another brick of like size, the upper story to be , owned and used by Mr. Butt for his business. Over J. c. Tabor's build ing T. o. Walker proposes to answer 7 the much needed demand for a town , hall. The two lodges mentioned have agreed to the arrangements and unless there is flicker somewhere that is not now thought of, it seems the buildings will all be built.
