IS HANDSOME STRUCTURE

Ensley, November 15.-(Special )-With the placing of the plate glass fronts and windows the new Morris building at Sev- enteenth street and Avenue D will be ready for the final touches and the enter- prising business concerns that will take possession of the six handsome store rooms on the ground floor.
 The plate glass windows have been de- layed for some cause but are expected to arrive at once. After the arrival of these the building will be put fin shape for the occupants within a few days and 1t Is believed that this will be &C., complshed by the middle of next week.
 The firms that have leased the store rooms in the new building are, Glenn Burk company, groceries: Lewis Breaux. barber; Washington & Trucks, groceries; T. F. Faircloth, dry goods and clothing; Walker Drug Co.,, Dr. c. l.. Walker pro- prietor. These firms will begin moving their stocks into the new building as soon as the plate glass fronts are in.
 It Is understood that all the houses to be vacated by the firms going into the new building have been rented and none will be allowed to remain vacant many days. There Is a strong demand for suitable business houses in Ensley and it is believed that two or three more buildings like the Norris would be taken by substantial tenants as soon as com pleted.
 The new Morris block is one of the handsomest and best business houses in the city. It fronts 150 feet on Avenue E and runs back 50 feet. Ninety feet of the frontage is two stories and sixty feet is only one story. The front is finished in very handsome design of pressed brick and marble.
 D. w. Morris will have a private office on the second floor while the remainder of this floor will be fitted up for lodge room purposes. It Is understood that sev- eral of the local orders have made ar engagements to hold their meetings in the new quarters.
