Fayetteville, October 6.-Mr. Ellis
worth, government agent. is here today
in the matter Of Of selecting site for
the public building to be erected in this
city. The public has had its eye on
several locations much desirable; the
Mckefthan lot, corner of Person and
Dick streets; the Barnes lot on the east
side of Gillespie street; the Vanstory
lot on the east side Of Gillespie street,
the only objection to whic his that it
adjoints the court house, and we would
have two public buildings together; the
plaza in front of the armory. Many
favor the graded school building on
Hay street, and putting up a school
building elsewhere Other good sites
are the lots Of E. H. Jennings, Russell
street; c. J. Cooper, Gillespie street, J.
c. Vann, Hay and Maxwell; Mcmillan
Brothers, Person; H. Lutterloh, corner
Franklin and Donaldson. Mr. Ellis
worth inspected all these, but nothing
has yet been given out as to a decision.

three "Shoo fly" trains to come in at
the upper passenger station, where
travel is often congested by the i'm
mense through freight business.
