Many Business Houses and Residences
 Are Springing Up.
 Dothan, Feb. 16.-(Special)- )--The sound of tho saw and the hammer is' being heard in nothan these days as never before, and on every side new buildings are springing up with start ling rapidity. These include both resi- dences and business housese and are in dicative of the city's wonderful growth. Not long ago, as has been previously chronicled. a gentleman whose home, was destroyed by fire was compelled 10 move his family and househould ef- fects to another city because of his inability to procure another place of residence here. and the scramble for houses Is still on. What is true of residences in this respect Is true also of storehouses, dozen of which could ! be rented within a week if they were I only to be had. There Is at present not vacant storeroom in pothan, and several persons from elsewhere who J are anxious to enter business are com pelled to simply btde their time. The handsome stone front building of the Houston National Bank Is near ing completion, and it will not be long before this institution Is luxuriously en sconced in new quarters This makes the ffth bank for Dothan, and their statements, published in the local pa- pGESt HHOW lAlhl dAt VI thOtil otS AiA a flourishiug condition, with ample capi- tai, and with deposits which go to show how thrifty and saving are the people of this town and and coun- ty.
 There is renewed interest among citi- zens here in the project for securing government building for the city. A numerously signed petition will be for warded today or tomorrow to Congress, asking that body to pass the bill in troduced by MT. Clayton providing for such a building. The postofflce de- partment has written to Postmaster Byron Trammel, asking that he furnish certain information relative to the probable amount of floor space which would be required, and MT. Trammel has replied. giving not only this infor- nation. but other figures showing the remarkable growth of the local post office within the past ten years. Mir. Trammel believes that the gross re- caipts of the ofioe for the present year will exceed those of last year by fully S2.0O0, and he thinks that it will not be long until free delivery will be
