HOTEL IS CONTEMPLATED

 where he stood day after day pointing that massive hand toward the place of his birth and telling millions of the greatest Iron district on earth. Then, after an extensive travelling tour of advertising he has returned to these hills which arc blood of his blood bone of his bone, and with the same philosophy that governed his actions in ancient times, takes his stand at the middle point between Bir- mingham, Ensley and Bessemer, yet, with an air of certainty. the face has swung round to the Steel City and the fore finger points truly to the cradle of the iron industry of the south, the back bone of the district, which, with old Vulcan as its mascot, will soon rule the price of iron throughout the whole world"
 Twelve Now Buildings.
 A fine hotel will soon be erected on Avenue D and Nineteenth street. The need has long been felt, for there are many men who never have been able to secure accommodations in the city. Board ing houses and the two present hotels are always crowded and some are forced bO betk rOOHS III
 Within the next few months the two story frame building which occupies the southeast corner of E and Nineteenth will be torn down and modern brick, eighty five feet square, will be constructed. The lower floor will be fitted up for business house, and two upper floors will have every convenience of an up-to-date hotel The building is to be great addition to the appearance of the town.
 Oliver Chalifoux of Birmingham has bought number of lots on Avenue and two-story brick, and will open up a large department store. Every line from groceries to dry goods and clothing will be carried. An effort will be made and is sure to be successful, to catch the trade which now goes to the large stores in Birmingham. The undertaking has the backing of many prominent business men, who are confident that the quality and value of the stock will match anything in the larger city.
 | On Avenue B. between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, at the alley corner. work will soon begin on a modern two
 
 planned by prominent lumber man, will cost $6ooo. Two stores will occupy the l lower floor and the second story will be | fitted up for offices.
 Evans & Simpson have just laid the | first brick on d model plumbing shop just | behind Smiley's livery stable on Nine- teenth street. The plumbers promise to l have the best arrangements for doing the work of so large a city as Ensley. ht.faI haty ,,tiI1 l H and Nineteenth street shortly, J. Lavae, well known baker who has operated | here for several years, will be the owner and proprietor.
 Four stores, the property of Mrs. J. w l Wallace, on Eighteenth street, near Ave nue E, are now being completed and will | be occupied by the renters in few days The fine exchange of the Bell Telephone company and the Birmingham Railway, | Light and Power company's new depot are | rising rapidly, and will soon grace Nine teenth street with imposing pressed brick fronts
 l This is a total of twelve new brick build ings. indeed most wonderful record for one year. Who can foretell the extent which these great improvements will reach before another decade has passed?
 The town stretches out in all direc- | tions. Seven of these new stores are scat | tered along the whole of Nineteenth street while others are springing up on every corner. Land holdings all over the city are l more valuable than many of those in Bir- | mingham. Men who invested a few dollars in dirt when Ensley was first organized are now rejoncing in large dividends and sure rentals.
