shown in Substantial Manner.
 Dothan May 20-(Special )---There is no cessation in the work Of building here in Dothan, and almost every day a new structure is begun or plans for the erection of one are announced. The Dotnan National Bank, on :he corner of Main and Foster streets. Is prepar- ing to make extensive and costly im- provements to the two story building new occupied and owned by that in- stitution, the aggregate outlay oI which will be in the neighborhood of x70,000. The premises to be occupied bv the bank will be extended back so as to take in two small stores in the rear The interior finish will be especially costly, consisting of tiIing, marble. frescoing. mahogany, etc.
 Work has already begun on the three story building which M CCherry will erect on Main stret. near the court house. This building will be within fifty yards of the new Dothan National Bank. and the two together will noI fail to add greatly to the appearance of that portion of the city.
 The store, on Foster street, of W. R. Mckenzie, which was recently SC badly gutted by fire, is being renova- ted. As to size it is one of the larges; in Dothan, and when the projected i'm provements are completed it will be one of the most attractive business stands in Southeast Alabama.
 The local ofice of the Western Un- ion is now comfortably installed in the new quarters on Main street, across from The Home Journal office. where more room and more light Is afforded than at the old Foster street place. The business of the local office continues to grow. keeping pace with the growth of the town itself. and two messenger boys are now found neces- sary to keep up with the rush of work
 There is a constant increase in the attendance upon the three Sunday schools of Dothan which is gratifying to the superintendents and teachers. One of the former said today that 1t would be a safe assertion that no other town in Alabama the size of Dothan had Sunday schools of such size re- garding attendance.1
