Ihree more shares Of stock has been
sold which brings the list Of original
subscribers up to forty five, and as
sures $4,000 that the company will be

hind this enterprise have no other ides
but what they will make it pronounced
success.
The Macon Lyceum Company has
bought the lot Immediately north OF the
old billiard Hotel lot for 100000 and
the east half has been sold for $3.50 leav-
ing $50 feet front on Jefferson street and
about 1j9 feet back. The managers
think they will be able TO sell the north

than $500 90; this will make the lot on
which the Lvceum ia 10 be hnilt cost
S25O0OO, and the building can be erected
