BIGGEST PLATE
CLASS IN CITY

The two big plate glass win

new office building. The one in
the Citizens Bank part of the
building is over II feet long and
nearly 8 feet high, the largest
plate glass in town. 1t was
shipped on a fiat car, the South
ern Railway got it here from
Richmond in only three days, and
the glass was blown especially
as it was not a stock size.
Charley Hamilton, who knows
horses and teaming as few men
do, undertook the difficult job of
bringing the big piece of glass
from the depot. He got it to the
building safely Of course---for
what Charley Hamilton starts
out to do he does!
The freight was SAT, and the
two pieces cost $217. Rigby-

Ch3ut3uqua?
Dr.. StTOuSG?

The old Chautauqua or better
known as the Auditorium, which
has lain in a heap of ruins since
its downfall last winter is being
reconstructed. Judge Blythe has
recently purchased the wrecked
property, and hopes to rush the
new building to finish in a
months time.
The new structure will stand
on the same site as the old one
did. The floor will be of the
same dimensions, but the plans
will vary a great deal, The front
being a different pattern and the
walks much higher. AS a whole
the new structure will be more
substantial than the old and in
every respect will be free from
danger.
It has been rumored that there
will be a Chautauqua, VAUDEVILLE
or some other entertainment.
Mr.. Blythe says at the present
he can't positively say there will
be any amusement though he in
tends to have the work complet-
ed so as to meet the requirement is
of any amusements he may see
fit to have.

WATER CHEAPER.

At the last regular meeting of
the Board of Commissioners the
minimum rate was changed from
Soc to 25c, allowing for the 25c
1850 gallons.
This does to change the price
per gallon of water, but allows
the small consumer to pay only
1850 gallons if he SO desires, in
stead of $500 gallons.
Tt was the original purpose OF
the Board to so fix the water
rates that any and all persons
could by economy, obtain their
water supply cheaper than under
the former plan. So when it
was discovered that those people
having only one faucet were pay
ing SIS. so per annum and under
the rates first prescribed for the
meters the minimum figure at
which any water at all could be
had was $500 per annum, the
charge was Immediately made
under the rates as now fixed, these
parties can, if they 50 elect, get
their water for $500 per annum
and thereby save So. SO.
