Changes of Business Houses VIII Take Place in september--News of
 The Central
 City.

Selma. Aug. 25--(Special) )--Durtng the month of September there will be q great number of business changes in Selma.
 A number of business concerns now located on Broad Street will move to different localities on that thorough fare. while other concerns will move to different localities upon other streets. While some of the business houses will move. others are preparing to remodel the front of their stores.
 The changing about of the different business houses on Broad Street and the moving of others to different To- calities will not leave a vacant store in Selma's retail district. All of the stores that will be vacated have been rented and in them there will be open ed new businesses. In a number of instances the places in the different parts of the city which, are now oceu- pied by saloons and which will go out of business with the beginning of the new year, have been rented and will be occupied by new business concerns of all descriptions.
 The demand for stores in the bust- ness part of the city is no greater than is the demand for houses in the resi- dent portions of the city. The real estate agents have few houses on their lists that have not been rented for the year, which begins on october 1.
 During the past year c great many cottages have been built in all parts of the city, but as quickly as they have been finished a tenant moved into them and the number of residences which have been built have not been enough to supply the demand which is now be. ing made upon the real estate agents.
