moved into their handsome new store sometime next month.
 The handsome two-story concrete block stosehouse for Ed. Berry X Son is nearing completion, and will be ready Tor occupancy in two or three weeks. It is one of the, if not the handsomest store building in Eastern Arkansas. The concrete contract was awarded to Mr. ". J. Stolzer, the con crete man, and the woodwork and car pentering to MT. W. C. Moore, a splen did contractor and workman. The front design is especially attractive. The building Is 26x1l2 feet and two stories, with broad staircase, elevator, skylight. well ghted and elevated counting room. and all modern conye- nienees, and would be credit of its class to Memphis or any other city. We congratulate Berry X Son upon their enterprise. They will fill this immense storeroom with general mer- chandise, and do furnishing business.
 Scott Bond & Sons, are and have been for some time occupying their handsome new concrete block store house, also built by Mr. Stolzer. It is two feet shorter than Capt. Berry's house, but it is two or more feet wider. and also two stories, making them of about equal floor space, with elevator, skylight and handsomely equipped office, etc. Bond & Sons have an i'm mense stock of general merchandise, and are doing an ex tenSiye furnishing business, the only colored furnishing house in the county, so far as we know. We are getting out some very attrac- ve matter for this firm in the way of store Bulletin. to be issued weekly Tor some time to come, which will also contain q column Of personals and news items and they will probably carry full page advertisement with The Times for several weeks little later on. No. of Vol. of this Store Bul- letin was issued yesterday from The Times presses, and is quite credita- bic and ingenious advertiS ng scheme.
 The North Arkansas Coored Bap- tist District Association will meet at Madison on October 9th, and elabo- rate preparations are being made by the enterprising colored folks of Madi- son and yicinity.tO entertain the yisi- standing in colored religious and so- ciety circles. Scott Bond made il pos Sible for the church to make some i'm prOvements in it's property and enlarge it's church building. MT. Chas. Delane of this city, has the contract to build an addition 90 feet long, which will almost, if not more, than double the capacity of the church building, and make it ample for the proper accom- modation of the large congregations expected on this and other occasions
