New Business Building to Be Erected.

Mr.. +. G.. O'Bryln, of Madison
vile, was here several days the lat
ter part of last week, arranging for
the Improvement of his 81 foot lot
on North Main, next to the Lam
building. He decided to build a
two story house covering the lot, to
he devidcd into two rooms, ground
aud second floors. The south room,
below, has been leased by Messrs.
Frank Is. Panncll * Co., and will
be nsed for a pool and billiard hall,
viii c the up stairs has been leased for
two years by party of young men
who will ht il up as modern club
room, employing all modern con
viences, including a club kitchen.
This is thing that the city has
long needed, as there is no place
where young men can meet and en-
tertain their local and visiting
friends. The north section, up
stairs, will be divided into Office
sections, to suit, and will be taken,
while the store room beneath is
likely to be occupied as soon as
ready. Heat, water and light will
be supplied, and the latest fea-
lures of convenience incorporated
throughout in the structure. This
will in pleasing way hli the gap,
and make the block the most pleas
ing in the city, as all buildings arc
modern, and of two and three story
construction. With DIVERSIFIED, rep
resentative concerns that are here
and coming, this section should be
the principal business block in
town.
