THE JEFFERSON COUNTY SAVINGS BANK BUILDING

In just a few days in excess Of six

Fred w. Mark, the contractor whose
forces erected the building
1t was on March 1s. at 1915 o'clock, this
year, that Mr.. Ensley fastened the first
bolt in the first steel pillar of the new
building. Despite the fact that there was
a strike of about 80 days duration, which
involved the building, and unusual stormy
summer weather, the building has gone
forward rapidly.
In local building circles the speed in
constructing the building has excited
wonder and interest. The usual Indifferent
attitude of one builder or one architect

competitor has been dropped in the light
Of the construction and locally Mr.. Wes-
tori and Mr.. Mark have been showered
with congratulations over their achies e.

finished. However, tenants were comfort
ably installed there on October l. which
IS one of the moving days, and passenger
Elevator service was initiated. The task,
according to Mr.. Weston and Mr.. Mark,
has been a very trying one and one that
presented many difficulties and doubts.

Miss Rittenberry showed an intimate ac>

the great conflicts between the two armies
and was always fair to both the gray

great interest and at the conclusion she
was the recipient of a hearty round of
appaluse.
Among the business transacted at the
meeting was the election of delegates to
the Confederate States reunion, which will
be held in the fall resulting as follows:
