COOKEVILLE'S
BUILDING
sc PROGRESS

The building boom in COokeville is
growing apace, and the advent OF
spring weather has given it decided
impetus. The Heraldp prediction
sixty days ago, that the year 1921
would be record bfeaker with refer
ence to residence building in Cooke
vile has more than been borne out,
for more than ten houses have been
constructed already, and the building
season proper has not as y arriv-
ed.
The Cookeville Building Co., have
fourteen houses under course of con-
struction, about four of which are
practically finished and ready to be
occupied, while the other ten will be
completed within the next thirty days.
Before these are all nnished, how
! ever, more bids will be asked for
with view to erecting something
like ten more houses in the different
parts of the city. Eight of the four
teen houses mentioned are being
built in West Cookeville and six Of
them in East Cookeville.
y s. II. Young is erecting a modern
bungalow on the lot recently pur-
chased by him, on the east side of
Dixie Ave-, and hopes to have same
ready for occupancy in a short while.
Mr.. Young has had his residence on
the west side Of Dixie Ave-, torn
down, and little later expects to
build a modern residence on the lot,
which is one OF the most beautiful
and desirable locations in town.
R. H. Writ is having a nice little
cottage built just at tho end of Ce-
.dar street, and this house will be fin
-ished In q few days.
Four or five new houses have re-
Gently been built in the extreme
western part Of the corporation, by
different people, all Of which are nice
convenient homes. The two hand
spme new bungalows on East Broad
street, belonging to Geo. B. Haiie
arenow on the market, SO We under
stand, and there are possibly a dozen
more nice residences planned to be
built by the enterprising citizens OF
the town who have decided to get in
to the building game, and help to
give the town boost such as she has
never before experienced.

GREAT RUSSIAN
SYMPHONY
OCHESTRA
RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR MUSIC
LOVERS.

Cookeville, Putnam county and the
adjoining counties have the oppor-
tunity of securing the Russian Sym
phony Orchestra for two performance
es in March, a matinee and an even
ing program, if the guarantee can be
raised.
This is a rare opportunity for the
music lovers of this section to hear
the very best orchestral music by the
most wonderful orchestra in Ameri-
ca. The question of their coming will
of course hinge upon the guarantees
for the two performances. The
amount of the guarantee will be af-
teen hundred dollars for the two per
formances, and had we an auditori-
um that would seat several thousand
people it would be easy TO. sell tick
cts enough to guarantee his amount.
This presents crying need In Cooke
vile for a large and comfortably
seated auditorium that should be
built at the earliest opportunity.
With the three splendid schools ana
the growing citizenship, 1t is . ne
cessity, II we ever hope to have good
things Of musical or dramatis ma
ture come to our town.
This opportunity OF having the Rus
sian Symphony Orchestra Is q rare
one, indeed. as they are booked Sfor
only the largest cities. but through
the interest Of Mr.. Colin Richmond
and Mrs. Rutledge Smith, the man
ager. Mr.. A. P. Bourfand Of WasA-
ington, d. c., is considering the pre-
position of bringing his orchestra 70
Cookeville very favorably.
The Russian Symphony Orchestra
has been one Of the most popular or
organizations throughout TIE
length and breadth Of this country.
The Washington Star says:
so perfect ist he discipline Of tAis
organization that its plAy-
Ing has the temp ramental appeal q
an individual performance"
eLt US hope that We may have this
rare musical treat.
