The Big New Store.
The handsome two-story building
for Etheridge, Smith & Cos., which
has been in course of construction for
some time, is being pushed rapidly
on, and is now assuming such shape
that you can see how beautiful it will
be when completed. A large force of
carpenters has been engaged to hurry
to completion the upper story, which
will be finished in golden oak, and
will be a model of convenience. As
soon as this is completed the entire
stock of goods will be moved i.p
stairs, and the business will go on
uninterrupted as it has been since the
work was first begun. The lower floor
will be finished in mahogany, which
will give the interior an exceedingly
handsome appearance. This hand
some building has excited much ad
miration among the people, and the
management is to be congratulated
for the way the trade has been han
dled during the building.
