Sam Lipscomb, of Asbury, one of Cherokee’s foremost citizens and a fine business man, is preparing to erect two brick stores on Limestone street in the vacant lot between Kirby’s market and the stable built by the Poag Mule Co. One of the stores will be three stories high and the other two, the lower floor is to be used for merchandising, and the up per probably for office rooms. A portion of the building will be right over the small branch that be j crosses the street at that point, and a culvert will be erected underneath for the water to pass through. Hands are now at work on the spot cleaning out the hollow and prepar ing a place for the foundation. This has long been an ugly spot ou the city’s main thoroughfare, and Mr. Lipscomb’s building will not only be a splendid addition to the business houses of the city, but it will make a wonderful improvement in the ap pearance of that particular part of the street. the top and a full mousseiine de soie.
