Show Good Buildings. The foundations are now being laid for a couple of very large buildings immediately south of the Ccsperative Btore. For some time poet tbe cellars have been digging, and an enormouB hole was made. Judging, however, from the foundation walls being rapidly put down, tbe buildings to be erected will be such as the city can be proud of and will greatly enhance the value of property in that vicinity. One is being erected by Zion's Cooperative Co-operative Mercantile Institution, and tho other by MeEsrs. S.tudebaker Bros., wagon makers, of South Bend, Indiana. It is also noticeable that new buildings build-ings are being erected in every direction direc-tion in the city limits, nearly all of a Bubdlantial character and such as will be a credit to the owners. In view of the fact that nothing more thoroughly argues a condition of prosperity than the knowledge of increased building in a city, we may feel confident that business is once more on a thorough basis, and that the star of prosperity is again in tbe ascendant. |
