Smittitirld ha* a hotel build ing that is a credit to the town. The market house which has just been tiuished and which furnishes ou the first floor commodious and comt'ottable quarters for our honorable Mayor and his court in addition to the ueat, cleanly, screen-protected, well kept meat stalls, is also a credit to the town, and would be to a town five times the size of Smith tield. The latest in architectural beau ty is the new building of Mr. J. I D. Spiers on the corner of Third and Market streets, just oppo site Hood Bros.' drug store. The building is 26JJ x 100 feet, two stories high, and presents a very attractive front. The French plate-glass display win dows are 8 feet wide and <> feet deep, have brass Coulson bars and are closed in at the back with plate-glass mirrors. Fpon entering the store, on the right are seen shelves that run to the ceiling. Here the shoes are kept. A running ladder makes it easy to show readily the differeut grades of shoes in stock. On the left side are shelves for the dress goods. These shelves are 27 inches deep and the bolts of cloth can be placed in endwise thus saving space, besides protecting the goods. Both sets of shelves are, like the other fittings, tiuished in a light oak. 1- 1 O : ? 1 i n iur irai io oefii au ? o iluli raised platform 20 x 24 feet which is the home of^tbe Millinery De partment.

Mrs. Tom Harrison and Mies Mary Hickman were the millin ers of the past season. A handsome winding stairway finished in oak, leads to the second floor. Mr. Spiers propos es to fit this second floor as a salesroom also. The large windows furnish an abundance of light during the day and at night the Gillette Gasoline lights supply a soft steady illumination which al most equals the day light. This handsome two-story building is the most conveniently arranged store in the county for the class of patronage which it serves. The Hotel is due the enterprise of a corporation, the Market House to the enterprise of the town, J. I). Spiers' new store is J due to the enterprise of Mr. J D. Spiers and is a fitting expresion of the regard in which he holds \ bis customers and also his faith in the town. Mr. Spiers went into the mer-! cantile business six years ago, j beginning modestly but with the determination to succeed. He ; has succeeded. He bas gained the confidence of the community and now has a large and increas-1 ing trade, carrying a $ 15,000 stock. 11: i J i -*? ? me euccees u:-?s uouuuess oeen in part due to his able corps of assistants.
