No. 13 BREVARD BUILDING OPERATIONS MAKE A MOVE FORWARD Signs of Awakening Evident From Work Now Under Way and From Plans That Are Being Projected. PRIVATE RESIDENCES AND BUS- INESS HOUSES ON WAY: That Brevard is waking up, in the matter of building more houses is evident from the list of those already mentioned in recent issues of Tiie News and others which will soon be well under way. Perhaps “boom” is too extravagaiit a word to describe the movement as yet, but a wave has certainly begun to make itself felt, though the crest is not yet in sight. The building and developing work carried on by Miss Florence Kem ^W'as mentioned in last week^s issue. %In North Brevard Luther Salts has «rected and is now occupying a resi dence which adds x^eh to the street up Gallamore HiH. ^ ^ A Busier Broiid. ;. Broad street wilJ look more like a ■•business thoTouglifnre when the build ing operations planned are completed. George Philip is to -occupy the corner of Broad and Jordan with a brick store building fm the manufacture and sale of things good to eat; while further up fhc street the Pickelsimer building ’wHl iiTl fhe present yawning j gap bf^ tween the Dunns Rock Build- j ing i.nd the Davis - Walker Drug i Store. j The Pickelsimcr building is to be ) erected as soon as the bricks arrive, j according to Elza Hamilton, who has | the contract for doing the work. The cobblestone pillars, formerly enter ing into the -flesign, were removed this week.

Prmite Residences: Beside the Tiuilding plans for pri vate occupation as yet ‘‘in the air”,' definite steps are now being taken for the erection of two such houses. J. W. Smith has already started the j construction of a seven - room house i next door to the residence which h« j now occupies •on Maple Street. The , new house will be of the pebble dash | variety, and will be used by Mr. and Mrs. Smith as their home. On a beautiful location on Probarte Street, next to Mrs. Laura Miller’s place, R. P. Kilpatrick is making pre parations to Iroild a seven or eight room bungalow, which he expects to be able to occupy before the summer is over. Charley PicTcelsimer’s brick bung alow on Main Street, which is now waiting for interior work, will receive its finishing touclies in the near fut ure. All told, the building operations now under way or waiting for the op portune time to begin, will mean the investment of $30,000 or more in the growth of the toT^Tu i' SCENE NEAR BREVARD REVIVAL SERVICE WELL ATTENDED Large Congregations Drawn to Bap tist Church to Hear Preaching of Rev.
