May 20, l909

GEORGE FARQUHAR, who recently bought of J.F. PENNIWELL the lot upon
which the C.E. HENDERSON Barber Shop stands, has decided to erect a
modern brick building thereon at once.

The work of tearing away the old frame building will begin at once and
the excavating will begin as soon as the building is removed. The new
structure will be one story and basement and will be l6x72 feet in
size. It will be built of brick and modernly constructed throughout. A
furnace will be installed in the basement to heat the structure. MR.
FARQUHAR has leased the building to OREL ESTES, of Decatur, who will
operate a first-class restaurant therein. MR. ESTES also operates
several other restaurants in the county and is an experienced restaurant
man. The new building will be fitted up especially for MR. ESTES and
will be well adapted for the purpose for which it will be used. MR.
HENDERSON has bought of MR. PENNIWELL the lot just south of that owned
by MR. FARQUHAR and will move into the building on the site as soon as
R.I. BENEFIEL, who conducts a news stand therein, finds another
location.
