Mr. F. R. Austin's proposition to erect a new and modern post office building on the southeast corner of Market and Fulton street, diagonally across from the new courthouse, has been accepted by the Post Office Department, and a contract for five years has been signed by "Uncle Sam" for same.
The new building is to be three stories high, with all modern conveniences, of brick and stone, according to plans and specifications submitted by the Department. The second and third stories will be arranged for offices for professional men, while the first floor will be used exclusively for the post office.
The contract for the new building will be let in a few days, as the contract with the Government requires that it be completed and ready for occupancy by the 1st of November next.

Ground will be broken this week for Greenwood's handsome new post office building, to be erected at the corner of Market and Fulton streets.
The old sheet iron structure, formerly occupied by Phillip's plumbing shop, has been demolished.
There will be general rejoicing among the employees when the new structure is ready for occupancy, as the present quarters are entirely inadequate for present needs.

Hon. W. M. Whittington has bought from Mr. F. R. Austin the present post office building on Market Street, the consideration being $7,000. This property is admirably located, and the price at which Mr. Whittington bought it was a bargain. The building is one of the handsomest and most substantial on the street, and he contemplates adding another story to the structure in the near future.

The Court Square Grocery opened for business yesterday and the visitors to the store have spared no praise in declaring it one of the most beautifully appointed and equipped grocery stores in Mississippi. An inspection of the handsome store finds a splendid display of foodstuffs attractively arranged and a most sanitary modern grocery and meat market.
Mr. Carroll Curtiss, for many years connected with the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, as manager of one of the A & P Stores in New Orleans, is the operator of the store. That Mr. Curtiss thoroughly understands the grocery business is attested by those who have visited the store since its opening. He has won many friends since his arrival in the city.
Those who have not yet visited this fine store are invited to do so today. There's a pleasant and appetizing surprise awaiting them and they will join in welcoming the store and its manager as a part of the business and social life of Greenwood.
