[[Liggett (surname) | Liggett]] opening on March 23rd last.  [[Liggett Dry Good Store]] was destroyed by the [[Acadome]] conflagration, a portion of the goods were saved and Mr. [[Liggett (surname) | Liggett]] opened out again in [[Kauke (surname) | Kauke]] old residence, N Market Street, one door north of county buildings where he did an extensive business for that locality.  The bricks in the ruins were hardly cold before he began laying plans for erection of a new building on site of the old one.  Visiting many of the eastern cities with architect Mr. CC [[Baker (surname) | Baker]], he took notes of various buildings and  an outline was secured and architect produced a draft which met the wishes of Mr. [[Liggett (surname) | Liggett]].  Thereupon, the well known brick layers [[Tiefenthaler Bros.]], commenced putting up the walls to make the building fire proof, an important fact sought after. The walls are closed on both sides and at the rear where a fire wall projects above.  The roof is tinted and skylights are arranged in bonnet shape facing the north from which direction fire is not likely to enter.  The front is a combination of design of brick and stone, lower floor is enclosed with heavy plate glass set in imitations of iron frames.  The trimmings in upper portions are of pressed stone from manufactory of CM [[Amslen (surname) | Amslen]], which makes a very smart appearance.  The interior of the building is quite attractive.  Capt. [[Cyrnes (surname) | Cyrnes]] did plastering.  A clear white hard finish and plane cornice with semi ornamental center pieces constitute the attention of the first floor and looking up to the skylight seems like looking into a vast snow bank as pure and white is the plastering.  A handsome stair case leads to the second floor which Mr. CC [[Gasche (surname) | Gasche]] built.  The counter and shelving are the work of CC [[Baker (surname) | Bakaer]] and painting by Samuel [[Metzler (surname) | Metzler]], the crowning work of the enterprise.  Mr. [[Liggett (surname) | Liggett]] has laid in a new stock of goods which has not as yet been fully arranged for.  It will be done in a day or two.  One and all are invited to call and examine the goods.  Mr. [[Liggett (surname) | Liggett]] has able clerks who will be happy to welcome all of their friends back.<br>
