Jay Valbert will build .':". on the east lot. while Flota will build tn the west one  and when it ig com¬ pleted the teed store will be    moved Into the room.    We have not    heard what Jay Valbert intends to use tbe east room for.
Wtth the dandy new building Just completed by Jerry Bowman on the south side, and the new building now being erected by R. E. McCormick, tbe business section of Flora is being materially improved. This, together with the new residences finished and under construction, gives us a very healthy building program. Waltch Flora grow.
