Phil. Sindlinger's New Brick Building
----------
          Phil. Sindlinger, the proprietor of this new building which has been so much admired and so often complimented during the present season, came to this city in 1864, in very ordinary circumstances.  He engaged in the butchering business, locating his meat market at the corner of Washington and Pike streets, directly opposite where his new brick building now stands, which has been his constant place of business from that day to this.  He commenced business in a very samll way, and by devoting his entire attention it it, working early and late, and constantly practicing the most rigid economy in all things, always prompt to discharge every obligation and fulfill every promise, he has built up a business from which he receives a handsome income, and placed him in a condition to assist in improving the town in which he has made his money, and thereby give employment to our industrious mechanics, and again put in circulation of this city, thousands of dollars.
          When Mr. Sindlinger made up his mind to erect this new building, he also determined as far as possible, to have all the work done by our resident mechanics, and instead of going away from home and paying an exorbitant price for an architect to draw up plans and specifications, he contracted with  Mr. E. B. Wingate,  a native of this county, who has gained considerable notoriety as a contractor and builder, for the erection and completion of the building, and be it said to his credit that he has succeeded most admirable.  The building is well proportioned and handsomely finished.  There are two store rooms below, 20x50 feet, with 15 foot ceilings.  The West room will be occupied by  Dr. J. W. Parrish & Son,  with a Drug and Book Store, regarding whom we shall have more to say in our next issue.  The East room has not yet been rented, but is mst favorably located and suitably arranged for a Grocery Store, and we have no doubt that the lucky individual who occupies it, who ever he may be, will succeed in drawing a lively trade.  The second story is suitably arranged for a public hall.  It contains ten large front and side windows and two in the rear of the room, rendering it very light and airy and affording most excellent facilities for ventilation.  We predict that this will soon become the popular hall for all public entertainment, such as balls, festivals, and the like.  It will be opened for the first time on next Wednesday evening, at which time a grand ball will be given for the benefit of  Miss Jennie Morairity,  the female pdestrienne.
          It is but justice to say that the stone work of the building was done in ....
