SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION.

There Is tide in the affairs of men,
which, when taken at the food leads to
fortune.n 1t Is this flood tide, upon the
waves Of which all prosperous persons,
whether in political professional or
commercial life have reached the haven
where final success at last crowned their
efforts; the goal reached, each of them.
as the sell-made hero in his drama, can
look back upon the past Of his own life,
well spent on the slow but sure road to
wealth, A fit Illustration of what these
few lines claim, is furnished In this city
when II Is seen that men with persever-
ing zeal and thorough integrity of
dealing in all business transactions, have
built up mammoth establishments in
our midst that are at once the pride Of
the city and an honor to the owner and
conceptor.
For some time past 1t has been pub
lished that Mr.. j.. Wolfson was intend
ing to make some changes in the inte-
rior of his store, and foundries and me-
ohanios have been quite busy preparing
the needed material. All this pre-
liminary work has now sufficiently
advanced that the work will begin
at the end of this month. How
ever, in order to accomplish this, a
large stock OF furniture and carpets must
be closed out TO make room, said Mr..
Wolfson to n LImr representative; all
these goods have been remarked low,
and You can buy them, they being new,
at less figures than you pay for second
hand goods. Convince yourself, exam
Inc the goods and prices marked on the
same.
II will not be ut all surprising If the
rush that has been made for Wolfson's
viii be increasing. and kept up during
this month. The LIGIlT advises all who
wish TO replace old carpets with new
ones to take look at the assortment al
WOlisOn's and secure untold bargains.

The Poor We Have Always.

Mr.. j. II. Marquart, our well known
boot maker, Is public benefactor In
more ways than one. The suffering
poor appreciate his existence quite as
much as his best girl. Every morning
the scraps OF his shop, refuse, old cast
of shoes OF all sizes and other stun are
placed In box out on the sidewalk, and
he says the box is not out on the side
walk tve minutes before every shoe Ia
gone, taken by the poor who can not af-
ford to buy new shoes.
