A MOVE FOR SPACE.
OF FEMALES

For some time past renovations have been
carried on in the building on the corner of
Military plaza, Nos. 4, Q, and 10, and Nos. 10
and Is, Trevino Avenue, formerly occupied by
Mr.. Z. Abrahams. Mr.. Jacob Dulluig is now
the occupant. Mr.. Dullnig is veteran In the
grocery business, having for long time done
business in the two-story house on the north
east corner of Military plaza Mr.. Dullnig,
owing to fair and liberal dealings with his GUS
toners, has been forced by a constant pres
sure Of space, to enlarge his stock and seek
for a more roomy house. When a LIGHT rep
resentative called at the new quarters he
found MIR. Dullnig and his assistants busily
employed in waiting upon customers. The
renovation has been made so complete that 1t
is quite surprise to see and admire the ar
rangements of the new store.
Mr.. Dullng invites all his old friends and
patrons in the city and country, as well as the
public generally, TO call on him and become
convinced that his prices will compare favor
ably with any in the city.
In addition to a fine and well selected stock
of general staples, he will constantly keep on
hand full and complete assortment of fancy
goods Of all kinds, while his connection with
the surrounding country people and farmers
generally, will enable him to keep full and
complete supply Of country produce at all
times. The LIGHT bespeaks for Mr.. Dullnig
success in his new and enlarged establish
ment.

Very Sensible "JapS."

In Japan the old-school physicians are per-
mitted TO wear only wooden swords. This is
gently sarcastic way OF expressingt the opinion
that they kill enough people without using
weapons. But the druggist who introduced
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery into
the empire. carries fine steel blade. II was
found that all who tried this wonderful
remedy for coughs, colds, consumptive ten
denotes, blood, skin and liver troubles, were,
without exception, greatly benefited. The
mikado himself is said to have toned up
his system by its use, and the importer was
therefore permitted the exceptional honor of
wearing the sword of the nobility.
