Over the shipping room, commanding view
of the main floor, is a mezzanlne story hanu-

tiled fire place, ornamental balustrade ana

The three floors above this are given up to

had from the fact that in the three buildings

an acre. The counter surface alone aggregates
more than $500 square feet
Every precaution has been taken TO guard
against fire, not only by locating the boilers
away from the building and encasing pipes
with asbestos, but also by the putting OF tire
escape in the rear. On the roof is constructed
an elevated balcony which commands an ex-
tended view of the city and country surround
ing. and which is well worth a visit.

pamphlets and catalogues are scattered sys-
tematically throughout the South, by the thou
most trivial wants of their customers.

Surely the Sentinel has seen Mr.. Wilson's
denial that he ever uttered such sentiment.
Campbell the Pittsburg glassblower, who
says he said so, sticks to it, but he must
have misunderstood our distinguished fell
low-citizen. We didn't suppose there was
a man in this county, much less the genial
editor of the Sentinel, that could reiterate
such a charge after the public denial Of Mr..
Wilson. When w. L. Wilson says he
didn't say thing that ought to be the end
of it, His word has never been questioned
by any one acquainted with him.

HOlC Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach
adopted by an enemy we are the better en-
abled to ward off the danger and postpone
the moment when surrender becomes inev-
liable. In many instances the inherent
strength of the body sufices to enable it to
oppose the tendency toward death. Many
however have lost these forces to such an
extent that there is little or no help. In
other cases little aid to the weakened
Lungs will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful life

or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs, give
