Hats. also Family Groceries Mr.. Wolff
does not say he wants to sell lat cost" like
the balance of the merchants, but says he
viii sell as cheap as anybody. No bumbug

that he has settled here aud bought proper
ty is the best evidence of this, and that he

fore feels warranted in asking his neighbors
to give him a trial. for until he becomes
better acquainted he cannot expect much of

rend chiefly on the local trade. If lie Sc

Miss Gotten was daughter of the late

The great daily papers are sometimes
more distinguished for enterprise than &C.
curacy. The New York World for in
stance, was prompt in reporting the burn
ing of Coronal Institute, but its account is
in some points amusingly inaccurate. We
quote paragraph:
San Marcos is small town, poorly
equipped for fires, and very few people had
gathered around the burning building. but
those few encouraged the girls to leap from
the windows to the top of a gallery fifteen
feet below. They were 10th to do 80 and
stood huddled about the windows appealing
for aid until the cracking flames warned
them that the third floor was being devour-
ed and would soon fall in. Mrs. D. s.
Combs, one of the teachers, finally let her
self out of window, and, dropping, landed
safely on the roof of the gallery and was
greeted with cheers by the crowd below,
which had greatly increased. Her success
encouraged the girls and they made the
leap. and from the gallery reached the
ground on n ladder.
The sensational report of an alleged alb
duction case at this place, by the Houston
Post. may serve as another illustration of
journalistic inaccuracy.
