and child, brother and sister, and host
of loving friends to mourn her loss.

the majority of the worst cases are i'm
proving.
Miss Eva Mccain left on the steamer
Valley Queen to attend session of the
Whitworth Conservatory of music and art.
The Montgomery school under the
management Of Prof. Majors lie improving
SO rapidly that it now requires aoonstant

Lebanon, to fiji the position, while Miss
Woolworth, of Carthage, Texas, is to take
charge Of the music and art department.
Christmas is over and Montgomery can
boast OF not a single drunk man on her

prohibition does not amount to anything
when the law is observed?

Salvation Army Rem a Saloon Buildin,
on South Main Street.

Salvation Army Rents a Saloon Building
on South Main Street.
Quite a stir was the result of a load OF
wooden benches being unloaded III front OF
the empty saloon next to Ig. Miller's, on
South Main street, Saturday afternoon.
Upon closer examination it proved that the
Salvation army had stolen a march on the
First ward and leased the saloon for a
meeting room. Having the key the army
unloaded their benches and proceeded to
occupy the place before the former proprie-
tor could remove his property. When the
proprietor discovered the Salvationists the
air was slightly %distigured and it's hue
changed, and more especially did things
move when the owner of the more valuable
of the fixtures made his appearance. With
the lease, key and the first months rent
paid the Salvationists proceeded to arrange
their hall for operations, while the bar and
its accessories still remained in shape to
do business" Their first meeting was
held Saturday night, and the place was
crowded to OVERLOOKING. The captain with
the assistance of her lieutenant says the
army is bound to hold on and Christianize
the upper end of Main street.

important matters that he intends to push
this winter is a right Of way bill for a rail-
