"A clear profit OF % cents per i.oO).
There IL now but one way in when
the city could reduce the price of gas
with the existing labor account ex-
planned the Superintendent. THE storage
capacity of the works Is only GOODS cubic
feet. and during the present winter the
consumption has reach'r as high as
10000 cubic feet during twenty-four
hours. For about nine months OF the year
gas can be manufactured at greatly
reduced rate over the three winter
months. In the winter the gas manu-
featured IS two-thlrds water and one
third coal. In the summer months the
coal IS OF much smaller proportion. \
greater storage capacity would be a
great saving"

A BRAVE coy.

On Saturday afternoon last little
Warren Jones, son CT Rav. ]. G. Jones
OF the NJ. +. Church South, of Upper
vile, aud grandson Of Mr.. Douglas
Gibson, of this comfy, tell into wei
in his graudfalher's yard. The we'll Is
thirty-nine feet to the water, which Is
ten feet deep, aud has in it an old
fashioned wooden pump. Warren is
five wears old and weighs thirty-five
pounds, and he proved himself in this
escauade t" be the coolest ami nerviest
;itlie fellow OF whom we have ever
i.eard or read No one saw him fail
in. hut Warren says he went down
he4,: frs. and that when he came Up
cut OF the water be caught mold OF =,
rail, that had been put across the wei
Just above the water 10 brace ice
pump, and held on until help came.
His grandmother soon came OUT
to look for him, and when she
saw the looseped plank at the
puap became Immediately alarm
ID and called two colored men
who were at work at the barn.
They could not see to the bottom OF
the we'll, but when they called out
Warren" the answer came up, Il am
down here" One of the men attempt
ed to get down into the we'll but after
he bad gone down four or FIVE feet,
gave up the attempt; they then got
ropes long enough to reach him. War
rem says he tried to get his foot through
the loop in the rope but my feet were
so heavy could not get them out of
the water SO he grasped the rope and
called out pull away, I've got her." He
held on until the men could reach him
with their arms, answering and talking
to them all the way up. He said to DIR.
K, ndall. who sewed up cut on his
head, Doctor, ! left my hat and over
shoes in the well, but do not think |
will 60 down after them this evening.
Warren, so far as we have heard, has
suffered no special inconvenience from
his fall, and who can say that he does
not deserve gold medal for his pluck?

WE THANK

our friends for their liberal patronage to us IN
1895 and at the same time desire to call
their attention TO our stock for 1885. We
have kept a better line Of goods the past
twelve months than we have ever had and
the ready sale of the fine wares We have had
assures lis that sll the people here require. Is
Y good stock and low prices to keep them
from buying in Washington. We buJ our
goods direct from manufacturers in the home
markets and abroad. We therefore get them
at the lowest prices and are confident We eau
sell as low as the largest houses in big cities
We do not offer you an inferior article at
low price to induce you to purchase some
thing else at an enormous profit, but en-
deavor at sll times to give you full dollars
worth of goods that our guarantee can go
along with. During this year We promise to
carry finer line of goods than ever before
and all we ask is visit and q comparison OF
prices before you buy. AT present We have q
number of articles that We have greatly re-
duced prices on to make room for SPRING
STOCK which will I've arriving in February,
and would respectfully request visit and in
spection of these goods. Again thanking you
for your patronage, VIC remain,
Very respectfully,
