Wall Caved In.

=. W. WinantS, young man en-
gagged in taking stone from the cellar
of the old Alliance store ruins, was
hurt by being caught under a falling
wall of stone and dirt last Thursday.
But for the timely appearance of a
wagon driver he would have lost his
life. He was injured somewhat, but
not seriously.
The Sbone in the cellar of the old
Alliance store ruins is being used in
the foundation of one of Col. Fultz's
remodel"d dwellings on North c

arrived on the scene just as the acci.

They came here by invitation Of the
men who are interested in the new
mill. The proposed site is
on West Harvey avenue, to occupy all
the territory between Harvey avenue
and Seventh street lying between the
Rock Island tracks and the old Santa

with the Rock Island officials, and
proposition was made by the road for
side tracks, freight tariffs, etc. The
projectors OF the mill have the matter
under consideration for future action.
1t is understood that arrangements
so far for the erection and operation
of the mill are very satisfactory. The

enlargement to the enterprise.

As TO Advertising.

In these days when one man can
buy goods about as cheap as another,
there must be a way by which one
merchant grows TO enormous success
another grows out of business. While
combinations of capital 10 big cities
undoubtedly frequently squeeze small
er merchants out, in the smaller
cities of the country no such a claim
can be made.
Advertising has been a debated
question ever since there were news
papers. That firm which is known
by the greatest number of people, all
other things being equal, there is 20
doubt. This is true definitely apd in

the most sanguine friends OF the
school.
The opening of the school Monday
morning was marked for the bGuyaucy
OF spirit manifest among the scholars
and the faculty. The pupils who have
just closed the first term feel that the
knowledge they have gained is Of in
e'timable benefit TO them, and they
are craving for more knowledge. The
teachers take great deal OF pride in
the interest displayed by the scholars
and are spurred on to greater efforts
to assist them 10 their work. The
scholars and teachers are working TO-
gether in perfect harmony, the former
with one central idea to attain the
greatest perfection in learning in the
quickest possible time, and the latter
with the idea to give them the great
est possible assistance and encourage
ment and at the same time to perfect
themselves 10 the work of their chosen
profession. Such a combination can
mean nothing but success, and the
Sumner County High school owes its
success almost entirely to these con.
ditiOns.
