Gil to buy 1t as cheaply as possible.
Mr.. Thompson has trust to fulfil.
The stock holders of the gas company
have elected him president OF the
company and he would be recreant
and faithless IL he were to make a
poor bargain with the city. This
principle is reiterated because the
prejudice created by Mr.. Thompson's
methods Of securing the present city
lighting contract Is obstructing an
erstanding with the gas company
now.
The lighting committee Of the coun-
Gil has made proposition to the com.
pany which involves decrease Of the
cost of illuminating gas Of ten cents a
year until the price reaches the cost
of fuel gas. II the company accepts,
in four years the rate will have reach

has also been proposed that the COM

will bind next years council, but a

will not consist entirely Of new men.
1t has been frequently urged, in dis
cussing street car matters, that the
owners were non resident capitalists
who bought the stock as cold blOOded
investment and that the city should
in consequence, get as much from

injure their business, but 1t IL

months, in so hot time as Septem.
Der. The children can not study, and
the parents who are forced to return

further into the fall than formerly.
The real summer months are July,
August, and September with the eli.

yet September belongs to the autumn
denomination, and we expect cool

With the characteristic progress
siveness of Colmnbia merchants,
those who suffered in Sundays fire
are undaunted by their severe losses
aud few mouths time will see them
back in business again, better
equipped than ever and ready to
meet the full wants of their patrons.
Monday morning, before the bricks
had cooled or the embers had ceased
from smoking the work of clearing
away the debris was begun, and ar
rangements for the construction
of the buildings were commenced.
Messrs. Dobbins & Ewing rented
two vacant store houses in the Beth
ell block on Garden street, where
they moved what few things they
had saved from the fire and imme-
diately opened up for business. They
will receive goods there and serve
their patrons until they get located
in their permanent quarters. Their
large ware house back of the Ma
sonic Temple on Garden street, con-
tanning farming implements, wag-
Ons, ETC., was untouched by the
| flames, and what they have not in
stock they will order, so do not fail
to give them more than a liberal
share of your patronage this sea-
| son.
The Maury National Bank moved
to the insurance office of Frierson &
Tucker, across the street, where
they will conduct their business un-
til the necessary repairs are made
on their building, which will be
within thirty days time, if the
weather permits.

Notes.

Fireman Will Bullard was hurt in
Rains's drug store by piece of the
marble slab on the soda fount falling
upon his foot and painfully mash
ing his toes.
Fireman Evan Helm fell through
the elevator shaft into Dobbin's 6
Ewing's cellar, and for awhile his
life was in extreme danger. When
rescued by his comrades he was al.
most suffocated from smoke, but sus.
tanned no serious injuries.
Thanks are due Mai. Greer and
the Arsenal fire company for the
valuable assistance they rendered
the city. This is the second time
Maj. Greer has sent his reel and mer
to assist the city company, and they
did good work in both instances. Co.
lumbia appreciates these prompt
responses in their hour of need, anC
if the opportunity ever occurs will bt
quick to return the favor.

PAPERS FROM MANILA.

Freedom and "The American''-Two o
Journals Published by Americans.
The HERALD is indebted to Mr..
Erie Taylor, of the First Tennessee
regiment now located at Manila, for
copies of two American newspapers
published in that far-awav city.
One of the papers-"The Ameri-
can"-is a daily, and bears date of
December Z, 1898. The paper is a
four column, six page sheet, and,
from an American standpoint, its
typographical appearance could
hardly be termed neat. However, ii
is gotten-up in great deal better
style than one would think for, with
the necessarily limited facilities at
hand in such an out-of-the-way
place. The paper contains notice OF
the arrival of the transports New
port and City of Puebla, carrying
the last companies Of the First Ten
nessee regiment.
Freedom" Is a six-column, eight
page paper, published every Wed
nesday and Saturday mornings
Both papers are filed with adver.
tisements, noticeable among which
are the announcements of the
whiskey, beer and tobacco dealers
One whole page is taken up in each
of the papers with an lad" oI

merchant uses three full columns in

mated deal whereby they have be-
come owners of the Whit horne
block, corner West Seventh and
Garden streets, and May they will
begin to tear down these antiquated
buildings. On this site-which, by
the-way, is one of the prettiest and
best located in tOwn-they will build
a magnificent three story, brick
structure, which they will occupy
themselves.
This property fronts 100 feet on
West Seventh street, and runs back
ll6 feet to the livery stable property
on Garden street. The building will
be fitted up with the most modern
appliances in the way of lights, fur
naces, elevators, ETC., and it will be
no less ornamental than useful to the
city. These gentlemen hope to have
their new stores ready for occupancy
by or before next October. The pur-
chase price of the property was $l5,-
600; one. third cash, balance one and
two years. The estimated cost of
the improvements will be about S2l-
600.
Mr.. Woodbridge gets the corner
property. He will have a 20 foot
frontage on West Seventh street,
and will fit-up an elegant place for
the drug store of Woodbridge " IT.

ter's store will be next and then will
