AN IMPORTANT CHANGE
T. P. Culley and Family Will Go to
Baltimore.

TIP. CuIley, manager of the w. w
KimbaI company, will leave Topeka to
take charge of the company's eastern
business with headquarters at Balti-
more Mr.. Culley has been in charge OF
the piano and organ sales of this com
pany for eight years and has created
the business from nothing to one of very
large proportions-the business for this
month exceeding any other December,
and for 1900 excelling all other years.
The company has been strong in the
west and central portions of the country
and has contemplated opening an cas-
ern Office. Months. ago Mr.. Culley was
offered the responsible position, but dis
liked to break his profitable business
and pleasant social relations in Topeka
and Kansas. 1T is like breaking heart
strings" says he, but I have decided
that 1 cannot afford to decline the pro-
position" He and his family will be
greatly missed in the. capital city.
The change is effective January 1. Mr..
Culley will leave in few days to ar
range for his change of base. but the
family will remain here for some weeks.
Mr. w. f. Roehr, well known in music
circles, will succeed Mr.. Culley as the
Topeka representative of the Kimball

..Now that the Seaboard Air Line
has completed its line between New
York and Tampa, it is said among
those who profess to know that they
will direct their attention OF the East
and West road Of Alabama, which
runs from Gainesville, Ga, TO Pell
CITY, Ala, almost into Birmingham.
It has been announced time and again
that the ScabOard had secured this
property and would use it in their
plans Of reaching Birmingham. 1t IS
known that the engineering corps are
hard at work on the Chattanooga and
Augusta, and have finished their
work up to Athens, Ga, and will no
doubt soon be in Chattanooga.
This will be the next step the Sea-
board will take, and then it is said
that the Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis will be absorbed by the i'm

thus giving them terminal in Kan

GENERAL WHEELER.

There are few persons who will not
appreciate the graceful compliment
paid that grizzly old warrior, General
Joseph Wheeler, in making him a
Brigadier-General in the regular
army, regardless Of his imperialistic
tendencies by which he doubtless in
huenced his commission.
When the time came for fighting,
he was first upon the field. When
the time came for action, he was first
in the front, and led the army OF the
United States to victory at Ell Caney,
where the list New York Regiment
Jagged, wrapped in their own fright,
and what grass could be found; and
when General Shafter, the CHIEF officer
in command, was too far in the rear
to know what was going on.
General Wheeler, it will be remem-
bered, fought to the last, and resisted
Skaters idea OF retiring. 1t was
chiefly through his influence and in
SEPARATION, as well as leadership, that
FL Caney fell.
He has won his spurs in fighting
for the United States, just as he won
them fighting for the Confederacy.
The Government has done well in
recognizing his ability.-Norfolk Pir-

The Man Who Gets the Business.

A somewhat poetical editor puts it
thusly: If YOU take your little
whistle and lay aside your horn,
there's not man will ever know
that such man was born. The man
who owns his acres is the man who
plows all day, and he who keeps
planting is the man who makes it pay.
The man who advertises with a short
and sudden jerk, is the man who
blames the printer because it didn't
work. The man who gets the bust
ness uses brainy printers ink. not
cutter and splutter, but an ad that
makes you think, and he who plans
his advertisement as he plans his
well bought stock, has the future to
his business just as solid as rock"

Of likcncSscs of officers and men taken

written and the collection undertaken
at the request Of Judge Walter Clark,
Of the supreme court Of North Caro-

cit sketches Of all the regiments fur
nishcd by North Carolina to the Con-
fcdcracy and have them published at

"North Carolina is Justly proud of
her brave sons who were First at

ring the war she had her own block
ade runner the steamer "Advance'
to bring in supplies for them while
they were battling for the rights of
the whole South. She also had her
"Rolls of Honor" records Of those
brave sons-which where verified

these rolls published in four bound

Every man who embarks in bust

them to the porch at the rear of the

view is obtainable of the Washing gton
Monument and the Potomac River.
Finally President Kruger's name
was mentioned, and the visitors
then explained their purpose in csm-

understood that what Secretary Hay
told them yesterday was final, and
that the position OF the United Sta
tes was that this country could not
interfere in the present struggle in
South Africa.

He said that when, at the request Of
the government of the Transvaal,
he offered his good Offices some time

he did so with great pleasure, in the
hope that it might possibly end the
conflict. That offer had been declin.
ed by Great Britain, and tie United
States could do nothing further in
the premises.

were glad to feel they had friends in
