.igl1ef. Wages
 For. Everybody,

It is true that this country is grow. ing rich very rapidly. But it is also true that it is only getting rich in certain spots. A fertilizer is no uss if left in one spot; it must be scattered to produce good results. There are business concerns which are making money very fast and they are paying as small wages as other concerns whose competition is so great that they are making no money and can not afford to pay good wages.
 It seems to us that if concerns that are making good money would be more liberal in paying good wages the prosperity of the people would be more general. It is upon the peo- pie that are getting good wages that the prosperity of the merchants de- bends and this would be a good sub- iect for the Merchants Association all over the country to take up. If the philanthropists of this country would increase their pay rolls it would be the best religion they could practice. Big profits and small wages has brought hell on earth instead of Heaven. Everything points to a pros porous year. It is always good sign to see the Furniture business start with q strong demand for Parlor Suits This is what it has done and we have a magnificent line from $2O up. Our complete stock of House Furnishings should be seen by every economical purchaser and We have courteous and oDliging salesmen who will take delight in showing you. Our liberal terms will make the buying easy for you.

Three Buildings Erected on the Pan
 American Exposition Grounds.
 The Pa1-American Exposition has the cordial indorsement of the United States government, which for buildings and exhibits appropriated $5O0,0O0. The government has three handsome buildings. The main building is 13O feet wide and 600 feet long. The others are each 15O feet square. The architecture is free treatment of the Spanish Renaissance. the details sug- gesting a Mexican rather than q strictly Spanish origin. Like the other Ex- position buildings these are covered with staff and are lavish with color and gliding, which give the intricate plas- tie decorations and sculpture groups an ensemble both striking and interest ing. Red Spanish tiles on the roofs add to the beauty.

Tho recent test of the electric lights on the Machinery building of the Pan- American Exposition has shown that the great lighting scheme of the Expo sition will be literally a brilliant sue cess. Perhaps in the streets of the New Jerusalem there will be an illu- imitation exceeding that to be effected next summer on the grounds of Pan American Exposition, but it is a safe prediction that no one will see any thing finer than this before arriving within the gates of the heavenly city.

FINE ARTS AT BUFFALO.
Exhibit mt PAn-Amcricnn Will In.
 cIuIe the Best Works.

The Fine Arts as they have been cul tivated in the various countries of Pan America will be presented in an eXhiD- it pre-eminentiy American in spirit and character at the Fan-American Expo sition.
 There will be no attempt to cover ev- erything of an art character in the en- tire universe; but. as the Exposition as whole is to be devoted to the achieve ments of civilization in the New World, it will be the purpose of the Fine Arts exhibit to show the progress made in Pan-America in the culture of painting and sculpture and the allied arts. The Pan-American Exposition ought to mark a new era in the New World and doubtless will, since it will give work CTS in this important field of human activity a stimulus such as perhaps could be obtained in no other way and will direct the attention of the great public Of all the Americas in the most emphatic manner to the importance of giving substantial patronage to the ar lists and sculptors native to our own soil if it is desired that art should flourish in the western hemisphere. In making up the exhibit in Fine Arts for the Art Gallery the plan to be followed is to secure the most representative and excellent works that have appear ed within the last p years, particular ly within the last decade. As the open ing of the Pan-American will come at time when all of the important an- nual exhibitions of art will have been held, it will be possible to secure some of the best works produced within the F or l5 months preceding it.

For Mayor Of Columbus.

The young man whose name
will go on the official ballot as the
citizens candidate for mayor
Duke G. Bowers, has been in the
mercantile business in this city
since 1892, and by his strict atten-
tion to business he has been a
success. He is young and agrees
sive, yet methodical, and withal a
student as to the best means to
reach a certain end, and we feel
that his selection has been a wise
one. Mr.. Bowers is not a rain
bow chaser, and his business
methods, while they may have the
tinge of popularity about them,
have fully demonstrated that he
is equal to the duties he will be
called on to assume. He is by
nature a gentleman, honest and
charitable, and he fayors such inn
provements as the city demands
good streets and sidewalks. and
he goes before the people as a can
didate to be voted for at the
November election. Columbus

news travelled fast. however, when
Mrs. Arm received a message that
Mr.. Fred Black and Miss Agnes
Hill we're to pay her hurried call
Monday afternoon. It was news
to her, but when the couple pre-
scented themselves with DR.. Mahon,
there was no mistake as to what
was coming, and Mr.. Fred Black
and Miss Agnes Hill were soon
joined in the the bonds Of husband
and wife. Mr.. Black is local en-

Al Modern School Building.

DR.. IT. d. Edwards, who, for a
number of years has directed all
the energy aud ability he could COM
mand in the interest of the Public
High School Of this city, and to
whose efforts is due in a large meas
ure the construction of the present
magnificent school building, now
almost completed, certainly de-
serves much praise and credit at
the hands Of the school patrons and
citizens Of Union City. The Doctor
says that Mr.. Jones, proprietor of
system of heat and ventilation,
visited the building with him few
days ago, and, in reply to the ques-
ton as to what he thought of it,
stated frankly that there was not
better equipped public school in the
State and only one that would even
compare favorably with II in archi-
lecture and appointments. Mr..
Jones also added that while his sys-
tenn Of heating and ventilation was
not to be used, the one selected was
of modern patent. and would give
all the desired recults he could re-
commend Tor his own. The Fogg
High School in Nashville was the
one with which he compared the
the building here. The city owes
4 debt Of gratitude to the gentle
men who nave made it possible for
the boys and girls to enjoy the COM
forts Of an up-to-date building a::..
tile advantages Of a fine school.
