last SaDDath morning, and the remains
were buried in Evergreen cemetery on
Monday. Mrs. White was q daughter
of the late r. T. higgins, Of Blairsville,
York county,. In our last issue we
stated that the body Of the man that
was killed by falling from the stand
pipe had been exhumed for more per-
feet Identification. His mother tele-
graphed that she would start from ST..
Louis for Chester Tuesday night. 1t
was so arranged, however, that his
brother came instead of his mother.
He was delayed a whole day by the
railroads sending him a roundabout
way, so that he did not arrive until
last night. 1t was considered best to
bury the body here, which was done at
10 o'clock this morning. The mans
name was Robert Rothe, but he had as
sumed the name of his step-father,
Bridges. Mr.. Fred Rothe, his brother,
says he had had number of dangerous
falls before. Not long ago he fell from
a smokestack in Ohio, some rs feet, go
ing entirely through roof and landing
on a boiler. He had an arm broken at
that time.

UNION-Times, January IL: We Won
der why it is that some Of our country
friends will buy steel ranges from
country peddlers and pay them $50 to
$40, when they can buy as many as
they want in Union for half that price.
Our citizens who were compelled to
go home after dark this week were in a
bad row of stumps if they had not sup
piled themselves with a torch or Ian
tern. 1t was the dark of the moon as it
happened. Of course the stars shone
bright; but are too far away to furnish
but they are too far away to furnish
much light, and it was a dark road to
travel verify. This state Of affairs was
brought about by an unfortunate
of the arc light machine,
and the streets were in darkness until
the machinery could be repaired. Like
all other good things we did not know
now to appreciate the lights until de-
prived of them. The electric lights are
a great thing for the town.. Some
seven months ago Mr.. M. w. Bobo, Of
Sedalia, moved to Union and opened up
a general mercantile business in the
two store rooms formerly occupied by
]. @. Wray and Murphy & Wallace.
These storerooms were not considered
especially desirable business stands, but
Mr.. Bobo is a business man and he
began in a business-like manner. One
Of the first things he did was to con-
tract for good, healthy advertising
space in the newspapers. In this space
he announced that he had come here
to do business, and that he proposed to
show the readers that he feared no
There was no stinginess
displayed by Mr.. Bobo in a desire to
secure a measly little condensed space,
because it could be gotten for few
dollars less. He had decided to adver-
tise his business for the purpose Of
drawing trade to his place, and he rec
ognized the important fact that to do
this successfully he must recognize the
Of his business as one of
the departments Of the business, and
as he did not intend to do a one-horse
business, he did not propose to do one
horse advertising. 1t was strictly a
matter of business with him. He ad-
vertised for the good he could get out
Of the business, and his phenomenal
success shows that he was level head
ed. Now as to the result: He opened
up with two clerks. The advertisement
began to talk to the people, the people
began to go and Investigate. They
met with courteous treatment and
found things as represented, they came
back, they told their friends, and soon
another clerk had to be added to the
force to wait upon the increasing list
Of customers; then another clerk, and
another and still another, until now it
requires the employment Of II clerks to
attend to the trade, and goods are ar
irving by the carload. The latest arriv-
al is four carloads of -four two carloads
Of molasses, one car of corn ami other
things in proportion.
