asked.
The old man bowed his head.
The general tossed him a piece OF

MOVING.

ONE by one the business firms of Williams are moving into the mag nificent new business buildings erected since the fire Poison Bros. moved into their new quar- ters this week and are now doing business at the old stand, as the beautiful new brick adorns the lot where the old store stood. The floor space of this store room is very large and this enterprising firm is stocking it to its utmost capacity and will thus be able to accommodate all
 L. Schey, the popular haber- dasher, also pulled stakes at his temporary stand and moved into the Walsh building on Williams avenue where he has an elegant room and is well located in the business center.
 Seeing the procession moving, and not desiring to be at the tail end, the NEWS caught the contagion and on Monday commenced nov ing to the new Pollock building on Williams avenue and Third street, where we are located in the north room on Third street. We finished moving Tuesday evening, tired and cranky, and with the determination that moving is not what it looks to be. But it is all over now and we are settled, and a call from our friends and patrons will find us ready for business in our new quarters.

WILLIAMS SCHOOL NOTES.

After a weeks lay-off Old Glory is again floating on the breeze.
 Two weeks more and Christmas time will be here - the mer- riest, jolliest, happiest time of all the year.
 We would welcome a piano tuner in the city for our organ in the school building is getting slightly out of tune.
 We are certainly gratified to note the increasing interest among our boys and girls in their school work, but we are not nearly satisfied.
 Miss Marine and Miss Mcintyre will close their work for the holi- days with very appropriate exer- cises. This literary work should receive the heartiest support of the patrons, for its influence upon the boys and girls in after life cannot be foretold.
 All connected with the school seemed to enjoy their two days vacation. Misses Marine and Me Intyre spent Thanksgiving with friends at Mcclellan, but on Friday they made up the Monday they had missed on account of their trip to the canyon.
 We felt very grateful, indeed, to those who kindly responded to our invitation to attend our literary program last Wednesday week. We hope that more will be present Dec. 20th; it gives encouragement not only to our boys and girls but to the teachers as we'll
