Bought schuster Building.

The Board of Revenue of Dallas County has closed a contract with the agent for the purchase of the old Schuster Board- ing House. adjoining the new court house. The price stipulated to be paid for the building and lot is $500. This is good deal more than the corner lot on which the court house stands cost, but real es- tate in Selma has taken an upward course since the site was purchased. The property purchased belonged to MT. Jones. who lived in Texas. He died about a year ago and there are said to be two minor children interested in the property. and it n ay require some legal proceed ings in order for the county to get good title to the property.
 The lot fronts 80 or 90 feet on Lauder dale Street. The court house is so close to 1t that, the light is shut out. and as soon as the county gets it's titles perfect ed, 1t will tear down the old three-story brick boarding house. so that the light and air can come in from the north side. Just as soon ss the county can stand the expense 1t should purchase the old Bap- tist Church property just back of the court house, and then it would have land enough to spread out, when the time arr rives for enlarging the present court house.

NEW WHITE HOUSE CHINA.
Design for Service Selected by
Mrs. Roosevelt.

A new china service will soon be in
stalled in the White House, says an
Albany, N. Y, special to the New
York Tribune, to take the place of the
one secured by direction of Mrs. Ruth
erford B. Hayes, in June. 1880. The
manufacture of the present one is due
to the belief of Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt that new china service is need
ed.
Mrs. Roosevelt. about six months
ago, sent word to Charles NJ. Van Heu-
sen of the Van Heusen-Charles Com
pany. of this city, that she would like
to commission him to procure a new
china service for the White House. Mr.
Van HeuScn visited Washington, had a
talk with Mrs. Roosevelt on the sub
Ject concerning which she had writ
ten him and received a commission to
visit noted china factories or CORE
spond with their proprietors. for the
purpose of securing samples OF china,
with their prices, for Mrs. Roosevelts
inspection. Mrs. Roosevelt said the
china ought to be marked with some
national emblem and. the face of the
Great Seal of the United States was
chosen.
Mr.. Van Heusen entered into CORE
spondence with the Wedgwood com
pany the Cauldon company, the Royal
Worcester company, the Minton COM
pany and the Doulton company. all
manufacturers of china in England, in
relation to the making of the china
desired, and these firms. through Mr..
Van Heusen, recently submitted to
Mrs. Roosevelt seventy-eight designs
for the service. For several months the
designing of these samples was the
thought of some of the leading china
decorators in England. The sample
plates are beautifully decorated. the
colors including deep red, blue, yellow
and shades of green, with gold decor
alton slightly or profusely applied. Mr..
Van Heusen estimates that the sam
Piles cost the firms that made them ST.
900. w.
Some of the designs were for very
costly plates. These were not select
ed by Mrs. Roosevelt, although the de-
signs were of great beauty. For the
number of pieces desired, one of these
designs, If accepted, would have in
volved an expenditure of $4,000. Mrs.
Roosevelt selected much simpler pat
tern; one that certainly will be far less
costly when carried out The plate Sc
lected by her has a simple Colonial
pattern in gold, with the diverse or face
OF the great seal of the United States
enamelled in color as the decorative
feature. 1t was made by Wedgewood
ana covers the requirements possibly
better than any of the others. In the
new china service thus selected there
will be 1926 pieces, divided as follows:
Fifteen dozen dinner plates, ten dozen
breakfast plates, ten dozen tea plates,

FELL FROM THE CAR.
Lady Stumbled when Boarding a
Car at ThunderbOIt.

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned at the Casino yesterday after
noon about $50 o'clock by what was
thought to have been a serious acct
dent.
The balloon ascension was over, and
the great crowds rushed to get the
cars for the city. There was the usual
jam. each one striving to get aboard
ahead of his neighbor. and climbing on
the car from either side. While the
crowd was at it's greatest press Mrs.
ID. II. Willard stumbled and fell. She
was soon picked up. but promptly
tainted, and the rumor got out that
she had been seriously hurt.
She was taken to the Casino and
restored to consciousness. but it was
some time before her fright passed
away. Supt. Duffy of the Savannah
Electric Company offered a special car,
but Mr.. Willard, who was present. de-
clined the offer, as he h;a1 already or
dered a cab, in which Mrs. Willard
was removed to her home, No. II

attended by DR.. ST. ]. B. Graham,
and found to be somewhat bruised and
suffering from a sprain of the back.

Mrs. John T. BIaIock, vaIdosta.

Valdosta, Ca, Sept. 28.-News was
received this morning of the death of
Mrs John T. Blalock, of this city, the
sad event occurring at White Springs,
Fla where she was on a visit to her
parents. She had been i'll for a month
or more, and for the past three weeks
her condition has been almost hopeless.
The best medical skill of this city
and section were summoned to her side
and everything that could be done was
done to stay the disease which affilct-
ed her. For a week or more her death
has been probable at any moment,
though all hope was not abandoned
until last night. She was first taken
with nervous prostration, brought on
by the desperate illness of her little
boy. Other complications followed
and the battle between life and death
has been waged for several weeks.
Mrs. Blalock was young woman, not
more than 80 years of age, and was
beloved by all who knew her. She was
formerly Miss Nellie Robarts of White
Springs, and was married to Mr.. John
Blalock about eight years ago, the
union being blessed. by the birth of a
little boy, now years of age, who,
with a devoted, but broken-hearted
husband, survives her. Her death is
one OF the saddest that has been an
nounced here in a long time, and the
feeling of sorrow pervades every home.
