OFFICIAL NOTICE.

Numerous complaints have been
made about the merchants of this
city keeping their places OF busi-
ness open on Sunday. This is q
positive violation of the ordinance
of the city and also of the stautes.
1t is not the desire TO prosecute
anyone for an offense of this kind,
but it does seem that the merchants
OF the city should have more re-
spect for the laws than to be gull
~ of an open violation ofthe same,
and especially on Sunday. And
should such violations continue,
tie guilty parties will be promptly
prosecuted. Alger Melton,
City Attorney.

A GOOD COM EDY.

Plays of the mirth-provokingk kind are
always attractive when they are built
upon lines intended to incite merri-
ment by cleverly arranged scenes and
bright witty dialogue. Peaceful VAL
ley, in which Alden Bass and his COM
pany will be seen at the Grand Opera
House tonight, not only has these
qualities but it tells a well-sustained
dramatic story, and has about it the
delicate perfume of love interest.
1t is a play of the better order of
comedy dramas, and has been finan-
cial and artistic success during the
past half dozen years or more. This
season Alden Bass has given it an
elaborate staging, and is adding to his
success as a star, and incidentally to
his bank account with it Mr. Bass is
still young in years, but having been a
hard student of the natural order of
acting, has made for himself a warm
place in the good graces of those who
appreciate cleverly drawn character
acting such as Mr. Bass gives of the
part of Hosea Howe in Peaceful Val
ley" This promises to be one of the
events of our local amusement season,
and those who would not be found
among the standees when it is presented
here, would be wise to secure seats as
early as possible as indications points
to a capacity house to greet Mr.. Bass
and his associated players. Prices %,

JOHN WIlLEMS.

MIR. Mrs John Willems were called
upon Tuesday to mourn the death OF
their oldest son, John. About two
years ago John left this city and worked
at his trade, that of barber, at different
points in the country. Although he
had never been robust young man
his friends noted marked change in
his condition upon his return home
last fall The sunken eye and hollow
cheek told too plainly that the germ
of tuberculosis was eating away his
lungs and that it was but question of
few months when his life would end.
two weeks ago, when he was forced to
go to bed, and then sunkrapidly, pass
ing away about II 80 Tuesday evening
Deceased was born in this city May
9th, 1878, and had always lived here,
with the exception of the absence from
the city mentioned above. He was q
popular young man, and had many
friends who visited hm in his last days
of sickness, and who now mourn his
death Besides the parents deceased
is survived by two brothers, Joseph
and Frank, sister, Mary, dying of con-
sumption some years ago.
The funeral was held Saturday morn
ing from ST. Mary's church, the cere-
monies being preceded by brief SER
vices at the family home on Forest
street. The funeral was largely at

had ne more timber on the timber lands
on the line of the road and therefore
no use for it, and would have to keep
1t up at an expense or abandon it as
soon as they finished up the little timber
now being cut out; that if the lease or
sale was made to Knox it would imme-
dlately be extended into his timber
lands which lie on both sides of the
Neches river, embracing some 10000
acres, and the state could arrange for
timber from Knox, as he proposes to
give the state all the timber he does
not use in case of a lease; that the
financial agent, w. M. G. Hull, Supt.
-. 5. Rice and two others of the board,
Messrs. Peyton and Fry, were in favor
,of making the trade at once but that
the chairman, Hon. VIM Clemens, and
the governor desired more time to con-
slider the matter and that he is salts
fled they will decide, upon their inves-
legations, that is is good business prop
osition for the state and will accept one
or the other of the propositions. If Mr.
Knox puts in his own road and cuts
out this timber there would be moth
ing left to make the state road worth
anything to any one. We hope that
some such arrangements will be made,
unless the state is prepared to push the
road on to Palestine, which we do not
think will be done. If Knox gets it he
will have to extend it into Anderson
county and that would take the road
near Palestine.

OPERATING IN TEXAS.
William Knox and Son. Hiram, Once Heavy Lumbernen on
the Wisconsin River, With Headquarters in Wausau
Now Large Land Owners in Texas.

The following is taken from the Rusk
(Texas) weekly journal, and tells of the
extensive operations of Mr.. H. Knox in
the land and lumber business. Mr.
Knox, in an early day, commenced lum-
bering in Portage county: about thirty
years ago he came to Wausau and after
saving out his lumber adjacent to this
city, he went further north, built an
other large sawmill and cleaned up
another large tract of timber. His son
has also grown up into the lumber busi-
ness and together they are now the
largest individual land owners in Texas.
Austin, Tex, Feb. 12-W II. Knox
and IL. Knox, of Dallas, the largest in
dividual timbered land owners in
Texas, were today, accompanied by
their attorney, Judge Frank b. Quinn
of Rusk, and submitted two propositions
to the Penitentiary Board, one to pur-
chase and the other to lease the rail
road belonging to the penitentiaries,
running from Rusk to the Neches rivers.
The Knoxs own some 10000 acres
along the Neches river and want to
haul the saw timber. The board did
not act on either proposal.-Dallas
News
Judge Quinn, when asked about the
ab,ve, said that it was true that Mr..
knox had made a proposition to the
pen tentiary board to lease or purchase
the state railroad, and that he believed
the board would accept one or the
other, as it would be a decided advan-
tage to the state to do so, that the state

GREATLY IMPROVED.

The recent changes that Athens
store has undergone makes that store
now one of the handsomest in the city,
and Albert informs us that he is not
yet through. Elevated about ten feet
from the floor platform over sixty
feet long has been built, partly Suspend
ed from the ceiling. On the outside of
this showcase fifty-four feet in length
has been placed, in which is displayed
ladies' ready made wearing apparel
On the wall, back of this case, is hung
a large assortment of cloaks, etc, and
between these and the show case is left
passageway for clerks and customers.
At the west end of this platform Albert
has placed a desk at which he can do
his Office work and have view of Third
street from the large show windows.
As soon as the weather viii permit the
front of the store will be torn out and a
large single door put in, on either side
of which win be large plate glass win
dows. The store viii also be so re-
modelled that there will be an entrance
on Jackson street. When the new show
cases and counters. which Mr.. Althen
has ordered, arrive and are installed,
he will have one of the finest stores in
this section.

the victims of the wreck on the North

notified Immediately and also went 10
the scene. Mrs. Mayo returned later to

POPULAR PULPIT 0RAT DRY.

The following is taken from the
Athens Record and relates to a young
man reared in Wausau
Rev. Otto Ringle preached at the
Lenten services in St. Stephens church
last evening. Ii being generally known
Beforehand that Rev. Ringle was to
occupy the pulpit, the feature OF the
services was the means of attracting
one OF the largest attendances in the
history of the church. Every seat WAS
filed in the gallery as well as on the
main floor, and chairs had to be put in
To service 20 accommodate share of
those who were standing From the
close attention he received, il was evi-
dent that Rev. Ringle's discourse Of the
gospel was highly appreciated. After
the services Rev. Werhahn rendered to
Rev. Ringle an invitation to deliver
another sermon in st. Stephens church
which he viii probably accept"
