Firein addison.

The home of Giles Hern in Add;-
son tip, was entirely destroyed by
fire at about midnight Tuesday
night with contents and Mr.. Hern
was pretty badly burned himself.
1t is thought there was no insur-
anoe. The house is supposed to
have caught from ashes which had
been thrown out by the woman
folks the evening before. The
house was one story frame struct-
ure and fairly furnished. Mr.. Hern
received his injuries from trying
to extinguish the fire. Besides
the other contents of the house he
lost $40 in cash. Many friends
will sympathize with Mr.. Hern
who has had a good deal of other
misfortune. He only has small
farm.-Gallipolis Tribune.

Good fortune will smile on you
after you begin to advertise in the
right way. The right way is adj
vertising persistently, systematical-
lY and literally in the best news
papers in the city. The spasmodic
advertiser seldom receives the ben
eft from his advertising that his
store and his goods really warrant.
You can't make fortune out of
advertising in a day, or in week,
but if you will keep it up you will
realize satisfactory profit in the
long run. Sometimes the returns
may seem slow in coming, like the
rain in time of drouth, but they
are sure to reach you eventually,
The sooner you start, the sooner
the profits will begin to come.

Millinery Opening.

Millinery Opening.
Yesterday, March 25th, was
Opening Day at Mrs. Williamson's
Millinery Establishment, and the
store was thronged all day and I'M
til late in the evening with ladies,
who we're out to purchase their
new Easter hate and bonnets.
The store was handsomely dec
GRATED with flowers and palms and
the attendants were all dressed in
their prettiest costumes.
The arrangement of the hats and
bonnets, flowers, plumes, feathers,
ribbons, and all that goes to make
up millinery display, was in the
best of taste and most attractive
form, and pleasing for the eye to
gaze upon. A reporter of the beg
lister went over to view and inspect
the pretty women fixings," but
soon got bewildered and retired, to
give room to the ladies who were
providing in "thick and fast"
Miss Minnie Price, the head
trimmer, can we'll be prond of the
great art she has displayed in trim
ming up the hats and bonnets, and
many handsome compliments were
paid her yesterday by the ladies,
and gentlemen too. She is classed
among the finest trimmers in the
United States, and being a Point
Pleasant young lady, her ideas in
artistic work, is entitled to and de-
serving of all the praise that can
be bestowed upon her.
We must say in concluding this
article. that no such display of fine
millinery was ever before seen in
this place. All the styles are of
the latest shown in Paris and New
York City.
