The Woman's store has an
attractive Ad, in this issue of
The Commercial Mr., Leigh is
advertising a big white sale to
run ten days. We learn that there
has been big advances in all
lines of dry goods sin oe last year
and desirable goods are very
scarce, the demand being much
greater than the capacity of the
mills can supply. White goods es-
pecially are in the whole salers
hands and it is impossible to
procure some cloths at any price.
The proprietor of the Woman's
Store evidently knew when and
where to buy which fact explains
why they can offer such splendid
values in the face of an adyanc-
ing Market. The prices quoted
are undoubtedly low and we ad-
wise our readers to visit the store
this week and take advantage OF
the money saving opportunity.

VAULT IS UNEARTHED
BY EyCAvATORS
Under Old Columbus Insurance and
Banking Companys Building
Is Found Mysterious Vault

The employees of Mr.. ID. 8
McClanahan, the contractor for
the new building being erected
by the Columbus Insurance and
Banking Company were mystl-
fled If not mortified Tuesday
when, in excavating, they struck
a brick vault about four by sew
en- feet with a slide entrance,
wide enough only for the body
of an ordinary man TO get into
but deep enough to store several.
In this vault were found a
number of bones which had the
appearance of being those OF a
human being but which We're
pronounced "by an expert as
not being such. Be this as it
may the vault was in the rear
of the building which was erect
ed i'm 1852. It was cemented in
the bottom, on the sides and top
and bore every evidence of be-
ing the hiding place" Of some
one who had been foully dealt
with.
1t is the general belief, how
ever, that the vault was put in
about the time the war between
the States broke out, by the
officials of the bank for the pur-
pose of storing the banks funds
i'm case of a raid by the Federal
troops. If this theory is believed
however, there comes in the
mystery-why and how did the
bones get in?
God, alone, knows.

Personal Journalism.

Personal journalism is practi-
cally at an end in this country.
Only the ignorant or the mental
ly depraved, the black guard or
the imbecile that has broken into
the profession now disgraces the
newspaper he controls by per-
sonal reference to an editor with
whom he may disagree. Men
who are men do not fight person
al battles with the pen. for it is
both cowardly and contemplate
and a dishonor to journalism.
Ability to write scurilous arti-
Gle may commend an editor in
the eyes of a man who runs q
newspaper wholly for black
guarding and blackmainling pur-
poses, for the advancement oil
some scoundrel enterprise or to
aid the cause of a eonscienc celess
political trickster, Eut to those
who have a decent regard for
the ethics of the profession such
an editor and such methods have
long since been cast aside with
all other immoral and unclean
things that years ago hampered
the progress of the press.--Hous-
ton (Tex. } Chronicle.
