New Location.

The Sullivan Bros, who have foi
some time past successfully conducted
a gents furnishing store at Hickman,
are opening q second store in this city.
They come to Union City with all the
experience necessary for the building
up of a large and successful business,
and their store, which is located in the
old Toggery quarters, will be stocked
with all that is good and seasonable for
men and young men.
Messrs. Hub and Cliff Sullivan will
have charge of the new store, while the
other two brothers will continue with
their business at Hickman. The Sulli-
van brothers are thorough business men,
They have grown up, one might say, in
the business in which they are now en-
gagged And from their earliest ex-
perience they have made a close study
of the large and small details of the
business.
This new Union City store will be
in direct touch with the big Eastern
markets at all seasons, and their stock
will be so complete that they can be
outfitters, not to a few men, but to all
men, carrying, as they will, such a
variety of styles and fabrics that any
person, with either fat or lean purse,
may get what he is looking for.
While Union City has other QUILTING
stores, there is always ample room for
one more, provided it is good one,
and the Sullivans bring with them to
your city the reputation of operating
none but first-class and successful stores.
You should drop by to see them
They are easy to get acquainted with,
and will very much appreciate your
calls. advt.

Resolutions of Sympathy.

Once more we have been called to bow
in meek submission to Gods most holy
will in the loss of our dear friend, Judge
Lawson.
We realized that he had lived his
three score years and ten and we felt
sure that his hopes for the future
were bright, but even then we were
grieved to give him up. We knew what
true friend he was, what happy ma
ture he possessed, and how we were
made to feel better by his encouraging
words, his bright, helpful thoughts and
his fatherly advice in so many ways.
The hearty hand grasp and the sweet
smile was tonic to our hungry souls.
We loved him and his memory will live
in our hearts forever.
Resolved, That we as a missionary
society, and as individuals, do all we
can to brighten Miss Mary's lonely life
and make her feel that even though her
best friend on earth has gone that we
are her friends and want to aid her in
any way we can.
Resolved, That we extend to her our
heartfelt sympathy in this great sorrow
and pray that she may live to brighten
and bless the world as her father has

of block and tackle and had Just
landed them at the top Of
the building. The men up there
had united them and were drawing
them into the building when the
doors slid and fell. The men above
shouted a warning, but before the
men working in the street below
could get out OF the. way the three
heavy doors crashed upon the pave

several minutes he soon recovered

on his head was dressed. His con-
dItion is not as serious as It was
