Mr.. Gales operated the Palace

ly since the fire that Mr.. Gales would
resume business here before spring.

building will begin almost immediate
ly and Mr.. Gales will leave for New

complete, to buy stock. He expects

business.
The new store will give the city
six places handling women's ready
to-wear. The others are Philbricks,

with Gov Dinwiddie with regard to provid-
ing regular chaplains for the troops, and 1t Is
tradition that In the absence OF the Clergy he
himself read the Scriptures to his men and led
them in prayer. It was about this time that
