Mr. Gilliam Thomas died at his father's home some 5 or 6 miles South of Union Tuesday night. Mr. Thomas was about 20 years of age and had been an invalid all his life. He was a brother of Messrs.

Smith's room, over Mr. Cohen's store, talking to some friends. When he left he stumbled and fell down the steps, striking his head against the door facing at the bottom, cutting an ugly gash which bled profusely, It was thought for some tiipe that he had killed himself, but he was soon pulled around to consciousness and was all right in a few hours. This happened Monday noon. Policeman Brock has nabbed a negro, after a long chase, who baa been hang ing around Union, and roosting on top of the boilers at the power bouse several nights. He says he is from dewberry but lias uot been borne for a long time. He stole a hat from one of the workmen ( at the power house. The man took the hat back off the negro's head, aud now the thief is resting behind the bars. Mr. Brock is a regular sleuth, and when he gets after a nig, the nig had as well pull in bis sails.

V Bo bo, of Bedalia, moved to Union an opened up a general mercantile busine in the two store rooms formerly oocupU by J. Q. Wray and Murphy & Wall ho rheee store rooms were not consider* especially desirable busine-o stands, bi Mr. Bobo is a business mau and he bega in a business-like manner. One of tt Irst things he did was to contract for food healthy advertising space in tl newspapers. In this space he announce .bat lie had come here to do busines uid that he proposed to show the reade ,hat he feared ho competition. Thei nras no stinginess displayed by Mr. Bob n a desire to secure a measly little cor lenscd space, because it could be gotte 'or a few-' dollars lean. He had deoide /oa^yfe'rtise his business for the purpo: jFdrawing trade to his place and 1 <vuuumi7uil 11 m immrLinf. fui't that. t/i rl ihis ru cewfully h? must recognize tli idvertiaement of his business us one < the departments of the business, and u tie did not intend to do one-horse bus nrflB, he did not propose to do one-hon advertising. It was strictly a matter < business with him. He advertised f Lhegood he could get out of the businee and his phenominal success shows th be was level beaded. Now as to the r suit: He opened up with two clerks. Tl advertisement began to talk to the pe pie, the people began to go and invest gate. They met with courteous trea ment and found things as represents they came back, they told their friem ind soon another clerk liad to be add( to the force to wait upon the increasir list of customers, then another clerl ind another and still another, until no' it requires the employment of eleve clerks to attend to the trade, aud gocx are arrivirg by the car load, the la te arrival is four car loads of tlour, tw car loads of molasses, one car of coi and other things in proportion. M Bobo's present force consists of C. 1 Boyd, chief clerk, Miss Fannie Bjb cashier, L. 8. Sparks, I. J. Thompso Miss Cattie Gibbes, and Miss Mildn Scott. The above are in the dry go> department. In the furniture and ui dertaking department are Messrs. V W. Cooper, F. G. McHugb, G. T Brewington. while Mr. J. K. Thomas in charge of the grocery departmen and yet somejtimid little merchants hat on to their business year after year wit with a clerk and dull trade, and "whe he is approached for an advertisemei he meets you with the reply that he dor see lrow advertising can pay, they ha tenaciously to the falacious idea and a always ready to cry lnrd times. Bidders For Sewerage Wanted. Mr. Lndlow was present at t meeting of the council Monday nig in answer to a request to meet t Council and explain the details of 1: survey for the city sewerage. 1 brought his maps and drawings ai explained every detail to the Ant: satisfaction of the counoil.
