Renodeliag the Old Opera House.
The work of turning the opera
house into a wholesale dry goods
establishment is progressing rap-
idly. Thursday the stage was
torn out and other changes made
which destroyed all the operatic
semblance that once graced the
forum, though in an antiquated
form. Two large show windows
were placed in the east and adjoin-
ing building, which was lately
used for a saloon. This store
room wiill remain as it is now a
one story structure, for a while at
least. There will be a new addi-
tion built on the north end
extending fifty feet north
and the full width of the building,
seventy-live feet. This new addi-
tion, together with the the opera
iall and the room lately occupi#d
by Field tfc Spencer, will be de-
voted exclusively to the wholesale
epartment. The two rooms east,
which have a frontage of fifty feet,
and depth of 100 feet will be de-
voted exclusively to the retail
department. The entire seventy-
live feet frontage wiil be re-
modeled and fitted up with
line French plate glass.
This building when finished and
litted up will be one of the most
convenient and commodious busi-
ness houses in the city. An ele*
vator, handsome counters, elec-
tric lignts, and all the necessary
improvements, that go to furnish
usefulness and attractiveness
will be added. It will only be a
short time till this building will
be already for the reception of the
mammoth slock of geods, that is
to be placed in it. At least $ 100,-
(X>0 worth of merchandise
will be put in at the start
which will beconstantly increased
as the expected Urge tradi- will
demand. The business gentlemen
who have undertaken this grand
scheme and appreciative public
enterprise deserve well of their
fellow-townsmen and the sur-
rounding country for this mani-
festation of their public-spirited
labor. Lewin Bros, and Goldstein
A Melisky will soon be popular
names among the wholesale mer"
chants of the country.

Valley View, T«x., Jan. 2.—
Christmas has come and gone, and
left naught but the memory of
pleasant times among us. The
new year glided in bright and
pleasant, filling all with bright
anticipations for the future.
A pleasant feature of the holi-
day season in Valley \ iew was
the elegant Christmas tree, pre-
pared at the church. It was a
perfeot success, and many were
the hearts that were made glad by
the presentB received on the joy-
ful occasion.
The last ten days have bt-en
made quite lively lor our
just before Christmas, and after
biting a great many dogs in the
vicinity, was followed and killed
on Spring creek bottom by some
of our citizens. It would be a
good plan now to inaugurate a
crusade against the canine race?
and thus rid the country of its
worst nuisance and greatest terror
—worthless curs which are liable
to go mad at any time and endan-
ger the lives of the community.

market. The town is full of wheat '
buyers and bidding has been at a
lively rat<-.
There is no longej any question
as to the respective merits of
Gainesville and Valley View ab
wheat markets, as much wheat
that was offered on the streets of
the former has been hauled from
theie to Valley View and sold,
owing to the better prices prevail-
ing in the latter place.
Our school is increasing in mem-
bers and interest constantly, the
pupils and teachers are doing ex-
cellent work, as was nlainly shown
in the examination at the close of
the fall term, Decemb r 23. The
number of pupils who attained a
general average of 90 per cent,
and over, was primary depart-
ment lo, intermediate department
6, Academic 4. The highest
average was made by Rebecca
Sutton primary department 96J
per cent; in Academic depart-
ment by Eddie Overshiner, 94 6-7
per cent; intermediate depart-
ment Lula Gamble, 93 per cent.
An attractive feature of the
school is the practical work done
by the class in civil government,
they have organized a United
State* congress, and will meet each
Friday night. By this means they
obtain a practical idea of the
principles of government and law
making.
