A few weeks ago they desired to dispose of some o'dds and ends in chairs and chinaware, and .therefore placed an ad in The Herald to that effect. It acted like magic, and the articles advertised went weeks ago. The Herald has not off in shirt order.

Lawyer S. J. Ervin had a some: what exciting .experience for a Sort tinie at his home on Friday night. A large lighted reading limp placed on 'the table was acci dentally overturned by one of the . children, the oil igniting and threatening to do serious damage. Mr. Ervin immediately caught up the blazing lamp, his first impluse being to extinguish the flames by blowing them out. In attempting to do this he was burned about the face, his eyes having a narrow escape from serious injury. With quick presence of mind, he-raised the window, opened the blinds, and threw the lamp far out into the yard where it could'do no fur ther damage. The curtains at the window were slightly burned, but the destruction of the home, calling at their store, and men tioning their Herald announcement-ask for those eoods.
