WOOD FOR SALE
Mc AN ALLY SERVICE
STATION BURNED
SATURDAY NIGHT
Lester McAnally suffered a
serious loss Saturday night
when his filling station was
gutted by fire, caused from
the explosion or a gasoline
stove.
When the stove exploded, it
blew a large hole through the
front of the filling station wall
and in an instant the entire
building was enveloped in
flames on the inside." Every-
thing in there was a total loss,
being burned so bad that fu-
ture use is out of the question.
Mr. McAtially stated that he
had a practically new cash
register, a large grease pump
gun, air jammer, and all of his
tires and tubes, besides the
large supply of accessories, all
of which "went up in the
smoke," entailing a loss of
about two thousand dollars
with only $1200 insurance.
He plans to clean out the
waste and get the building
back in shape and resume busi-
ness just as soon as possible,
i and hopes to be back in
business in the next sixty days.
NOTICE CITY TAX PAYERS
AMERSONS LEFT MONDAY
I have opened an office in
the Wallace Dry Goods Store
and can be found there from 9
a. m. to 12, and 2 to 5 p. m.
Pay your tax early in the month
and avoid the last minute rush.
Wm. Blanton,
City Tax Collector.
Rev. and Mrs. Z. J. Amerson
left Monday for Texas Ken-
tucky, where Rev. Amerson has
! accepted a call from the Bap-
i tist church of that community.
Brother Amerson did some
very constructive work in the
Baptist church in Alto during
his two years ministry and his
congregation saw him go with
deep regret.
No pastor has as yet been
selected by the local Baptist
folk, and just when it will be
done has not been announced
by the church board.

MR. ALTO MERCHANT:
Is Your Store
Overloaded ?
c* FTER the Christmas season, when
<5* you look around your store you
will find many things that you
would like to get rid of to make room
for Spring goods, and you would be glad
to sacrifice them, even sell them below
cost, to get what you could, and make
room.
Somewhere, among the hundreds of
Herald readers, there are people who
would be glad to have the very things
you have, IF THEY KNEW YOU HAD
THEM.
That Is The Herald's Job
We bring the buyer and seller together.
Let your merchandise be reflected through
these columns. What you have to sell
is what the other fellow wants to buy
