K. II. Boyd is attor ney for the creditors. The store went Into the hands of a receiver on March 1, 1912," with claims of $7,000 against it. Fifty three and three-tenths per cent, of these claims have been paid, leaving a balance of $3,600 due the creditors of the store. The creditors are Mc Cord Drady company, the Donald company, Raymond Brothers Clarke company, Kearney Flour Mills, I lag er Candy company, 8wlft & Com pany, It en Biscuit company and For ettt Lumber company. The buslnefls was originally incor porated, small blocks of stock being sold among over 100 different people. It is said, however, that . the failure to fUe the articles of incorporation with the county clerk invalidates the articles of incorporation and causes each stockholder to become a part- uer. This is the reason for the suit being brought against the etock- holders Indi viduallly, tt being claim ed that each individual is liable for the entire amount of the indebted- tteat.

BUSINESS MEN DISPLEASED Starting of Third Paper as Organ of Political Ring Looked Upon with Oisfavor ! i Tiie proposition to start a third paper In Allinnve to help out the po litical fortunes of a few unpopular politicians is being frowned upon by the people o'f this city, except those j who have "an ax to grind." The sup-; port of a looai newspaper usually falls principally upon the business men of the town as advertisers. As there im no need whatever for amoth-j er paper here, either from the standpoint of business or for the dissemination of news, a good many of the business men are protecting agadnst placing a useless burden up on them, in order to patronize! ail the home papers. Thcie who have been readers of The Herald for the past few years know that it has been our policy to! discourage the needless multiplica tion of business houses In any line.! While reaching out for the estab lishment in Alliance of lines of busl nete not already or properly repre sented, we have endeavored to dte suade persons from starting any new establishments that would be detrimental to the general business interest of the city. This paper has recognized the fact that n town Is not benefitted by dividing up busi ness among too kirge a number of establihments of the same kind. A few first-class mercantile establish ments are more to the credit of a city and serve the public far better than a whole lot of small stores that because of too many of the kind can never grow into anyth'ng more than little, dinky, one-horse af fairs. It Is the same way with newspa pers, only worse because of the burden of support falling, so largely upon other business interests. And when it is taken tuto consideration, as people here commonly know, that the new paper Is being started for political purposes, it Is not range that honorable business men of the city are displeased with the project. As for helping the political aspira tions of the office seekers who are back of it, the only way we can see tt might do Chat would be by promoting deceptions that have feen practiced prvaftely. Whether it can do that remains to be seen. SAYS "MORE THAN WELL PLEASED Manager of the -Moore Grocery Co. Satisfied with Results of Late Special Sale In mentioning lm a recent issue of The Herald the successful special Hale conducted In Alliance this sin ter; that of the Moore Gro-ery Co. should have been included, as it was one of the principal sales of the month. In speaking of this sale Man ager Lee Moore remarked that he was "more chain well pleased." And right here we wih to call attention to the combination that made the sale a success: - It was well advertised thru The Herald and by means of well print ed hand bills: the advertising waa backed up by goods of good quality and low prices; customers received courteous treatment and prompt ser vice. If those merchants who com plain about "trade being quiet" will try the same combination. The Her ald will guarantee that they will be "more than well pleased." niuuu : JUST OPENED: PRIZE SHOOTING GALLERY Gome try your skill, have a good time and win a valuable prize.
