Two of our popular young business
■pen took a trip on Friday in a buggy to
a neighboring town, carrying with them
ammunition and guns with whieh to
slaughter the unsuspecting game> On
the way back they stop, one of them
goes into the neighboring fields after
some doves which he has seen settle
therein, leaving hitf companion with in
structions to shoot anything in eight
wearing leathers. After chasing those
doves several miles and using up all
of bis shells, he comes back and
finds his friend calmly load
ing and firing at a “kitty-hawk”
sitting on a tree, which, so far as any
thing Is known to the contrary is still sit
ting there as be bad not flown when the
ammunition gave out, Tbe friends were
a little blue over their bad luok and were
beginning to quarrel, when tbe taller of
tho two saw an old erow on a fence.
They stopped again, and after a pretty
sharp race they captured the bird, whioh
could not fly, and pausing at a negro
cabin, they had him cooked, and either
one of them will now tell you that crow
is far ahead of any other kind of game,
both in delicacy and flavor.

A Negro Boldly Fill* a Joe With Whl.ky
and Walks Off.
Last |nlgbt about 9 o'clock a negro
named Wm. Eveiett walked into Mr. W.
J. Slappoy's piece on Forsyth street and
after ; loafing around for awhile en
deavored to take from the shelf a bot
tle of whisky when he thought the
clerk's back was turned. He was
caught at this and made to replace the
stolen property. Yet he still hung
around, and when the clerk was busy
with a customer in the front part of the
store Everett picked up a small jug, and
going to a barrel of gin, deliberately
Ailed it from tbe spigot. He then car
ried the jug out of tbe back door and
hiding it under the steps, walked into
the store again and stood around for a
few minutes longer. In the meantime
Mr. Slappey’s clerk had sent out for
a policeman who arrived just after Ever
ett had gone out of the front door. They
all went to the baek of tbe store and
reached the door as the thief was taking
the jug from under tbe steps. Seeing
that he bad been discovered he made a
break with the stolen property ' in his
hand, the policeman in pursuit snd
quite a race they had of it, not overhaul
ing him until he had reached a point a
full half mile from Mr. Slappey’s.
Lieut. W. W. Wheeler is a large man,
but as a first-class, long distance sprin
ter be has few equals, for notwithstsnd

captured and is now safely lodged in

in thes days of cumercial aktivity, when each stor shud sho an
attempt 2 keq>in up 2 the methods and posibilites of the times, let
firm hnv the nowledge of how 2 by—let them hav the pink 2 plan im-
provments—let them hav the energy to kary them oat and n wil do
wel 2 let them havyor trade.
A yer ago ther wer the remains of an engin lions on the korner of
Lee and Lamar streets. 2 da n hav forgoten the engin hous—you
rarely cul the plas othr than the Rtezen Korner. Wat has changed
it ? Nothin’ bnt pluk an’ energy.
Pink and energy hav changed it from barenes 2 buty, fild it with
a Btok whioh snrprisd a for komprehensivnes. 2 da it is 3 times as
large as then—it is stil growin. A yer ago fa had herd of Butler &

hav not a familer jingle, and ther r fu among the tradin public who do
not consider the names Butler & Berry synonimus with 'ekonomy find

300 yers ago Shaksper said, "All men hav ther prices,” but had he
lived in Amerions 2dn he wud hav also told u who had the cheapest
prices. Then it takes no Shaksper to realies that if a firm, insted o
hying smal qnantites at larg prices, will by larg quantitos 2 get smal
prices, tha ean esily lower yoor expenses. Pink and energy an yor
