Jw Fall aOgHn MsH
We are about to enter upon another Fall and Win
ter season, and it is our Intention to make it the
best we ever had. Ten years ago we began this
business on a small scale, only one room, but by
giving the best bargains, keeping out of combina
tions to put up prices, and by the patronage and
help of the trading public we have built up the larg
est business in this city and one of the largest in
the South.
Our Seven Stores arejjfilled from top to bottom with all the new goods of the season, and the
prices and statements we make concerning them are absolutely true. Some merchants are al
ways selling out AT COST and using other deceptive means in their advertisements, such as “half
price,” “one-third off” and “bankrupt sales.” We prefer to describe the goods, name the prices,
and when they are called for have them just as advertised.
: IT Wl LL PftY YOl):
To come hundreds of miles as others
do, to trade here. Our goods and
prices cannot be beaten.

WONT BE SPAIN’S OATSP AW
Public Opinion in Germany Is In
Favor of the Dons.
London, Sept. 28—The Berlin
correspondent of the Daily News
says:
“The statement that the German
and Austrian emperors have deci
ded to intervene between the Uni
ted States and Spain is utterly un
founded . Public opinion here
favors Spain, but th?re is no ques
tion of the German cabinet mak
ing itself a cat’s paw for Spain,
while Austrian diplomacy will not
allow its foreign policy to be in
fluenced by certain dynastic in
terests. Even apart from that
consideration, Austria can do noth
ing against the United States. It
is pointed out here that France
has by far the greatest financial
interest in Spain, and as a repub
lic, could with more moral weight
stand up against the unjust aspi
rations of another republic. Should
the other powers send a protest to
Washington, Germany would not
be likely to keep aloof, but that is
all. Her commercial interests in
the United States are too great to
be staked with Spanish rule with
Cuba.”

A crafty old fox once saw some
fine bunches of grapes ripening in
a vineyard; but far beyond his
reach. After gazing at them
sometime he said to himself.
“Those grapes may be sour,
but judging from the care ta
ken with them, I hardly think
so.”
He accordingly loped off to the
city, and disguising himself as a
commission merchant, got them all
as soon as they were fully ripened
without even the trouble of pick
ing.
This fable teaches us that all
roads lead to Rome.
Something to Depend on.
Mr. James Jones, of the drug
firm of Jones & Son, Cowden 111,
in speaking of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery, says that last winter his
wife was attacked with La Grippe
and her case grew so serious that
physicians at Dowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seem
ed to develop into Hasty Consum
tion. Having Dr. King’s New Dis
covery in store, and selling lots of
it, he tcok a bottle home, and to
tne surprise of all she began to
get better from first dose, and half
dozeu dollars bottles cured her
sound and well. Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free
trial bottles at Arrington’s Drug
Store.
Too Much Law.
The Birmingham Age-Herald
wisely puts it thus. “Thoughtful
citizens in many states are begin
ing to think there are too many
laws. Every year the national and
local statesmen meet and go to
work making laws as if the salva
tion of the world depended upon
them. Code fellows code, only to
be tinkered, amended or destroyed
by new crops of legislators. Over
worked supreme courts flash their
guesses into print from day today,
but the tangle grows worse all th®
time. It would be a blessing to the
country to rock along for at least
: ten years without a single new
■ statute.”
A pain in the chest is nature’s
warning that pneumonia is threat
ened. Dampen a piece of flannel
with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and
bind over the seat of pain, and
ar other on the back between the
shoulders, and prompt relief

FOUND NO INDICTMENT.
Grand Jury Couldn’t Indentify :
Any of the Versaillies
Lynchers.
Indianapolis, Ind , Sept 22.—The
Governor has received a letter from
Mr. R. Connelly, the prosecutor of 1
Ripley county, confirming the re
port that the grand jury has ad
journed without finding any indict
ment agaisnt the Versilles lynch- .
ers. Mr. Connolly says:
“The grand jury did not return |
any indictments agaist the mob for
the reason that they did not suc
ceed in ascertaining any person it.
All the people who would natural
have the most interest in appre- '
hending the guilty parties were j
brought before the grand jury,but!
unfortunately were unable to give j
us anything more certain than
suspicion, and small circumstan
ces that might or might not be
true.”
The governor has transmitted
the letter to the attorney general,
directing him to take up and make
a through investigation of the case
in his own time and way.
Those who believe chronic diar
rhoea to be incurable should read
what Mr. P. E. Grisham, of Gaars
Mills, La., has to say on the sub
ject, viz.. “I have been a sufferer
from chronic diarrhoea ever since
the war and have tried all kinds •
of medicines for it. At last I
found a remedy that effected a
cure and that was Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy.” This medicine can al
ways depend upon for colic cholera
morbus, dysentery and diarrhoea.
It is pleasant to take and never
fails to effect a cure. 25 and 50

Siberia’s Snow Flower.
Travelers in Siberia tell of the
wonderful flower that grows there,
and which blooms only in January
when the winter is at its height.
The blossom is something of a
“morning glory,” lasting only a
single day. The flower, when it
opens, is star-shaped, its petals of
the same length as the leaves, and
about a half inch in width. On
the third day the extremities of
the anthers, which are five in num
ber, show minute, glistening specks
veritable vegetable diamonds,
about the size of a pin’s head—
these are the seed of the flower, A
Russian nobleman named Anthos
koff took a number of the seed to
St. Petersburg. They were placed
in a pot of snow and frozen earth.
On the coldest day of the follow
ing January the miraculous flower
burst through its icy covering and
displayed its beauties to the won
dering scientists. The plant has
been very appropriately named the
snow flower.”—Pittsburg Dispatch.

GOLD WILL SATISFY JAPAN
Peaceful Aspect Around Ameri"
can Questions in the Pacific.
Washington, Sept. 29.—An offi
cial announcement of the depart
ure of the Japanese cruiser for
Yokohoma, together with the state
ment that the immigration ques
tion raging between Japan and
Hawaii is likely to be shortly set
tled without arbitration has
thrown a peaceful aspect around
Ameiican questions in the Pacific.
This cheering news has been
communicated to the state depart
ment by Minister Sewell, stationed
at Honolulu, whose mail reports
have just reached the department.
The most important statement
made by Mr. Sewell is that the
Hawaiian-Japanese authorities
have agreed that SIOO,OOO in gold
will settle the claims of the latter
against the Dole authorities.
The cruiser Philadelphia will
come home immediately after the
arrival of the gunboat Wheeling,
with to return “when
the Naniwa has left.”
According to a celebrated ana
tomist there are upwards of 5,000,-
000 little glands in the human
stomach. These glands pour out
the digestive juices which dissolve
or digest the food. Indigestion is
want of juice, weakness of glands,
need of help to restore the health
of these organs. The best and
most natural help is that given by
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natur
al, because it supplies the materials
needed by the glands to prepare
ti e digestive juices. Because it
strengthens and invogorates the
glands and the stomach, until they
are able to do their work alone.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures in
digestion certainly and permanent
ly. It does so by natural means,
and therein lies the secret of its
wonderful and unvaried success.
At druggists, price 10 cents to
