SPLENDID DEPARTMENT Visited by a ustler-Commer cla| Reporter. The first fifty customers who purchase S2O worth ol goods will be presented with a hand some hand sewing machine, at Bass Bros , & Co’s., store. This offer was first made just one week ago and alreadv a number of these machines have been secured by patrons of this popular house. The machine is all that is ad vertised and is a handsome pre mium on the amount that must be purchased in order to secure it. It sews well, for this deponent saw it in operation. The coupon plan lias been adopted, and, under this system the purchaser buys his goods at regular lowest cash prices, taking a coupon for the amount of each purchase. When the amount of your purchase equals S2O vou hand in your coupons and secure the coveted premium. From the machine exhibition room I dropped in on Mr. Ben ton Owens, in the shoe depart, ment at Bass Bros, ACo’s. Now, I pride myself that while I am not an expert in drygoods, I do know something about shoes. And, right here, let me say by way of introduction, that, while I could write a page about the Bass Bros., & Co’s, shoe depart nent, I will not. I found Mr. Owens at work >rranging his new stock of Ox 'ords, stacks and stacks of them fresh from Krippindorf’s—in all -liapes, shades, toes, heels and grades—from finer to finest. (I went in early, knowing byexpe ience that unless I did so I >vould not get a whack at the head of the shoe department.) To a lover of fine shoes and foot comfort, a visit to Bass’ md an hour among his Krippin lorfs is a feast of sole and an in step arching to perfection. No great manufacturer has so successfully studied the queenly oot of the Southern woman, aence the immense popularity from one end of the Southland o the other, of the Krippendorl shoes, Messrs. Bass Bros., & Co., know this, hence they were quick o secure the Rome rights to this famous make. In laces and but oti, dainty yet durable, in all hades and shapes they offer you the acme of perfection in worn ii and misses foot wear, when hey give you just what you vant, made by Krippendorf. In this department .1 found ither makes of ladies shoes. 1 dso found quite an elegant lim of ladies bicycle boots and leg gins—new goods just arrived nd fresh for the opening sea son. There is an immense slock ol hildren and infant shoes, and another feature of this big shoe department is the coni) lete line »f shoe dressings carried. You name your shade and Benton Owens will do the rest; he very latest in dressing is called “chocolate,” and is for the latest shade in fine shoes, the chocolate. But space forbids —though in desisting today, I promise to de vote a whole chapter to shoes in a few days. Yours shoethingiy, “Kash.” Too • Inch Knife! The use of the aurpeon’s knife is be coming so general, resulting fatally in such a large number of cases, as to I occasion general alarm. Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown, South Dakota, writes; “About three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly,and el ,4 shooting pains ran * n every direction. W • .wy I became alarmed ‘ t k and consulted a good doctor, who /QaR. \ pronounced it can- if'Tuw er > and said that it to/ X ‘ nust be cut out. This I would not J consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Read ing of the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remained to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway. A Real Blood Remedy. I Cancer is in the blood and it is folly toexpect an operation tocureit. 5.5.3. (guaranteed purely vegetable} is a real remedy for every disease of the blood.
