FOR A PREMIUM-
A Hand Sewing Machine to
The First Fifty.
SPLENDID DEPARTMENT
Visile I by a ;Hustler-Commer
cia| Reporter.
The first fifty customers who
purchase S2O worth of goods
will fie presented with a hand
some hand sewing machine, at
Bass Bros , & Go’s., store.
This ofl r was first made just
one week ago and already 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 purclias d in order to secure
it.
It sews well, for this deponent
saw it ii> operation.
The coupon plan has been
adopted, and, under this system
the purchaser buys his goods at
regular lowest cash prices,
taking a coupon tor the amount
of each purchase. When the
amount of your purchase equals
S2O vou hand m your coupons
and st cure the coveted premium.
From the machine exhibition
room I dropped in on Mr. Ben
ton Owens, m the shoe depart
ment at Bass Bros, & Co’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
ment, I will not.
I found Mr. Owens at work
arranging his new stock of Ox
fords, stacks and stacks of them
fresh from Krippmdorf’s—in all
shapes, shades, toes, heels and
grades —from liner to finest. (I
went in early, knowing by expe
rience that unless I did so I
would not get a whack at the
head of the shoe department.)
To a lover of fine shoes and
foot comfort,"a visit to Bass’
and an hour among his Krippin
dorfs is a feast of sole and an in
step arc nog to perfection.
No great manufacturer has so
successfully studied the queenly
foot of the Southern woman,
hence the immense popularity
from one end of the Southland
to the other, of the Krippendorf
shoes,
Messrs. Bass Bros., & Co.,
know this, hence they were quick
to seoure the Rome rights to this
famous make. In laces and but
ton, dainty yet durable, in all
shades and shapes they offer you
the acme of perfection in wom
en and misses foot wear, when
they give you just what you
want, made by Krippendorf.
In this department I found
other mak sos ladies shoes. I
also found quite an elegant line
of ladies bicycle bootsand leg
gins—new goods just arrived
and fresh for the opening sea
son.
There is an immense stock of
children and infant shoes, and
another feature of this big shoe
department is the complete line
of shoe dressings carried.
You name your shade and
Benton Owens will do the rest;
the very latest in dressing is
i called “chocolate,” and is lor
the late t shade in fine shoes,
the ch >co ! ite .
But space forbids—though in
’ desisting today, 1 promise tode-
I vote a w’nol chapter to shoes in
J a few days.

LAVENDER LEAVES.
Tho waving corn was green and gold.
The damask rows blown,
The been and busy spinning wheel
Kept up » drowsy drone,
When Mistress Stundish, folding down
Iler linen, white as snow,
Between it laid the lavender
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes of grayish green.
Still moist with mor.iiiv: w,
Recalled a garden sw-vt with box
Beyond the ocean’s blue.
An English garden, quaint and old,
She nevermore might know,
And so she dropped a homesick tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew worn and thin,
And f< 11 in many a shred;
Some went to bind a soldier’s wounds,
And some to shroud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And violots blossom, planted thi re
In summers long agb.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall
Springs up tin modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall.
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across it to and fro—
The ghost of linen laid to bleach
Ono summer long ago.

Tha Horned KwttlesiuUra.
The oddest specimen of the snak*
family known to the American natural
ist, not taking into consideration tht
two Leaded snake and other m notiosi
ties of that ilk, is the horiivu rattle
snake, which up to a few yc-ws ago was
thought to be one of the rarest as well
as one of the most poisonous of serpents.
Pri«r to the time when Dr. C. Hart
Merriam made the famous Death valley
exploring expedition, in 1892 3, but few
specimens of it, and those mostly from
the western desert regions, had been col
lected. The Death valley explorers say
that Death valley is literally alive with
them. They have horns on top of their
heads and are the smallest rattlera
known.—St Louis Republic.
one or the most extraordinary results
of the present cycling craze is the for
mation in London of a “Chaperon Cy
clists’ association, ” which provides
companions for those who do not think
it proper to ride alone.
Sheen House, London, England, once
the residence of the late Comte de Paris,
has been rented by what promises to be
the smartest bicycle club in England.
Among its patrons are the Duke and
Duchess of Marlborough.
The Connecticut assessors are goibg
to tax bicycles this year, claiming au
thority under a law providing for tax
ing “coaches, wagons and other car
riages.” If the court sustains their con
tention, it is difficult to see hdv even
the baby carriages can escape being lev
ted on.
Hanna’s Pineapple Patch.
According to a correspondent of the
Washington Star, Marcus A. Hanna
Owns a little pineapple patch in Dade
aounty, Fla., which he loves to visit.
"Mr. Halina, ” he says, "was boarding
it Palm Beach, where the hotels charge
a day during three months cf the
year and $4 a week during the othei
nine. Well, Mr. Hanna was hoard in;,
there during the $6 a day season. The
germ of the pineapple contagion entered
bis blood, and he bought an acre of pint
land from Representative Linton of
Michigan, who owns a big tract of muck
and pine lands along the Bicayne Bay
canal. Mr. Hanna’s acre lies between
the Atlantic and the Everglades, 300
miles south of Jacksonville, Uncle Mose
Hawkins ’tends it and sends a monthly
stop report to Mr. Hanna. Uncle Mose
told the writer that he would rathe:
grub an acre of hummock land with tin
sun at meridian and the mosquitoes it
full bloom than to write out ‘dat ’por
ter Marse Hanner.’ ”
The Blacksmith's Note.
The sound old proverb about the shoe
maker sticking to his last receives new
confirmation in a stcry from The Greer
Bag.
An honest old blacksmith down in
Texas, despairing of ever getting cash
out of a delinquent debtor, agreed to
take his note for the amount. The debt
or wished to go to a lawyer and hav«
the document drawn up, but the knight
of the anvil, who had been a sheriff in
days gone by, felt fullv competent to
draw it up himself. This he proceeded
to do, with the following result:
“Ou the first day of June I promise
to pay Jeems Nite the sum of eleving
dollars, and if said note be not paid on
the date aforesaid, then this instrument
is to be null and void and of uo effect
Wit-neat my baud. etc. ”
