When Cans Marius, the Homan

Numidia who had put. to flight the

with him Lucius Sulla ns com
mander of his cavalry, Marius
was chief in command, and in the
course of time the armies of.fugu.*-
tba were beaton and the king
himself made a captive. The
actual surrender was made to Sulla
who set. the ambush into which
tho unfortunate king fell. When
tho army returned to Romo Jugur-
tha with bis two sons were carried

at onco arose evor “who captured
Jugurtha?’’ The entire popula

In May and Jun oi this y ar th
T. A. Scott Co., bought th ir Fall
and W ii ir stock. That was
arly in the season and we thus
had an opportunity of our selec
tions in both patterns and values
before the stocks of the great
wholesale houses had been picked
over. Since that time there has
been a heavy advance in all lines
of merchandise, and especially in
dry goods, as all merchants have
found who have had to enter the
late market, and this has caused
a rush for inferior goods, to be sold
as ‘ bargains/’ Keep your eyes
open and you will see lots of light
weight goods and goods otherwise
“off” in pattern and quality offer
ed on the market.
During the coming season the T.
A. Scott Co., will have the largest
stock oi goods they have ever had,
and following their settled policy
will undertake to offfor their cus
tomers the very best value for the
money they spend.
During the coming season Queen
Quality Shoes for ladies, Crossett
Shoes for men, Strouse & Brothers
Clothing, all of which stand the
test of time, will be sold by the
T. A. Scott Co. And their lines in
ladies dress goods, dry goods and
notions will be the best Thomson
t
r
has seen. Keep these tilings in
mind and look through their stock
before making your Fall and Win
ter purchases.
