MONEY SAVED is MONEY MADE
PAYNE sells for cash at retail and if you buy that
way, you can save money and lots of it, at PAYNES

Objection ay be urged against the policy of conduct
ing Wholesale and Retail business in connection with
each other. Our answer is-and think it sufficient
that in addition to the fact OF our buying goods Of
less figures than than the retailers buy them, the
Wholesale and Retail Departms nts eonduce to the ad
vantage Of each ether in equalzng expenses thereby
enabling to sell at lower prices and giving the pur-
chaser the benefit of the difference.

lust such instances Of this unequal distribution
of Dame Fortunes favors, as respecting e1u-

On the other hand, we see a poor youth,

A Husband Deliberately shoots His
wife.

William II. Uskins and wife have lived for |
A number ofyears at No. All South street
Oskins was a carpenter and by industry had
accumulated some property. Mrs. Osklns al
the same time carried on the millinery Dusl-
ness at Their residence, and her establish
ment soon became known by nearly all the
servant girls in town ss tue place where
exact SMILES of the mistresses' fancy and
costly bonnets could be obtained, done up OF
cheap materials at low price. Her busl'
ness increased greatly and she made money
rapidly THIS fact led her husband to take
matters easily, then TO take TO drink ana
finally TO neglect his business almost in toto.
A natural result OF the drinking was dlsa-
qreemeni between husband and wife, first
chickering's, then blows, then separations and
reconciliation.
few DAYS since Oskins came home beast
iv drunk, and abused Mrs. o. so shamelully
that she again LEFT him, this time with de-
termination to procure a divorce, ana not
live with him again. She went 10 tue mouse

to return to him but she was firm ana
frankly told him of her intention to procure

from lhe hOustt Ms u Wuulu Oulg iNeN w

tuIbance that when he was wanted he
would be sent for. He consented, and
promised not to come again.
Yesterday afternoon about four O'Clock,
while MIR. Register was absent, Osklns
walked in, apparently rather excited, bul
with steady step. He appeared to be
somewhat under the influence OF liquor

PoNDIcHERRY.-We have already men
toned the rumor that Bismarck is chailerlng
for the C ssion Of the French colony OF Pondi-
cherry in India During the treaty negotia-
tions between France and Germany this pro-
position was mooted, but the French regarded
il with so much disiavor that the subject was
dropped. 1t is not unlikely that the new con-
quests of Russia in the East have stimulated
the Germans to renew the proposal. II Is
now said that Bismarck proposes to give Metz
back to the French in exchange for the new
India province, which contains 107 square
miles and population of $4,000. The town
has 10000 inhabitants, and is s5 miles from
Madras.-Balt. Sun.
