Sudden Death.

The first day of July about 6 o'clock,
Mrs. Sarah r. Gossett, wife of G. b.
Gossett, died very suddenly at the resi-
dence of her husband on Cumberland
street, of heart disease.
Mr.. Gossett had gone out of the
house for few minutes when his little
girl came out and asked him to "come
in and wake mother" He went in
and found her speechless but still
breathing. Friends were called in and
medical assistance summoned, but be-
fore any one arrived she had Oreathed
her last.
The deceased, some time ago, made
a profession of religion, but ever since
her health has been such that she did
not attach herself to any branch of the
Christian church. She was, however,
a CONSTANT Christian woman, and was
prepared to meet her death, though it
came upon her with scarcely a mo-
mentS warning.
Mrs. Gossett was born in the year
1917, and was married to Mr.. Gossett
i'm 1867. She was a kind-hearted
amiable lady, and deyotedly attached
to her friends. She was almost idol
lied by her husband, who, more than
any other, learned to appreciate her
noble qualities. He has our profound
sympathy in his sudden and sore be-
reavement. Besides her husband, she
leaves four small children to mOHrn
the loss, the youngest being babe on
Nv two months old.

A Great Reduction 10 Change Busi
ness

ness.
The firm of Bearden & Bearden
having determined 10 make a change
in their business on the first of August,
namely 10 go into the wholesale and
manufacturing OF clothing on an ex-
tensive scale, have marked down their
ready made clothing about 25 per cent.
and are without a doubt selling goods
cheaper than have ever been sold be-
fore. They are determined 10 reduce
the present stock before a change in
the firm takes place, and they GER
tainly have gone az IL in the right
way. Their store is crowded continu-
ally and suit after suit leaves the store.
All the salesman are continually kept
busy waiting upon customers, Tor the
news has gone out that they are sell
ing so cheap, and people Will take ad-
vantage of such repuctions We were
at the store a short time yesterday
evening, and during that time several
suits LETT the house. We priced some
of their suits, and found suits they had
been selling for SIS marked down to
SIS and $50 We found suits at $l2,
that look as though the tailor should
have that much for making them, il
he got paid for his work. Shirts at
III per dozen. That are worth 9oO, ana
so on. We could enumerate in this
style until the whole column is occu-
pied, but II is not necessary. Suffice
IL to say they are selling goods as they
never have been sold before, and ii
anybody wants cheap suit of cloth
ing, they had better give them trial
They are still manufacturing "a
order, and il is useless to say that they
always give fits, as any of our citizens
who have tried them, can testify thai
they do. In fact it is a good house tC
deal with, and we take pleasure in
recommending it 10 the public fol
their patronage.
Mr.. Joe McTjer, who has been con
nected, for the past nine years, with
the house of Stein & Co., of Balti-
more, will become a member Of tbs
firm after the 1st Of August.
