At the Original Low Priced
House of
Bolivar

In presenting this Price List we
give the prices of many articles,
showing prices, at which Goods
were sold before we started in
business and the prices now for
the same Goods, and ask the peo-
pie of Bolivar and vicinity, in our
behalf, to compare the present
and former prices of Goods, and it
will be seen that we are now
selling Goods, as low if not lower
than any House in Tennessee.
We know that we have ability to
meet and overcome any obstacle,
that may arise before us in bust
ness, and are willing at a moments
notice to meet the prices made by
any rival House. No skirmish
line can drive us from the field.
We are willing to meet the enemy
in ambuscade, in the open field, or
even at home behind his own
breaswork. We come to stay and
will hold "The Fort" at all haz-
ards.

THE WAY OF THE TRANS

Suicide Thursday Morning About 3
O'eIOek-Wm. Redman the UpToF-
tunaIe Victim Of isis own Vices
and His own ExeeutIOner.

The good people residing in the
tenth wsrd were surprised to learn OF
the death of the unfortunate man, As
announced above, resulting from poi
son which he took, intending [ } termi
nate sn existence too miserable Tor
human endurance. For years this
young man, infatuated with the come
what notorious Alice Smith, who lives
with Lizze Il sck, had been rapidly
descending the inclined plane leading
to his utter ruin in his debauchery un-
til his money and self-respect were
both reduced So low that the unfortu-
nate victim of vice became entirely
reckless, and on his earnest appeal 10
4 former friend he obtained few dol
lars under pretense of leaving the city,
when he purchased the fatal drug
which he drank, and then went to the
room of his partner in vice. He in
formed her OF his act of self-destrucs
ton, placing the bottle with part oil
the poison on d able near by, and TAX
ing q seat in the room of the now thor
oughly excited frsil woman, he was
soon n CHASTITY corpse. This unfortu-
nate man had the appearance of mid
ole age was barber by occupation and
is possessed, naturally, of physcal and
intellectual capacities which, under
the guidance of good standard
Of morals would have made him an ex-
cellent member of. society. This sad
termination of misdirected endow-
ments forcibly illustrates the great
truth that every violation Of the laws
of our being subjects the erring men,
Der of humanity to the inevitable con-
sequences of trsnsgression. The corO-
ner's jury in the case returned YER
dict rs follows: 1.-THE deceased, Will

poison administered by his own hands,"

Notes Taken In Church.

Don't think the lady who gszes so
intently forward is taking notes on
dress. Some people 60 to church to
hear the sermon.
Don't think the youLg men who
whisper so much are talking on frivo-
lous subj Jets. They are settling some
important question of orthodoxy.
The vulg ar men who stand At the
church door and gaze so immodestly
at the outcoming congregation may be
waiting for some friend, female or
otherwise. II they had modest sisters
or mothers they wouldn'C do so.
Don't call the wicked young man
who bows his head in prayer a hypo-
critic. He may have been raised in
this way and has not departed there
from.
Don't think the smile visible on the
young peoples faces when csmp-meet-
ing is announced has any reference to
counting in the woods. They may be
rejoicing over the prospect of q revival
of religion.
Don't brdle up when man in jeans
or woman in calico sits down beside
you. They may devote their money to
something better than dress. Govern
or Roberts sometimes goes 20 church in
a business suit.
Don't think the man who keeps his
hand in his pocket SO long Is hunting
the smallest coin therein. He may be
after the largest.
The young couples who talk 80 much
1rrt ha -
have not been properly trained.
Don't glance scornfully at your
neighbor when the preacher hits some
particular SIN a hard blow. Introspec-
ton may reveal the fact that you are
struck, too.
Don't condemn those who may not
be at church. They may not be we'll,
or may have duties that keep them at
home, OF may he reading better sermons
than they can hear preached, or. may
not fancy the manner Of treating texts
which is fashionable at present.
The man who keeps his eyes closed
during service is not always asleep He
may shut them to close out all objects
that he may the better contemplate di-
vine goodness, or the light may pain
them.
D,n't condemn the person who
smiles frequently during the sermon.
Some people have sense Of humor
that is incomprehensible to Scotchmen
and bigots.
Don't accept everything the preacher
says as gospel truth. Preachers are as
fallible as other people and they some
times torture the meaning of text to
suit their views. This is sab rosa.
Finally, don't condemn the reporter
on account of this advice; don't say
he had better been otherwise en-
ployed than in taking notes. Nswapa-
per training doesn't tit person for fol-
lowing the thread of q sermon and
ones mind will sometimes fly of. at q

Mr. J. Fl. CoMsTocK, sheriff of Me-

ing in charge one Henry Carson,
charged with robbing the United
States mail at Pegley Station, Menard
county. There have been several rob-
berries committed at that place. Car
son approached Mr.. Comstock, propos-
ing to give him the names of the per-
petrators of these robberies if he would
promise to secure his pardon and di-
vide the rewards. He then gave him
the names of two of the parties, and
made arrangements with him, Com
stock, to arrest the whole party at a
given time that they were to commit
another robbery, but before the time
arrived, Carson reconsidered the mat
ter and failed to come up 70 arrange
ments. Mr.. Comstock, finding that
Carson was acting in bad faith, arrested
him. He was then tried before the
county court and held to await the ac-
tion of the United States grand jury.
There have been other arrests made in
connection with this, and they are on
their way, under the charge of squad
of rangers. Company d Of the rang
urs deserve great credit in assisting to
make their arrests.
