An Incident Of Gcitysburg.


The Boston Transcript relates the
following remarkable incident OF tho
battle of Gettysburg:
You may not be aware that it was
General Gordon's command which
struck the flank Of the Eleventh Corps
on the afternoon of the first day at Get.
,ysbury, and after shoit but desperate
conflict broke its lines and swept IL
from the field.
"In that fight General Barlow, of
New York, commander OF tho First Di-
vision, iell dangerously and, It was
thought, mortslly wounded. lie was
shot directly through the body. Two
Of bis men attempted TO carry him
through that shower Of lead from the
field; but one was instantly killed, and
Gen. Barlow msgnanimously said 10
the other: you can do me no good;
save yourself il YOU can. Gordon's
brigade Of Georgians in its wild charge
swept over him, and he wac found by
Gen. Gordon himself lying with up
turned face iD the hot July sun, nearly
paralyzed and apparently dying. Gen.
Gordon dismounted from his horse and
gave him drink OF water from his can
teen, and inquired Of Gen. Barlow his
name and wishes.

One Price Marked in
Plain Figures.
WHAT IT MEANS.

The merchant who has but one price for
his goods and marks that price in plain fig
ures on the article he offers for sale, so that
his customers and the public can see them
evidently means to say to the people, look
at our goods and prices, they speak for
themselves and invite your patronage, all
tricks OF trade are laid aside and business
on the fair, square principles are intro
duced by at once setting before the Gus
toner the best articles at the lowest prices.
IT MEANS that We are courting the
custom of the most experienced buyers as
we'll as giving an assurance to the ineXpe-
rienced that they are buying their goods
as cheap as the sharpest buyer.
ITMEANS that we are showing quality
and prices to every one as against all COM
petition, that we are always selling as
cheap as the cheapest and that none shall
undersell us.
IT MEANS that we are not playing with
customers at the game of asking one price
and selling at another, charging one Gus
toner more than another, and taking all
we can get from the customer for an ar
ticle. In other words we never charge
penny more to any customer than we can
afford to sell the article at.
IT MEANS, a confidence in our ability
to manufacture and buy goods at such
prices as will enable us to mark them at Il
selling price; that at once assures the buy
er that they are as cheap or cheaper than
he can find them elsewhere. This is SIM
ply fair, square business and not inde-
pendence, as some people suppose, because
we refuse to ''knock Off something" when
they buy The fact is this plan means the
knocking of when the goods are marked
IT MEANS, common sense, straight
forward honest plan Of doing business.
While in a measure novel to the citizens
OF this locality, we have for the past 10
years strictly adhered to 1t in our whole
sale glove departments, coming III COM
petition with the glove products OF the
world sold on every sort Of plan. We
have not only sold the same parties year
after wear, but we are selling the largest
retailers in the United States and received
and filled during the past years the
largest orders ever given by any retail
house in the United States with demand
for our work far beyond our facilities to
produce. Outside of the common sense
view of this plan the practical and salts
factory working of ii in our wholesale
departments induced us some Is months
since to apply it to our retail department.
The result has been most satisfactory IN
every particular, a largely increased bust
ness, pleased our customers, made us feel
better, eat better, sleep better and enjoy
life better, conscious at the close of each
days business that we had dealt fairly
with every patron and that every penny
in our till was honestly ours. On this
plan we invite the attention Of the eXpe-
rienced as well az tie attention of those
not fully posted to our retail store as the
place to secure the best goods at the low
est prlces.

IT The FREE PREss publishes an Inter
view with Hon. J. VI. Mason, Of Charles
town, in regard 70 the so-called West
Virginia Certilcatss-Mr. Mason having
given the matter considerable attention "a
counsel for certificate holders. lie says
"an idea prevails among the brokers (Wall
Street. that West Virginia will some day
voluntarily pay one or two millions, and
these securities, which are without any
tangible basis OF value, seem 10 grayliate
into the hands of class OF men who hold
the tighter the lower they fall" and
maintains that "there il universal con-
yiction in West Virginia that VIC do not
owe any part Of the debt, which Is so
deep-sestcd that nothing short Of q de-
cision OF the highest court can ever shake
IT," The Readju-ers, he thinks, twill
never disturb the Riddleberger bill and
the Funders acguiesce very cheerfuIiy In
a result they tried to prevent, but which
lightens their taxes. In fact, there IL n
rapidly increasing determination on both
sides not TO reopen the debt question.
The bonds are not and never will De held
at home, hence there will be no local in
terest or influence I'm their favor. Having
thus readjusted her own debt, Virginia
will hardly take her daughter by the
tbroat-she will hardly initiate the ser
want, who, forgiven his debt, laid hands
on his fellow servant, saying pay ne that
thou owest."

DON'T IlslE THE MINISTER.

settles the matter. 1t You don't like
the minister, you have no duties TO per

you from all responsibility.
If you are an elder, you may sulk, or
resign, or "object, or do nothing. The
fact that you don; like the minister
releases YOU from your ordinary vows.
If you are q trustee, you need not

Putting up heating stoves and

of room to show their immense stock
of goods.
We understand that DR.. S. K.
Williams intends putting stock of
drugs, either in Flesher & Harding

pecially for drugs, and If that be
true there will likely be another
stock of dry goods, boots, shoes &c
