employ them. The law says they shall be
fined, but they have no property. Ia leu
Of a fine they are put in jail at the
c0unty's expense, and the work remains
uBd0ue.
II is impossible in The face OF these and

and they remain many Of them almost

The people along the line Of the Angus

Throw a stone into a crowd and there is

from so Insignificant an experiment.
Now last week, just by chance, we
thought it worth while to announce that
we keep on hand fun assortment of Full

occasions. The ink wasn't cold before
we had inquiries from gentlemen who saw
the advertisement, accompanied with ex-
pressiOns of surprise that such suits could

is any claim that we can sustain II is that
we pretend to keep a model and complete
gents supply house.
We have had quite a run on our fashion
able Getaway FrOck and Square Sack
Suits. The elegance of the goods, and the
ability to insure perfect iii, have done
the business; in fact, we have played the
tailor Without his Jdncy prices TO perfec-
ton.
Parties who have been paying exorbi.
tant prices to exclusive furnishing goods
houses have been supplied, much to their
surprise, at greatly reduced prices. and
their only regret was that they had not
thought hit to try Us before. Our stock Of
Gents, Youths and Boys Suits Is never
allowed TO run down, but is renewed by
fresh arrivals each week.
Our Hat Department is replete with the
latest styles at popular prices. Hand
some quarters, splendid goods and low
