1t has been truthfully said that the Arcade
Shoe Store was doing the boot and shoe bus
iness of Springfield and often asked how we
succeeded in getting so large proportion of
the trade in 80 short time, it is easily an
swered. twenty years experience in the boot
and shoe trade with plenty OF money to pay
spot cash gives US goods at the lowest possible
figures, with our large cash ssles, low rent, no
clerk hire, no bad acts, and one price to every
body justify US in saving that we do business
on a small margin. We wish to call attention
to few OF our prices that we claim have not
been equaled by any shoe dealer in this city.
Our mems button balls and congress for $500,
our ladies' kid and goat button at $3.50 and
grain at $l.25, all solid, can't be surpassed.
Our lace shoes for ladies from S5 cents 10
$l.25, child's button 35 cents, solar tips 8 TO
l04 for S5 cents. These goods have been
sold here for years and our increasing trade
proves that they are good for the money. We

The Gay Mr.. William Weeks.

As gay deceiver, William Weeks, a
Long Island farmer, takes the cake.
Some time ago William went to Free
port and married young widow who
owned good farm. Everything passed
merrily for a time, when he stepped
over to Norwood and married another
widow, also scooping in another good
farm. He lived with number two
awhile and then returned to number
one. explaining his absence by saying
that he had been engaged in lucky
speculation. The next day he went
back to number two and told her the
same story. In short time the senior
wife began to watch him, and soon
found him in his Norwood home. Will
lam was equal to the emergency. He
ran away, stopped in Brooklyn. mar
ried another widow. and escaped to
Canada. 1t is plain that this fascinat-
ing gallant is monopolizing the wild
ows, and unless something is done
to check his career, he will gobble up
all the well-to-do women OF the be-
reaved variety to be found in the circle
Of his travels.-AtlGnta Constitution.

women's Christian Temperance Union
Convention.

Convention.
The Clark county Union of the W. c. T.U.
met in convention at the Methodist Protest.
ant church, on Pleasant street, yesterday
Thursday, and held an all-day session,
which was one of the most united, harmoni-
Gus and profitable in its history. Devotional
exercises were conducted by Mrs. J. B. Wertz,
followed by Introductory remarks by Mother
Stewart, based on the text: Delight thyself
in the Lord, and He shall give thee the de-
sres of thine heart" Reports OF secretaries, local
and from different townships throughout the
county, developed the fact of increased ac-
tivity, and increasing earnestness. Among
other reports of Bands of Hope Rev. J. B.
Walker gave an interesting account of one
formed il his own church, and his method OF
carrying it on: 200 pledges against drink,
tobacco aud profanity have been given out in
that band.
The Secretary of the N. R. A., lately as
sembled in this city, was present and offered
stirring words of encouragement aud e1hor-
.ation.
Mrs. Hannah Smith, OF Selma, read beau
Temperance Work" She believed it
to be the influence finally to mold the popu-
lar vote for prohibition. Discussion upon
this paper was ably led by Mr.. R. 5. Thomp-
son, toto whose words many suggestive ideas
were forcibly thrown in favor of this assertion.
At noon a tempting lunch, embracing
many deiicacies, was spread in the church
gallery and paftaken of by delegates and
home workers. The afternoon session opened
with devotions, followed by appointing OF
committees which had been deferred in the
morning. One of these committees was
for the purpose of ascertaining how
many children in this city and county receive
temperance instruction.
The address of welcome by Mrs. N. W.
Baines welcomed the delegates with sugges-
tons OF unfinished work, an invitation to
faithful continuance in well doing and plea
that they emulate Aaron aud Hur in holding
up the hands Of those from whom must, fn-
ally, proceed the issues OF the battle. Miss
Bertha Wildman's graceful response was fol-
loved by paper from Miss Rebecca Shank
of Enou: "A moral groundswel or the roar
OF the cataract" Miss Shank's paptr
was very able and gave trace of much
thought on the subject. Its tone was une-
quivocally in favor OF prohibition.
DR.. Leonard opened the discussion on this
paper as only DR.. Leonard can, with force,
logic and spirit. At the close OF bis ringing
speech, Mrs. Wildman, OF Selma, offered q
resolution declaring the convention in SYM
pathy with the action of the National Union
at St. Louis, endorsing prohibition. The
vote was unanimously in favor of such en-
dorsement.
After general crusade experience meeting,
the convention was invited to meet in Selma
next June.
Resolutions of thanks for the use of the
church. 10 the ministers who assisted in the
exercises, Mother Stewart who presided, and
the speakers who addressed the assembly,
were adopted.
The meeting concluded with the doxology
and pronouncing OF the benediction by Dr.
Leonard.
