"The Famous cost sale last year
! was conducted on the most fair dealing
principles. "Che Famous" known as
the great one price cash bargain house,
offers for short time its entire stock,
consisting of boots, shoes, gents fur
nisbing goods, clothing, trunks and
valises, at exact cost. This offer is
only for short time nd as soon as
we have sold certain amount of goods
we will again sell at regular prices.
Therefore. we advise everybody to call
on us as early as possible. Respectful

Attention is called to the report in
another place, of the meeting held at
the NJ. f. church on Wednesday to de-
wise measures for the relief Of the poor.
With the exception of the old colored
couple, to whom we called attention |
last week and whose wants have ale
ready been supplied, we have heard Of
no cases of actual want. 1t is hardly
to be hoped, however, that such do not |
exist and it should be the pleasant du- |
ty Of those who have plenty to assist |
those who have not enough. 1t is |
to be hoped that the voluntary eontri- |
buttons called for in the minutes of
the meeting, will be sufficient to meet |
all requirements and that it will not |
be necessary to send out special solicit
Ors.
A dispatch in Sundays X. c. Jour
nal FROM Whiting. Kansas states that |
about noon on Saturday, "Andrew E.
lsler, a German barber, who came
here from Kansas City some two
months ago, shot and killed himself
about noon to-day in f. L. Warmers
hotel. He left q letter, written in Ger
man, saying he was sober and commit
ted the crime knowingly. He has no
relatives here but may have some in
lola" The dispatch no doubt refers
to our '"Andy" who worked in Dan.
rharp's barber shop here 50 long. He
has no relatives here that We can learn,
but many of those who were formerly
his customers will be. surprised and
zrieved to learn Of his tragic death. He
was q first-class workman and . man
of very gentlemanly and refined ap-
and manners. But he got
taste for whisky and it downed him.
May God have mercy on his soul. :
