We open today another bargain in

have this season.
This is a fine make of goods and the
styles are about the handsomest we have
yet shown. One large house in Philadel-
phia gets Is cents for them; our price is
IL IL cents.

JUST THINK OF IT!
80 Per Cent in Favor Of Wilmington! !!

And why SO great difference? Cling
hams in good styles are scarce. And
though this firm sold these same goods at
II IL cents early, when they began to
get scarce they put up the price to Is first
and now Is cents
A very easy thing to do in a large
city like Philadelphia, where so many
people go to do their buying, and think
because it is a large place the prices must
be right anyhow, no matter what that
price may be.
AS we still have some of these goods
on hand, and this new lot coming to our
hands without any extra cost, we shall
continue their sale at the old price, y IL

above the water and the bayou is ahout
fifteen feet deep at that point. The dis
lance to the water from the bridge and
the depth of the bayou proved conclu-

his intention was self-destTuction, but
he changed his mind on the
downward trip and when he came
to the surface he struck a good healthy
