 A IL the good plushes in the world come

It's often the case, the same set make for the cloak-men and for the furriers. Everyone recognizes the skill of these people with knife and needle. They make two cuts of sacques-one with 8 seam in the back, and one without. The one with seam is the better. We have both. We trust the people who make for us. But we treat them so as to trust with reason.

A RUNAWAY TRIO.
Three Memphis Boys Out On Lark, are
Captured in This City.

Late Yesterday afternoon a hungry
and footworn boy about thirteen
years old strolIed into the telegraph
Office and told Operator Pearce that
he was son of Operator Chase at
Memphis. His story OF privations
and nothing to eat for about thirty
hours was interesting to listen to, but
it amounted to the fact that young
Chase, John Riley and Jacob Trube,
American IIishman, and Jew, had
picked up their buds and left Mem
phis for the purpose of emigrating to
foreign lands in order to Improve
their financial condition. They ar
rived at GAINESVILLE without a nickIe
in their pockets and finally got hun
cry. Mr., Pe;lrce the clever Western
Union operator gave his key a tip to
his chum at Memphis and in a
short time received instructions
to send the runaways back
home. The orders We're complied
with and a telegram was received
this morning to the effect that the
boys were at home safe and sound.
One event that occurred at the
meal last night should not be omitted.
1t appears that Chase was Protes-
tant, Riley was a Catholic and Trube
an Isralite. The hotel people brought
them nice piece of roast pork,
which on being otfere | to Rily, he
refused because it was Friday. |
rrubc said he could not partake of it |
because it was hog meat and his
creed said he must refrain. Chase
looked at the morsel and told his
chUms to pass it over to him, and
that he would let them hear more
about It to-day.
The career Of these three boys in
GAINESVILLE caused lots Of fun.

BELLS, KY, Oct, 20-There are
people here this afternoon from all
parts of this tobacco belt, as well as
from Union and Henderson counties
The occasion is a convention of to-
bacco raisers who by resolutions
just passed have formed them
selves into an organization
opposed to raising tobacco next
year. The action of this
meeting is in concert with
a similar one held at Princeton few
days since, which had the same OBJ
jects in view.
Judging from the sentiment en-
from the speakers stand,
there will be no tobacco raised in the
district next year.
