A Change is Taking Place.

A change is taking place all over the
store. Light colors are giving way to
the dark, and light fabrics to the heavy.
We are ushering in the goods of the new
season, and we are taking advantage of
the inclement weather to put the store
to rights-to place these new goods 50
that you may see them readily and Sc.
lect easily. In choosing the new stock
we have aimed to eclipse all previous
efforts; to make it larger and more
varied; to do the business even better
than heretofore, and to make it more
than ever to your interest to trade here.
We aim to place before our patrons the
latest and best products in our line
latest in material, style and shade, and
to carry only such goods as have an in
trinsic value-the best possible to Sc
cure at given price.
Each year we have enlarged our bust
ness, getting closer and closer to the
manufacturers, thereby procuring our
goods at rock-bottom prices, saving to
you the middle-man's profits The
more business we do the lower we can
afford to sell.
We have, leased another adjoining
building, which is now being recon
structed, and we hope to occupy it about
November 1.
This will give us much-needcd room,
and enable us to enlarge number of our
present departments, particularly on the
first floor, and probably add few new
ones.
In the future, as in the past, we shall
guarantee both our goods and prices
and refund the money for everything
sold by us, if returned in the condition
bought.
Very respectfully,
WOODWARD & L0THR0P,

ed an altitude of half a mile it suddenly
burst and began to descend to the ground
rapidly, to the horror Of the spectators.

that he would escape death. The para
chute fell near the center of the Chatta-
hoochie river, andVand egrift was drowned
in spite of the efforts of two men in a boat
to save HIM. The unfortunate man was
twenty five years old. He was born in
Virginia and had been in the balloon
business for twelve years. He made his
first leap with parachute at Greenville,
