bottle of witch medicine" under her door

plunged her hand into the bosom of her

marked, "deres de ar'ful pisn. Smell I'm it

"Jedge, wut's here furP'

Ihe Best Time To Buv Yaluahlas

This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive OF from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn'G go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. Ia word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added TO our
stock IN various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. new tricks and quips in jewelry and
SO on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we lViU sell ueru
close to move some of it. This is good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence Ct
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches and Jeweiry, etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give no,C. They
will keep, and you will save money.

William Green Shoots Himself in the
Leg and Brings Up in the Barracks.
The report of a pistol at the corner of
Perry and Whitaker streets, at $3.50 o'clock
last night, created considerable excitement,
and inquiry elected the fact that William
Green tcolored) had accidentally shot him
self in tho left leg, below the knee. Adolph
Co.'S ran across the street and collared the
negro and called for an officer, and 81
Basch came up. Goss turned Green over
to the officer A pistol minus the cylinder,
was found on Green's person. The wound
was only flesh wound, and Green says it
was occasioned by the cylinder falling out
of place on tie sidewalk, dscharging one
of the cartridges, but the story is thought
to be very fiimsy at the barracks, as the
cartridges are center fire.
Green and companion were on the way
to Lovers lane, and the pistol was being
exhibited by Green when it was discharged.
The wound bled freely, ard the hail. which
was from "a 32 cartridge, passed through
