fair, no role being weakly presented,
while Uncle Tom" Eva" "Topsy,"

and is as strong 10 the role as any actress

quartet was the most creditable of all.
This was actually better than the audi

ers
Our buyers have now returned from
their second eastern fall trip where thew
succeeded In purchasing several great
lines of dry goods, especially in fall
dress goods, blankets underwear, hosiery
and ribbons at prices which most Ger
tainly surpass anything laid before the
public this season
The reason for such profitable DUR
chases Is mainly on account of the fall
season being close at land and eastern
manufacturers and importers are very
anxious to close out their fall and winter
stocks, even II such has to be done at a
great sacrifice on their part.
Another reason, well known 10 all
eastern houses, is the fact that no ouan>
tity is too large for us as long as the
goods and prices are all right.
