Reliable clothing will not

the difference between it and
low grades well known. The
specious cry of "cheapness"
is resorted to. 1t will fail.
When cloth. trimmings,
style and work are right sue
cess is sure. You'll find them
out, They have everything
to gain by being closely
looked at. We're talking of
our make, you understand.
Of course, the price must
be right, too. Doesn't it seem
as extraordinary a thing as
you know that the most re-
liable clothing in this city
doesn't depend on advertis-
ing prices?
Fall goods are ready: and
we, ready to serve you.
If you have read our ad-

doing tailoring to order for

liberal array of fine cloths and
styles you have ever had.
Hardly possible for you to

Mr.. w. H. Jones, of Atlanta,
made a remarkable find il Florida
a few days ago. This is no more
nor less than a petrified human
hand. It was found Embedded 10
the sand, only a few feet from the
surface, between Rockledge and
Cocoa, on the Indian River. The
hand must have been severed many
years ago, perhaps BY the Indians.
The fingers arc partially closed. the
thumb resting lightly against the
fore aud middle fingers. and it was
a young woman's hand, one Of the
most shapely, refined and delicate
that could be imagined. The tap
ering fingers, nails and dainty wrist
belonged, one must imagine, to a
lady Of great beauty. Near the
wrist joint is the clearly defined
mark OF a bracelet T'raciDgs Of
the veins, muscles and arteries, and
the porus condition Of the hand and
wrist Indicate that it is the natural
human hand petrifed. The creases
in the palm are perfect.-Florida

II. Dupnis, a merchant Of Rayne,
being financially embarrassed, o few
daysago resorted to a novel mode
Of ontwittiug his creditors who'were
about to seize Msatock. He opened
up and sold at purchasers price: take
what you want and pay what you
please. The Signal Of Crowley
thus comments upon the affair
tits indeed 10 be regretted that
a mercantile business should be
subjected to ruin, such as took place
at Rayne last week in the matter
of Dir. Dupuis' auction. That a
merchant should prntect himself,
when he finds that he is about to be
forced to surrender through either
speculation or misfortune, is proper,
and the law in its wisdom has
pointed out the manner in which
merchants so placed can do so and
it is liberal in dealing with them,
in fact much more so than The honest
and often down trodden farmer;
but that goods should be given away
at ten cents on the dollar apparently
and allowed to. be stolen is unjust
and beyond the comprehension Of
any thinking man. We feel sure
that The merchants and people Of
Rayne do not approve Of ssch a
course.
