Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them BY marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, We can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our r~ightly-made garments are intended
to supplsnt the custom work. Therefore
you cannot judge of the prices without
seeing the clothes.

A gentleman was relating n recent
Sunday Incident in which figured a
farmer, a colored farm hand, a hornets
nest, some hornets and n bull,
though the last took small part. A
bull was standing in tho orchard under
n tree on which was a hornets nest.
The colored man concluded he would
have some fun. The farmer wa a
quiet onlooker. The colored man got
some stones. stood off Mt what seemed
a safe distance, and proceeded to stir
up those hornets and get them to light
on the bull.
Mr.. Hornet appeared to be of a dis
corning mind, took In the situation,
found the bull on his good behavior,
and struck out for the thrower of those
stones. Probably the reader may have
monkeyed with n hornet, and knows
from experience how straight he shootS
He shot that colored man over the eye,
and then the fun began at the wrong
end OF tho line. Such running and
yelling were never before heard or seen.
Everybody laughed but the colored
man, and ever the bull appeared 10

One Of the most promising schemes
by which a fortune was not made was
that OF an inventor OF much mechan-
ical genius who got up a plan for get
ting the gold out Of the Georgia rivers.
Most of the streams which flow from
the gold districts of Georgia have
color IN their sands, but not always
in paying quantities. This man pro-
posed TO build a boat $50 feet long, and
have n sluice running alhthe way round
It, thus giving a sluice length of 800
feet. Then by a steam shovel arrange
ment he intended to scrape up the sand
out of the bottom of the river and drop
Il in the sluice, through which a stream
OF water would always be running.
The gold would collect in the bot
tom. as IN any other %sluice, and at In
tervals there would be cleaning up"
which lie expected would be highly
profitable. As o as one locality was
exhausted the boat would move on to
another. and, TO use n common expires.
sion, he thought there were millions in
Il. The scheme was never tried, for
before he was ready to put it into oper
alton he found nm opening in Colorado
and vent out there, but a great many
people in Georgia believed it to be per
lectly practicable, and regretted that
the experiment was not made. Cor.
