He Died as Does the Swan.

He Died as Does the Swan.
A peculiarly pathetic incident
marked the closing of the life Of
Alonzo E. Stoddard, the well.known
Boston baritone, who died with ty-
phoid iever. As lie lay on his cot in
the hospital breathing his last. o
sudden inspiration seemed to revivi-
fy him, and to the wonder of oil, he
sat upright in his couch and began
to sing in his familiar. robust voice
oue of his favorite operate solos.
He never sang with more feeling or
with more beauty of tone. The song
was sung from beginning to end, the
last notes died away, and just as
Shey ended the singer fell back in his
bed, dead.-Peoria Transcript.

THE BEST SHOES.
WHERE CAN THEY BE FOUND I
This is an all Important Question
that Necessarily Must be Con. Z
sidered by Every Citizen 's q.
When in Need of
Footwear. ~.
THE WRITER GIVING HIS OWN IDEAS.

People in this vicinity, as we'll
as in every other section of the
country, wear shoes, and the reader
would be surprised if we would give
the aggregate figures of the number
of pairs of shoes manufactured in
the United States annually, thereby
showing the number of pairs worn
by the people. But it is not the
quantity of shoes that are worn in
these United States, or to bring it
down closer-in Marietta-but the
superior qualities and where they
can be found, that are of interest to
our people; hence We desire to make
a few remarks applying to this ques-
ton. ~
When you are in need OF good
pair of shoes, do not allow yourself
to believe the advertisements of
dealers who claim to have the larg-
est stock i'll town, and try to impress
you with the idea that hence, from
them only can the best shoes be had.
Again, do not insist on wearing
the same make of shoes your grand
fathers and grand-mothers wore, as
this progressive age has brought out
many shoes by other manufacturers
far superior to those of years gone
by. There have been great num-
Der of improvements made in ma
chinery to perfect the manufacture
of shoes.
We would also state thst it would
be wise for you to make a proper Sc
lection as to "The Dealer" that
shall receive your patronage, that
the same shall have thorough
knowledge of shoesin every particu-
lar. The non-experienced "Shoe
Dealer" having no real knowledge
of the "shoe industry" cannot be
relied on, neither as to quality,
style or price. These three things
are of the greatest Importance to
every purchaser, consequently we
repeat that it would be wise for you
to mske proper selection as to the
dealer that shall receive your pat
ronage. While admitting that 9TH
er dealers have large quantities and
perhf ps some good qualities of shoes
in their stores, tue firm of Schlesin-
ger, Page & Co., ("The Enterprise, y
