Special to tie sgrade.

We have the pleasure TO announce
new departure for the purchase
Of onr stock. in order to enable ia
to quote lower prices than others
who buy on long time and ask big
prices in these days of panic ard
hard times.
Big prices will not do in these
times when even the wealthy can
not afford TO waste their money
and the poor require double duty of
every dollar and every penny.
What is the use of wasting. a
dollar when You can save it7 Who
can tell the waste of money when
You get your goods of houses that
buy and sell on long time7 Thus
we are fighting against the old
credit system for reputation and
the people.
AS prices change with every pnr-
chase. it will be impossible 10 give
quotations, but it will he our aim
TO name figures that will compel
you in self defence to buy of MS.
We will give in exchange anything
in stock or refund money for all
goods bought from us not giving
perfect satisfaction. If you think
this fair offer then look over our
quotations:

HEkRICO-COURT MATTERS.
A Special Grand Jury to Investigate the
Suiiy Case.

Suliy tase.
There was the usual Saturday crowd at
the county courthouse yesterday, but
news items were very scarce. There were
no meetings of any importance, and the
sovereiens whiled away the time discuss
ing politics and crops. The fact that the
Governor on Friday offered a reward for
the arrest and conviction OF the murderer
of Mox Rosdeitcher served 10 slightly re-
vive interest in that case, which has been
in a rather comatose state for the last few
weeks.
Judge Wexford. of the Circuit Court,
was present for short while, but no cases
of public concern were brought to his at
tentlon.
The County Court meets on Monday.
but so Jar as can be seen there will he very
little business before il. There has been
no grand jury summoned, but it is likely
that Judge Minor will order O special one
to investigate the case of Tom Sully,
charged With the murder of young Ros-
deitcher. Sully was the first of four per-
sons arrested in this case. and after being
in jall for about two months was released
on bail at the last term of the court. 1t
was pretty generally conceded then that
there was not sufficient evidence to secure
his indictment, and 1t Is quite certain that
the commonwealth case has not been
strengthened since then.
Mr. Harris Jacobs yesterday requested
the DiSDdich 10 state that he viii give $3.50
in addition 10 the 800 reward offered by
the Governor for the arrest and conviction
of the person who murdered the young
peddler. Mr.. Jacobs IA the administrator
of Rosdeitcher's estate, and IL was at his
request that the reward was offered.

A Card.

It is known all over the world that doc
tors will differ, but we believe n every
doctor in Richmond would permit rs to
drive them all over River View and make q
close, personal inspection. they would say
the land is higher than old Richmond. the
natural drainage perfect. The water sup
ply. now from wells Of pure soft water. but
when our addition is built up the supply
will then be from the river. thus removing
ali danger Of water contamination caused
by compact building of houses. Can an
other addition to Richmond offer such
water supply when it is built up? We
think not. We further add that our doc
tors. after they have inspected River View.
must admit there is no good reason why
River View should not be as healthy as
CANDLES or Libby Hill, or any part of
Richmond. Do not let parties who are in
terested IN other additions to our city de-
ceIve you with all sorts of tales about tho
health Of River View. Call on us. and we
will drive you. your wife, and YOUR doctor
all over River View. and convince You that
this addition Is perfect as to elevation.

Tomorrow we take up the running

interest for you to know that we were
crowded all this week-none whatever I;
but il will interest you TO know that We
open very many novelties, notably in our
Cloak Department, which will tickle the
toughest fancy. Down in this latitude,
where viyscious Virginians will not DO
bundled up and buried in cumbersome
over garments, we rather make a point
of picking up what is prettiest than
piling up. for the sole delectation OF
flannel-mouthed moths, Lake Superior
styles that suit rather the Italian peanut
vender than the Richmond belle. No
grandmother garments doing duty on
our counters We buy only what we
can sell at sight. Price is a secondary
consideration with us in Capes' and
Cloaks. We get just what our trade calls
or-desirability having the floor every
time. Thus equipped we stand on the
threshold of Mr.. John Frost-all ready
to walk in.
