TH E BAHTHS.

We again have the pleasure to
communicate to our people of the
continued advancements of one of
our best mercantile houses, which
is ever ready to forward the inter-
est of their many valuable friends
and customers. This house, we
are proud to say, is that of Joe &
Vic Barth, the clothiers and furn.
ishers. Their efforts for this sea-
son are greater than ever-not
alone in quality and prices, but
also styles, keeping the best makes
of their line that are manufactured
in this and foreign countries.
While you can get better class
of goods from this popular estab-
lishment, you certainly need not
pay the advance prices, as their
purchases are On large scale.
These gentlemen, the Barths, go
into the market representing seven
different houses, and as Mr.. Joe
Barth says, the reduction which
they get from the manufacturers the
people get the direct benefit, and
it is that which makes these houses
successful as dealers-letting their
customers have the full benefit oi
their low prices.
The variety of mems clothing,
all sizes, slim and extra, and boys
clothing, is certainly in full bloom,
and the nobbiest that can be select.
ed; also their chiIdren's supplies
are better than anything ever shown
in this section.
We must not fail to mention their
great assortment Of shirts, consist.
ing of the best ever put on the
market, also every new fabric
neckwear, hoisery, etc., all oi
which are pleasing and interesting
to the critical eye, and it costs you
nothing to see and examine them
We can bespeak this, that Joe
& VIC Barth carry as full line al
| any house in the large cities, &c
you need never seek further te
make your future purchases, for, q.
stated before, this house can save
you money.
Their assistants are of the best
which will be ever ready, witt
their patient attention, to extene
TO you cordial welcome.

Hon. Richard Dalton, of Saver

did entertain the idea of going to

joy being shelved in that way,
particularly If the people of the
State show a large amount Of
unanimity on the question of his

General Evan Shelby Pindall,
who died last week at the residence
of J. N. Ball, in Audrain County,
was one of the oldest and most res
pected citizens of this section of the
State.
He was born December 5, 1901,
in Morgantown, Monongahala Coun.
ty, W. Va. He was a grandson of
General Evan Shelby, for whom he
was named. His occupation was
farming and stock-raising. He in
herited the old "Pindall home
stead" at that time the most de-
sirable farm in MonongahaIa coun.
ty. The Pindall family was among
the most prominent in that portion
of the State. "Jim" Pindall, the
celebrated criminal lawyer, repres-
ented his district in Congress for a
number of years. The family were
noted for their military record.
His grandfather was at Washington
at Braddock's defeat his father
served the last years as an officer
in the Revolutionary War, and he,
himself, served as Captain and
Colonel in both infantry and cav
airy. He was commissioned in
1880 Brigadler- General of the Vir-
ginia State militia, which position
he resigned IN 1852, when he re.
moved to Missouri. General Buck
ner Fairfax, of Preston county,
Virginia, was his successor.

ONE of our sensible exchanges,
talking about things in general,
says: "The $50, a,0oO,O 600 a year
which the people will save on
sugar will be a grand argument for

Yet how much grander the argu-
ment would be If they could save
several times $50, ,0W, 900 on their
clothing, farm machinery, hard.
ware, tools, nails, etc, etc., which
Republican statesmanship has

The Richmond Democrat relates
the following duck story: "a
hunter got after a gang of didapeI
ducks in the lake. These birds are
said to be able to dodge a bullet.
The hunter shot away all his car
tridges without hitting a duck.
When the didapers saw puff Of
smoke from the gun, they would
dive before the shot reached them,
The hunter was determined not to
be outdone, so he lit a cigar and
began to puff as fast as he could
In this way he kept the ducks un.
der water until he drowned the en-,
tire flock.

Perhaps / ought to say q word
about the companions young man
should CHOOSE for himself in life.
You should try to make compan-
ions of the best people you can be-
come acquainted with. In order
to do this you must have something
in yourself that may be a return to
them for what they give you. Itis
not necessary for this purpose, to
be genius, or have a remarkable
intellect, or extraordinary erudi-
ton. But, be yourself and a man,
and learn to think of others before
yourself, and you will have friends
enough, and of the best. To be in
innate with the msgnanimous and
the noble aids to form those quail
ties in oneself. A man is known
by the company he keeps, and
those who know what friends you
have will be able to form q very
correct guess of what you yourself
are. You should see to it that
his estimate be as high as your op-
portunities may secure.
But perhaps I cannot better sum
up my advice to your people than
to say that I have derived, and
still find, the greatest pleasure in
my life in doing good to others.
Do good constantly, patiently and
wisely, and you will never have
cause to say that your life was not
worth living.
