PoIsoNED.--Our community was
startled on Saturday morning by
the announcement that Mr.. Chas. HI.
Hardy, Miss Alice South ,,(daughter
Of Mr.. Washington South) and two
children of Mr.. j. Ran. Taylor had
all been made i'll by drinking coffee
containing some deadly poison. DR..
Godfrey L. Miller was hastily sum-
moned and after assudious attentions
for several days We are pleased to
report has succeeded in dissipating
the distressing illness in each case,
and all are now convalescing. The
poison which is said to have been
arsenic, was placed in the coffee pot
evidently by some one whose identity,
it is hoped, time will disclose. The
many friends of Mr.. Hardy, Miss
South and the children congratulate
them on their narrow escape from
death and wish them speedy and en-
tire recovery to their accustomed
health. - Winchester Times.

Passed away March %, 1891. Lucy Mar
garet, daughter of James ID. Fulk, ani
wife of John A. Coils, aged "a years,
months and b.days.
Dear husband and children when gone,
And my aching breast is still;
Dear parents in my heavenly home
There my cup of joy to fill.
Sisters and brothers no need of signing,
When the evening shadows creep,
Dear friends no more weary watching,
Your Lucy is going to sleep.
Farewell to all, am at rest,
And shall forever be;
l could not stay with you on earth,
But you car come 20 me.
Our loved one has gone to rest
Beneath the tree of life;
She leans upon the Sayior's breast,
SO free from pain nd strife.
Our sisters troubles now are pas sed,
Her pain disturbs no more,
But Jesus in his arms at last
Bore her to the heavenly shore.
One by one earth's ties are broken,
As we see our love decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished;
Bright tens but to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter
As we near the shining shore;
For we know across the river,
Wait the loved ones gone before.

AT REST.


Departed this life on the morning of the
2qth of April 1891, William Wilen, aged
u years.
Mr.. Wilen was probably the best
known man in Berkeley County, from
the fact that his business of cabinet
maker and undertaking through
years of nearly three generations
brought him directly in contact with
the people. In his time he has burr
led of mortality at least as many as
now live in the town of Martinsburg
and thus into many many homes he
went and met the people in their
sore distress. Personally, we never
had better and truer friend and
we trust that in the friendship that
began almost in the early morning
of our life and continued until our
noon and his sunset, we have always
been grateful for his timely counsel
and aid. He was an honest man, a
christian, doing all the good he
could and meeting the trials that
come to all men in a manly christian
manner He was respected and
trusted by our people. He served
one term in the State legislature,
was member in good standing in
the Lutheran Church and of the
beneficial orders, he was well known
as a Mason and Odd Fellow. He
was hard worker and his duty has
been well performed, and our people
can well unite in praising his goodly
traits and holding him in kind re-
membrance as now in the order of
Providence he goes from labor to
rest. The funeral services will be at
the Lutheran Church this Saturday.
morning at 10 o'clock aud will be
participated in by the Masons and
Odd Fel.oxs.

GUIDE TO GOOD CLOTHING!

When you want to go to some place and
don't know the shortest end suresG way to
get there, you are glad to be directed, are
you not You are going somewhere to
buy clothing. You want to go to the best
place and the safest place. And that means
the place where the good treatment is not
confined to pleasant words and smooth
talk, but where it is put into the goods and
prices. Where shall you go to find that
place? That is an important question for
you. 1t touches your comfort as we'll as
your purse. When you can answer that
query in a manner satisfactory to your
self, you have got through with half the
business of buying and the worst half of
it. Let us lay before you some lnforma-
ton and leave you to answer the ques-
ton. Where can best clothe at the least
expense?
OF course you want style. Every man
does. Now, some people have the notion,
obtained by trading al second rate places,
that style is expensive. But it isn't. Not
at our store at least: Style has nothing to
do with price. Every garment we put out
carries style with it. Style goes into our
working clothes, just as well as into our
dress and business clothes. And it does
not cost any more to put it in. The skill
ed workman does his work skillfully. He
can't do better. Skilled workmanship goes
into every garment we sell. Skill shapes
the CLOTHES anu SIKH makes tuelu.
That is why they look well, hang we'll and
keep this shape, are a satisfaction to the
eye as well as the body. Tested by STYLE
our clothing takes the highest place. For
no clothing is superior to ours in this re-
spect.
No two alike in looks and shape That's a
fact that is stumbled BY many. who don't how
ready -made clothing be perfect fit. But what's
the good Of skill and science in human dress, if We're
to be Aoored by commonplace fact. The truth is that
the be classified by its type to nicely The
variation from the type few. Fit the type and lou
fit the class he represents That's how its done. The
suit is Perfect Fitting Ready made Clothing. That is of
course when you go where they sell only the best There
is readymade clothing thatdoesnt fit It's inferior in
manufacture. You can get only the BEST Of us.
But what's this best clothing going to cost? Now, we
relieve you OF anxiety that score in word, The
best clothes don't bit than notbest clothing.
And that is why, quality considered, offer our
high grade at as low figures are made anywhere.
That's all we have TO say going 10 urge you to
trade with usl Why. what inducements could we offer
you that would be eecual if the facts we've given you
not sufficient? But don't need TO urge. You want
good material and ft you want well made clothing in
good style. In short you want the best for the least
money and you plainly that the way TO get is &c
