No COrns With Lyons Shoes.

We often hear people complain of corns
on their feet. In my twenty years ex-
perience in measuring feet l find that
ABOUT one in twenty, although the same
length. will not measure the same width
as the eighth of an inch makes big diff
ference. The shoe must fit uniformly; if
not the pressure is TOO much on one part
of the foot, and that part is sure to ache
and that part of the shoe is first to break.
1t seems unreasonable to think that feet
with same length vary SO much in width,
can get fit in the so.called store shoe.
II you want good fitting, comfortable
shoe, please call on JOHN LYONS, shoe
maker if be has none in his store to fit
he will take your measure and have
made to order any shoe or style, Guar
antees satisfaction, or no charge.

There was big chicken fight between
Hagerstown & Martinsburg sports at
Bedington last week. tits a cruel sport,
as unchristian and uncivilized as the
Mexican bull fights. The law should
be enforced and the officers held ac-
countable by the grand jury. The
HagerstoWn Mail thus describes the
light
The handlers are the men who
tend to the cocks, gatfing and cutting
them. First the men assemble around
the pit which is generally about
twenty feet across. Then after pIac,
ing the gaffs on the chickens the hand
lers hold them and when the umpire
gives the word the cocks are thrown
to the pit. The gaffs are long steel
weapons and as sharp as needle, and
generally three inches long. In a
tight recently in New York one cock
was GATED in the head and lost an
eye, the next lunge his was broken,
then another wing, then lost both
legs but tried to fight without legs or
wings.
The first Hagerstown cock was a
Spangle and Martinsburg threw into
the ring blue cock. At the first
jump the Hagerstown bird GATED the
other bird, and at the third blow gaff.
ed it in head winning the fight.
The next was a dominick for Ha-
gerstown and a black for Martinsbury.
The birds, the finest that were thrown
in the ring, had long and hard fight,
the cocks being handled three times,
Martinsburg's cock won by a thrust
in the head of the cock from Hagers-
town.
The last fight was large red bird
for Hagerstown and big spangle
from Martinsburg. This was the
pluckiest struggle of them all and both
birds showed strong fight. The first
gaff was gained by the Hagerstown
bird and the gaffs caught so that the
birds had to be pulled apart. AT the
next jump the Martinsburg bird
caught it again. They were again
handled and after good deal of spur
ring the Hagerstown cock with a
strong leap caught the Martinsburg
bird and he was taken out of the ring
dead.
This ended the fight and the money
changed hands. The money was $40
side and $50 for the main.
