GONE AFTER THEM
AGAIN

Our buyer left Thursday morning for
Cincinnati and other markets for our
second shipment of Spring and Sum
mer goods. Look out for some bar
gains in a day or two. They are surely
coming. Goods we'll bought are halt
sold. In order to obtain bargains there
are three things necessary: First, to
know how; second, to know when ;
third, co have the wherewithall. Our
buyer is well equipped with all three of
these requisites. This is the season
when jobbers and manufacturers are
anxious to unload, aud will do so at a
big sacrifice for the CASH. He is going
at the right time, with the money and
experience. So watch out for some big
ones, they will be in on time; especial
ly in the clothing and carpet depart
ments, which two lines he goes to re-
plenish. In the meantime if YOU need
anything come around, we already
have bigger stock than anybody else
and are selling cheaper than the cheap

Burned With Fire From Heaven.

Among the relics at the capitol is
an old book in the Office of the Sec
retary of State.
1t contains the original laws
framed by the Legislature in 1886,
when it was in session at Louisville,
then the capital of Georgia. Tho
pages from COZ to 622 have been
cut from the book, and in tho vacant
place resolution ordering them
removed is pasted.
These missing pages were the
records of Abe acts of the House
and Senate in the famous Yazoo
fraud matter, and when they were
thrown out they were burned with
fire drawn down from heaven thro'
a sun glass by Governor jackson.
The old book could tell many
stirring stories were it gifted with
the power of speech.-Ahanta Jour

The Simple Truth About the PuzzlinB Con-
duct OF Some Brooklyn Cats.
The rear yards in the neighbor-
hood Of Ninth street and Sixth ave
nue., Brooklyn, are a favorite resort
for an astonishing number of cats.
1t is residence locality, and so quiet
that the cats have no difficulty in
hearing themselves and one another
when they lift up their voices. The
fences are usually picketed with cats,
and nobody paid much attention to
them until doctor looking out of
his rear Office window the other day
saw thing that surprised him.
A well behaved tabby was picking
her way daintily along the fence of
tho adjoining yard when she sudden
ly floated upward with all four legs
extended horizontally. She rose per-
haps yard or little more, came to
stop, and then fell out of sight on
the farther side of the fence. The
doctor had been casually observing
cats whenever he glanced out Of the
window, but he never before had
seen cat levitate just as this one
had. Heput it down az manifesto
ton of feline eccent1icity and thought
no more about it until, glancing out
of the window a few minutes later,
he saw a cat of another color poised
in the air with outstretched legs di-
rectly over the spot from which the
other cat had ascended.
His eye had caught the cat at the
moment of equipoise, and he saw her
descend out of sight as did the first
cat. The doctor wns interested. The
usual professions of cats were NOV
ing along the fences, and he remained
at the window. AS often as a cat
came to the spot to which his atten-
ton was directed the animal arose
from all fcurs simultaneously, as each
of the others had done. and the doc
tor abandoned his hastily formed the
ory of individual feline eccentricity.
He saw cat after cat perform this lev
itation act, some falling on one side
of the fence and some on the other,
and then he put on his hat and start
ed out to investigate.
There really was no mystery about
it Mr. Harry Pierce lives next to
the doctor, and when he is not buy.
ing goods in Europe or selling them
in America he becomes an amateur
electrician for recreation only. He
has an arrangement of wires leading
to the backyard fence, end when he
wants to turn on the fountain of cats
he presses the button. New York
