NJ. MCINERNY.

Are we to be, or not to be,
a part of the Great Republic,
seems to be the burning ques-
ton of the day, and one we
had rather leave to wiser heads
than ours to solve; and while
great statesmen are wrestling
with this momentous question,
we want to have a little 'b07v-
7VO7v" with you on some other
that concern you as
well as ourselves.
Has it not occurred to you
that you've been wearing that
old hat long enough In these
progressive times if you intend
to be Sin it, you've got to keep
pace with fashion. No matter
how otherwise well dressed
you may be, unless your hat is
the correct thing you bear a
shabby appearance.
We have already laid in a
stock Of the Latest Hats of the
coming Spring and Summer
styles, in hard felts, soft felts
and straws, and including a line
OF the celebrated Fidora
Hats, at present all the rage in
the United States. There is
therefore, no necessity for you
to hang on any longer to that
old Tile that bears such
strong resemblance to the hat
your father wore"
Believing that business will
be better in the near future, we
have not hesitated to keep our
stock full in all lines. Take
collars for instance We have
almost everything you could
wish for. If You wear a stand
ling collar, just come in and
take a look at our "Narenta"
or "Ardonia :" or if you prefer
a turn down collar, try the
winnipeg" or "Goswell;" we
have have lots of others, and
can't fail to suit you. Cuffs in
abundance, links or otherwise.
Neckwear in profusion, scarfs
windsors Ain hands, and a
special lot of Boys Bows"
suspenders in great variety,
leather and woven ends, good
strong, serviceable goods.
We might go on indefinitely,
but space is valuable, and to
enumerate everything we carry
would fill a pretty fair sized
! Book. If there is anything
you want in the mems line,
just drop in and see US, and if
we can't suit you, we don't be-
lieve any one can.
If you should want a pair of
nice shoes, let us try hand at
fitting you. Did it ever occur
to you
How much a man is like his shoes;
For instance, both soul may lose.
Both have been tanned; Both are made
tight by Cobblers;
Both get left and right;
Both need mate to be complete;
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mould.
With shoes the last is first; with men
THE first shall be the last: and when

EMMETT as "FRITZ. g"

The Young Actors First Appearance
in Savannah Tonight.
J. z. Emmett will make his first appear
anoe In Savannah tonight In ''Fritz in
Ireland" A New York critic says of the
young actor in recent performance: 1t is
alike disadvantage and happy accident
to this young man to have been born the
son of his illustrious father. In the former
respect all his efforts must stand the test of
being submitted TO the most severe and rigid
criticism; as regards the latter condition.
he is surrounded by the halo Of his gifted
fathers prestige. and is the possessor Of q
name which is Synonymous with refinement
aud individuality in comedy methods. He
passes through the ordeal of critical scrutiny
with no evidence of embarrassment. or Of
being guided in his efforts by former rem
behring's of his clever specialties. In the
happy faculty of carrying his audience with
him from start to finish he is supremely
gifted. The Ernmets are still further gifted
in discovering and featuring" bright aud
pretty children. Little Baby Spencer. who
appears with "Fritz, "is both pretty and pre-
cocious, veritable ''infsnt phenomenon. :"

The Western Union Telegraph Company Re.
sumes FortnIghtly Payment. OF Salaries.
Ever since the passage OF the weekly pay
ment law by the Legislature OF 1890 the
Western Union Telegraph Company. with
other corporations. has paid it's employees
every week. and great was the surprise OF
these same employees when they were not-
fed on Saturday that their ne 1t pay day would
be Oct. !. and that the company had returned
to its former system. paying on the LIST and
18th Of every month. Some operators and
others who prefer to get their money weekly
have questioned tho right Of the corporation
to make the change, and have suggested that
eral Superintendent Humstone said yes
only reason for the change is the great bother
and extra work made necessary by weekly
payments. The corporation had been informed
that the law was not applicable to its
salaried employees. and therefore it had made
the change. Such unsalaried laborers as it
has in its employ. or such as come within the
provisions Of the law. will he paid every week.
