ter caught the minion OF the law by
the arm, screaming and making quite
a scene. but the prisoner was finally

sentaiives of the Baltimore aud Ohio
Railroad Company who desire TO build
a depot in the square bounded by Duke,

Intersection of Wolfe and Union streets,
and TO lay its tracks across the Strand

tax of 500 on express companies in adj
dition to the taxation upon their prop
erty in the city, as is done in Lynch
burg and other places. The ordinances
relating to the railroad were referred to
the committee on streets with instruc-
tons to report at called meeting next

Another word to the good people of Alex
andria. To those who were wise enough to give
us q call and to inspect the offerings we have
been making for the last few weeks, it is need
less for us to say anything in the way OF ex-
planstion Of what we are doing. Our bar
gains are more convincing than columns OF
argument and our prices more eloquent than
mere words. But to those who are shy and
back ward and who are suspicious OF sales
gotten upnow and then by merchants TO boom
business, we desire to say a few words to-day.
In the first place We want You TO under
stand that this is no fake" selling out. 1t
isn't done for pleasure, and it isn't done for
profit. Stern necessity caused the institution
of this sale Stern necessity fixed the prices.
Stern necessity again demands cut iii prices
regardless of the value. cost and desirability
of the Goods, Wares and Merchandise we have
still on hand
The law says that this estate must be speed
lily wound up, and wind up is the word even
if we have to practically give the goods away.
Now, if we have convinced you that this is
bona fide clearing out, and have gained
enough of your confidence to have you be-
ieve that our object is TO get rid of the goods
We have at any prices, we will, for tho pur-
pose of convincing those who have not visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE that
we offer the bargains of lifetime, quote
some prices VIC have made on popular and de-
sirabe goods. Figures We know, don't lie, so
We will let them speak for themselves. Look
over our list carefully, and if you SEQ anything
you want, cut ont the advertisement, and put
you finger on the article and come to U.S. and
you will get the stuff exactly as advertised.
To our numerous friends who have been in to
see us so often lately, we desire to say only
that this picnic can't last much longer. Make
hay while the sun shines. Our loss is your
gain. A word TO the wise is sufficient.
