Decoration Day

Will find us with the biggest assortment of blue and black suits ever placed on sale. Remembering well how big the demand was last year for these goods we have pre- pared ourselves this year to suit one and all with the latest styles of Spring and Summer clothing at remarkably low prices. We exceedingly regret our inability to wait upon all who crowded our store last Saturday night. the rush having been so great that our capacity was taxed to its fullest extent. Why do we meet with such wonderful success? Here are some of the reasons: People have found out that clothing bought from us wears well and looks the best, they are convinced it is more convenient to pay for their clothes by the week than to pay spot cash. and being we'll satisfied with the dealings they had with us before. they have enough faith in us to recommend us to their friends as well. Our specialties this season are the making of pants to order of all the latest novelties, and selling Dress Goods for ladies at popular prices.

CUSTOM DYING OUT.

Not az Many Valentines Sent Now a.
There We're Ten Years Ago.
The postofice gentlemen tell Us that
they can now look st. Valentine In the
face without apprehension. They find
It possible to take sustenance on the day
dedicated to the saint, and rhe letter
carriers do not fall down exhausted on
the mail bags. Ten or twelve years ago
the day was a continuous struggle on the
part of all concerned to perform impossi-
bilities.
At present st. Valentines Is very
busy day, indeed, but the work can be
done without distress. As the custom
of sending valentines has declined, that
of sending Christmas cards has amazing
" increased, until the largest postofhces
receive and distribute millions o. them
during the twenty-four hours preceding
Christmas noon. The mighty London
Office has had to deal with fifteen mill
ions of Christmas parcels, packets and
letters, including three tons of registered
merchandise.
It is supposed that much of the loving
correspondence of st. Valentine has been
transferred to Christmas, which comes
two months earlier. This is the opinion
of the postofice clerks, who seem to think
that the mail-producing faculty OF man
is limited, and that what Christmas has
gained must have been subtracted from
st. Valentine.
It is more probable that the abuse OF
the privilege of being silly on the day
consecrated to that saint has caused a re
action and made people ashamed to toir
the throng of valentines more foolish thar
fond. True lovers, however, will know
how to avail themselves of the opportuni
ties the day affords. and we may ne surf
that St. Valentine will continue to on
one of the most popular saints In the cal
endar.-Philadelph Times.

Possibly Had One.

A Georgia cattle buyer, who Is also a
good Presbyterian, was somewhat sur
prised recently to find out how utterly
unknown In a certain part of the Cohut-
IA mountains was the good old Presby-
terrain Church. 1t Is said that he had
stopped at a humble cabin home, and
during the absence of the man of the
house was negotiating with the old
woman for the purchase Of a COW. In
the course Of the conversation he re-
marked to her that she lived very far
hack in the mountains. She replied:
"Yes, but a leetle fudder up the ROAD
thar's several other families"
Wondering what religious faith might
be here, he inquired if there were any
Presbyterians about there.

Win she pierce my heart so, through and

For one gains with love, and loses.

Valentine when on earth told their chill

Do not, then, despise the little bit of

is the one which plays most sweetly upon
the heartstrings Of all. In the postofice

Valentines are provid ed for all. Like

found in every style and every variety.
Beautiful valentine souvenir spoons are
seen, and they are out of the ordinary
run of spoons, in that the end of the han

chase each other around the twisted wire
of which the handle is formed. In the
bowl of the spoon fancy letters give forth
the legend, 1.-The Saint of Love-" and
upon the reverse of the bowl there are
engraved the initials of her who gives
the spoon and her who takes it.
