IT'S A GOOD THING

/ sometimes for most of the
clothing stores that consumers
as a rule know so little about
clothes.
Not one pair of eyes in a
dozen sees beyond q fairly good
finish on the outside Of the
garment. Yet most of the
worth of a coat is beyond.
Put your hand between the
outside cloth and the Innings of
any Of our Goats. See the stays
to keep the pockets in shape,
see the linen cloth between the
edges of the coat, to keep the
button. holes in shape, and TO
prevent the edges from crink-
ling all up. See how nice the
collars are put on, how close
to the neck it will hug you,
buttoned or unbuttoned, and
yet, our prices are always lower
than inferior made clothes OF
the other stores.

The Eartn's Swift Motion.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on
it's axis once in each twenty four
hours. But, few, however, have
any idea of the high rate of speed
at which such an immense ball
must turn in order to accomplish
the feat of making ono revolution
in dny and night. a graphic idea
of tho terrific pace which tho old
earth keeps up year after year may
be had by comparing its speed to
that of a cannon ball fred from a
modern high pressure gun. The
highest velocity ever attained by
such missile has been estimated at
,626 feet per second, which is equal
to a milo in three and two.tenth
seconds. The earth, in making one
complete revolution in tho short
space of twenty four hours, must
turn with a velocity almost exactly
equal to that of cannon ball. In
short, it's rate of speed at the equa-
tor is exactly 1907 feet per second.
This is equal to mile every three
and six.tenths seconds, IL miles a
minute.

Tie Safe OF Mr.. ID. $. Snyder, the Gro
Ger and Express Agent Robbed.
Since Wednesday morning, we
have known that tho safe in Mr.. D.
S. Snyder's store room had been
robbed, but we kept it out of the
papers that tho guilty party might
be discovered.
Tho facts are these, early We'd
nesday when the store room and
Office of tho express were opened
up, it was discovered that someone
had opened tho safe, and on ok
animation showed that $99.1O in
cash had boon extracted therefrom
Tho person who did the robbing
was in possession of the combina
ton, no doubt, as the safe or lock
did not show that there had been
any tampering with it.
Officers Smith and Foglesong i'm
mediatoly took up tho case, and
they have man under suspicion
and are closely Watching all his
movements, and a startling arrest
will no doubt be made in few

bled undor the hospitable roo. OF
Mrs. Permelia Lemaster, in honor
of the birthday of hor Oldest and

Around tho table which was laden

friends who had not met for many
years. Mr.. Perry Ritchie, of Leba-
non, Ind, who left our little noun
tain State some seventeen years

Perry Lemaster, Mr.. VIM. Hawk
ins, Mr.. and Mrs. 81. A. Meek, to-
gether with tho family, did ample
Justice to a repast which did credit
to tho ladies who prepared it. The
meeting of the three cousins who
played together as boys was as
pleasant as it was unexpected. AS
tho shades of evening closed in, the
littlo party dispersed, with many
kind wishes that the Squire might
many times remember his friends
on the 29th of December and never
grow older. MEMO.
