The First Thing
To Remember

/ am in business TO make money.
But don't expect to get rich this
year or next go on these principles:
Make mans clothes iit perfectly
Give him a cloth little better than
you tell him it is.
Don'tput the price any higher than
il ought TO be.
The best part Of this plan Is that
yoi customer comes back every time
he wants clothes, aud senda his friends
trsund, too. That IS the way | hope
TO make money

WANTS DAMAGES.

Seaboard Air Line Has Made n
Mistake.
BY special wire to the Sunday Light.
Atlanta, Ga, June 20.-John II.
Winder has brought suit for 100000
damages against President r. G.
Hoffman and other directors of the
Seadbaro Air Line railroad and had
the county sheriff attach the private
car of President Hoffman and chained
to the tracks. Later bond was given,
the ear released and the president
and party of directors left for Ports
mouth.
At n meeting of directors of the
Seaboard Belt railroad here Mr.. Win
der was deposed as president and Mr..
Hoffman elected.
The action for libel is based on a
resolution of the directors charging
him indirectly with Incorporating
$4,000 while he was general man
ager of, the Seaboard Air Line. He
denies the charge and produced can
celled checks showing the charge was
based on a clerical error.

THE JEANNETTE CROSS.

But she was led to believe that congress
might erect something that would more
adequately emphasize the glory of the
dead. Individual senators and congress-
men even assured her their aid in push
ing the matter. Her friends advised her
to Wait. And there the matter rested
for IL years. ...
So it happens that at the present mo-
ment there are only seven pathetically
unnamed mounds in that beautiful
Woodlawn lot to mark the spot where
lie the great hearts that beat flo more.
1t seemed pity that the bodies had
ever been disinterred from the spot in
the Lena delta, where their discoverer,
Chief Engineer George w. Melville, had
inferred them in March, 1882. This was
a rude, but a splendid and appropriate
sepulcher for Arctic heroes. On the
summit Of Monument hill, solid rock
800 feet high, he dug q grave, And
above that grave he placed gigantic
wooden Cross, inscribed with their
names.
Better almost, it seemed, TO have left
