A practical woman in Oconee conn-
ty remarked the other day that the
interesting things in newspaper to
her are the advertising columns.
"And long ago." said she. II quit

tise It always seems to me that the
merchant who advertises invites me
to trade with him, while the one who
does not advertise impresses me with
the idea that he doesn't care enough
for my trade and is too stingy to ask
me for it Then. too, l know that
the merchant who advertises has
fresher goods for the reason, sup

Summer Story and the Interest Which
the Wheeling Public Has In It.

Story anu tDe interest winch
the Wheeling Public Has In It.
On one of those hot days last July.
when the average person was seeking
a summer resort, well known Wheel
ing business man was seen boarding a
train for New York. The man was
the buyer for the we'll known jewelry
firm of Shelf Bros. and his mission
was not one of pleasure, but that by
taking advantage of She unusual dull
ness prevailing at that time, he might
secure more than the ordinary bar
gains to lay before the Wheeling pub
lie. He did secure the bargains. Spot
cash always talks, and it talks loudest
during duh times Shelf Bros. always
buy for spot cash. Their buyer is a
dealer of long experience, and spot
cash and good business Judgment
secure bargains. That is the cause Oh
the extremely low prices Shelf Bros
are now prepared to quote on a mag
nifcaEt line of jewelry, china and
silTeTware. selected especially for the
Wheeling trade. The secret of Shelf
Bros success is:
First-They buy right
Socond-They sell at close margins
ThiTd-Their goods are absolutely
reliable.
II is all the same whether you buy a
$1,000 diamond or ten cent thimble.
Their guarantee is back Of everything
they sell Their stock this season is
larger than ever before. and old Gus
toners and new ones will find induce
ments in il greater than offered at any
other store in the city.

Remarkable Success Of : Now Pile Cure.
People who have suffered for years
or months from the pain and inc0n-
veniencs of that common disorder,
piles, will look with skepticism upon
discovery for cure of all forms of piles,
known under the name Of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordln-
airy cures performed by this remedy
are such as ito warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer. AS case in
point the following letter speaks for
itself:
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of sub-station
No. 8, Hosack Ave-, Columbus Ohio,
writes as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.
Gentlemen want you to use my
name if it will be of any use to you.
| was SO bad with the piles that los.
work on that account. Nothing did
me any good. l read in Cincinnati OF
the many cures of piles by the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure and / went to drug
store and asked for it. The drug clerk
tod me that he had something else
that he thought was better, but l told
y
first
The first box helped me so much that
| tried another, and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, max
ing four in ALL | am now completely
cured Have not a trace of piles ano
had suffered for four years with the
worst form of protruulng piles.
| suffered death from piles, but l
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented. l have recon-
mended it to several of my friends
and | am thankful to be able to write
you what good the remedy has done
for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no
opium, cocaine, or mineral poison of
any kind, and because it is safe and
pleasant to use, being painless and ap-
piled at night. The patient is cured
in a surprisingly short time with no
inconvenience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is well
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, Is constipa
ton is very often the cause of piles
and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition Price of pills rs
cents per package.
Write to Pyramid Drug Co., Albion,
Mich, for little book on cause and cure
of piles; It by mail free.

private letter received from Spanish
Fork Yesterday relates the details of a
row which occurred there a short time
ago, which resulted very seriously for one
of the parties. Seth Frost and his broth
er-in-law, ALT Taylor, had a great old
mix-uD. with the result that Seth is in
bed. minus a good portion of his scalp.
while ALI is in jail charged with an at
tempt at murder.
Taylor's wife is sick and Seth came
down to see her. After the visit he in
formed Taylor that he CTaylor) was re-
sDonsible for her ailment. and in order
to show the brotherly love and affection
he had for his relative by marriage, he
took him by the neck and choked him
into state of partial paralysis.
ALT was aggrieved and going up town
he accumulated a good sized jag, dug up
the tomahawk, put on his war paint and
endeavored to buy a gun. No one would
munion with himself he decided a knife
would do as well and accordingly pur-
chased one He then went home and slept
off his load.
Coming down next morning he met Seth
In saloon and went inside. There wasn't
any particular amount of conversation in
dulged in, but the mfX-up was something
terrific Taylor rushed TO get d stiff
right-hand punch in the eye, which dam
aged It so it was no good for use for
the time being while his cheek was cut
gered him somewhat. but he was game
and coming to the scratch ran his other
eye into similar blow. from which he
had not recovered when his doughty
brother-in-law upper-cut him and knocked
him into a state of collapse. He lay on
the floor for a minute or so and then
got u again to be f1oored once more
This time Seth drove his brogans into
him quite gently and made his head look
like It had been immersed in analine
dye. After welting his relative until he
thought he could stand more Frost
planted his heel in his face a couple of
times and started away.
But 1t wasn't to be. Taylor hadn't
knife. concealed it in his hand and when
they toed the scratch Seth's feint. fol-
lowed by a hard Highlander. was neatly
ducked and before Frost could recover,
Taylor struck him on the head with the
knife and cut a slice from his hair farm
nearly foot long.
1t was then that Seth showed the white
feather. for he turned tail and ran like
a deer. But Taylor camped right on his
trail and when Seth attempted to jump
a fence and fell then Big Chief ALT con-
tinued his whiting. 1t would have gone
hard with Frost had not bystanders in
terfered and disarned his antagonist
When Frost was examined he had five !
Or six cuts in his head anywhere from |
0ne to three inches in length, three or |
and divers others of minor importance on |
other portions of his body.
Taylor was arrested and sent to Jail |
while Frost was sent to bed. A trial will !
be had as soon as Frost gets well enough |
