We've Taken
"A Stand

In your defense for worth against worthlessness-
in defense OF honest quality at an honest puce-
against the treachery OF cheapness that seeks to
blind you against its imperiectons with the glitter
of dazzling bargains. Every force in the great
business-capital, experience, earnestness, enter
prise, consistency-are enlisted in a crusade against
shoddy-against Misrepresentation against lax
isnl-against the wolfsh greed that preys upon the
confidence OF the people, whose only ambition is to
unite your purse strings, whose shortsightedness
sees no future-we're waging campaign OF edu-
cation. Our advertisements are lessons in value
discernment in price conception. Where all is
fair and square there's nothing to hide.
They praise the perfection and shun the shams
that stalk under the disguise OF trade disasters and
kindred metaphors. They preach this stores sin
cerity-tell its honest story plainly, for the facts
need no decoration, the truth no decoy. The cold
weather will soon be with US, and an Overcoat will
be necessity. We have them in every dependable
grade and style. A good Blue or Black KerseY
Overcoat at $685. An elegant strictly All Wool
Kersey Raw Edge Overcoat at $780, Our special
Gayrock Overcoat, strictly All Wool, guaranteed
all satin sleeve lining, double warp Italian lined, in
Blue Black, Brown and Tan, at $1,000 At$12oo,
$500, $1,000 and $4,000 we show line of Ker-
seys, Chinchllas, Melons, Montagnacs, Wicunas,
&c, for which your merchant tailor will ask you
double our price. Come in and see them, try them
on, take them home, and if you'd rather have your
money, its here for you for the asking.

HIS WIFE WAITED.-Richard Harris,
of Petersburg, two years ago shot anG
KILLED Buck Mallory, widely-known
sporting man, on the street in that city
in the night. There had long been .
feud between the men. After a long
and closely contested trial, Harris was
convicted and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary. He so conducted himself that
several mouths were taken off his seu-
tence for good behavior. On Monday
his term expired, and he was set free.
Harris, not long before the commission
of the crime, had been married to a
beautiful girl. The uutoward event,
for which be was not altogether to
blame, prevented the young couple
from going on their bridal tour. The
young wife remained faithful to her
husband through the months he spent
10 the penitentiary, going to see him
whenever possible. On Monday morn
ing when Harris came forth from the
penitentiary free man, he was greet
ed by his wife. The pair took north
bound train at quarter before niue
O'Clock over the Richmond, Ere dericks
burg and Potomac Railroad for bridal
trip, which will last some weeks. Har
ris has many warm friends in Peters
burg, who believe that he was forced TO
shoot Mallory in self defense.
