Sensible
Nursing Bottle.

The common, everyday nurs-
ing bottle is built on a poor plan.
1t has but one opening. Through
this the milk is admitted, and
from it, through nipple, the
child struggles to get it out. The
law of physics cannot be ignored
even in so simple a thing as a
nursing bottle The vacuum left
by the milk must be filed. The
nipple collapses, and to relieve
this the child stops feeding for a
moment. Air rushes into the
bottle. The child starts feeding
again, and repeats the perform
ance until the contents are taken.
The "Best Nurser" is made on
a novel plan. A valve in the
bottom of the bottle admits air
as the contents are taken. The
child feeds easily, without any
danger of wind collie; no collaps-
ing nipple, no worrying, crying
infant. Price % cents.

CAN
YOU

Sell me a Diamond as cheaply
as can get one from the
States? This is a question we
are often asked. We answer:
Yes, we not only can; but we
do.
We have had many oppor-
tunities for comparison, and
we have never found that our
prices suffered by such COM
parison.
The trouble is that too many
people take too much for grant
ed. They believe that such and
such is the case, and do not
take the trouble to look care
fully into the matter.
How often do you find that
by staying at home, you could
have done

Now, what is the value Of a
Diamond?
Anywhere from $50 to $500
per Karat.
Do you know the difference?
We do, and that's the reason
we know how to buy and how
to sell.
Our stock contains many fine
specimens of gems, and we tell
you just what we know to be
the truth.

A White Babe Causes Trouble.

A most interesting case was tried in
the Mayors Court at Manchester, Va
and the decision was as surprising as
we're the facts brought out.
Mrs. Sarah Johnson, colored, was
charged with leaving an infant expos
ed in the street.
1t seems that an unmarried white
female, named Mollie Clayton gave
birth TO a child, whose father was nam
ed Cleaton.
1t appears that he sent her to reside
in Manchester. Va.
The mother of the child endeavored
to place the Nhole affair on the colored
woman who had been employed to
place the child at the door of white
family.
The child's mother and the Cleaton's
denied all knowledge of the affair,
but the handwriting in the note was
found to be that of Mrs Cleaton's.
Mollie Clayton finally admitted that
the infant was her child,
Mrs. Sarah Johnson was fined $50
and Mollie Clayton ard Mrs. Cleaton
were charged with being accessories.
rhe colored woman took an appeal
and was bailed in the sum 800 with
w. Hay Garnett as counsel.
