j. Slidcll Brown,
klDgwood, w. Va,
Dear Sir:-Some days ago we
mailed ycu a copy OF our new col
orud carpet catalogue, and not
hearing from you. desire to call
your attention w the fact that in
the very near future there is to be
an advance from l5 to IS per cent
on all catalogue prices; this add
vance IL caused by the increased
value of raw materials since the
passage of the new tariff law.
All the present prices on our
goods are based on the former cost
Of raw materials. and on our i'm
ported carpets, Mt the former rate
Of duty under tho Wilson bill.
1t ia true we have yet an enor
nous stock on hand, and as long
as n yard Of goods remains unsold,
1T belongs TO our customers at the
catalogue price. but were our stock
ten times its present size, 1t would
not long withstand the avalanche
OF orders which are now pouring
in daily.
We hope we have explained the
matter clearly, AS our sole purpose
is To save our patrons money and
even though YOU should not need
II carpe, for some months to come.
You will affect a great saving by
purchasing now.
Trusting that We may receive an
order within few days and assur-
ing you that it will be appreciated,
and will receive our usual careful
and nrompt attention. we are
Respectfully yours.

tiug under tree yelping TO call up a
scattered brood OF young turkeys.

was so perfect that Mr. Sam, Forbes,
thinking it was turkey, but failing to
see anything slipped up 70 within TWEEN
ty or twenty-five yards OF the place and
leveled his gun in the direction from
which the yelping came,
MIR, Council, seeing the danger he
was in, turned his head and was about
to speak, but twas too late, Mr.. Forbes
had already pulled the trigger, and he
fell with 90 No. 8 shot in his face arms
and body. Messrs Jack Council and
Calf Posey, who were near by, togeth-
er with Mr.. Forbes, Immediately went
10 MS assistance,
He was helped onto his horse and
carried to the home Of Mr.. H. G. Reh.
winkel, and after taking stimulant.
was abs to ride home, where Dr.. Hunt
was called in and the wounds dressed.
Out Of the 80 shot that took effect,
twelve lodged in his face, several Of
which entered his right-sye.
Mr., Council Is now able to be up
again, although his wounds are very
painful and he will probably lose one
eye.
This is the second time Mr., Council
