In the yard of the Court House. 1t was

July Suit Selling.

The people who know the
goodness of Meigs & Co. cloth
ing are always the first to re-
spOnd to announcements OF
midsummer or mid-wlnter
sales. The goodness Of the
clothes and the lowness of the
July prices are bringing the
buyers of this July sale of July
clothing, opened last Friday,
and is in full swing. The
price cutting has been very
generous, Considering that
summer is but a third gone.
Mems summer suits that were
bought to sell for from $3.50
to SIS are newmarket atfrOm
SIS to $3.50. There's hint Of
the bargains for men IN seas
enable suits of fancy Cassi-
meres, fancy cheviots and fan
Cy WOrStedS.
Just as attractive bargains
here for almost men boys OF
long trOuser ages-frOm 3.75
to $50 for suits that should
sell for from 800 to 1000.
Think of the difference, which
goes into your pocket just as
truly as if we gave it to you IN
greenbaCks.
Doesn't take the women
long to appreciate bargains.
Already a host Of mothers of
boys have been here to get
their share of the bargains in
Children's suits, marked from
former prices down to I.38,
1.80, 2.38, $50, $3.50 and 4.8O.
Some were as high as $3.50.
All sizes are here yet.
Little fellows suits, juniors,
REFERS and sailors, Of cloth,
that have been from $50 to
5000, are now marked from
I.38 to 4.80.
Some Of the blue flannel bar
gains we told you nOt-tOO-Sty-
liSh men about yesterday are
not here to-day. Enough,
however, to fit out early COM
ers to-day and perhaps Mon
day. Regular $40 true blue
suits, but $3.50 because the
coats are a little longer than
the mode of the day.
Some ofthe special bargains
in midweight bicycle suits have
been snapped up greedlly.
From 1000, 1900 and 1900
down to $50 is quite an In
