pledge General Henderson its support. He Is an
able man, an old and experienced legislator, and
will have the entire confidence Of his party in the

Bed Comforts.

In place of buying the cheap Eastern
made Bed Comforts we had our own
made in Bellefontaine. They have not
sold as well as factory made goods, and
yet our prices were the same. We can
not account for this. Just compare a
clean, homemade comfort, filed with
the best clean cotton and covered with
best standard print or 1870 silkaline,
with factory made comfort filled with
a mystery and covered with the cheaper
kind of print that will stain and rub off.
There you have the difference. We
have told you the difference, now we
want your attention to the prices. 81

line. Comforts only offered one

Fuller Wallace, on Il cir way as Kings
Daughters, with provisions for two
needy families. As they neared the

ing none started ahead, just as loco
motive came backing down section of
freight cars. The horse reared and the
women stepped out OF the sleigh.
Fuller jerked the horse round and then
jumped, still bolding tho lines, and the
frightened animal backed into the train,
upsetting the sleigh. A brakeman got
off the car and picked up the bundles.

women, who walked the rest of the way,
grateful that they had escaped with
their lives.
