Although we have appropriated
considerable extra space in an effort
to get in all OF our correspondents
letters we still find that we have sew
eral interesting letters left over.
Some Of them arrived late, marked
"missent". 1t is hard to understand
how letter could be missent from
Carlisle or Santuc to this place
especially when it bears II printed
address.
We are glad to report that Mr.. NJ .
W. Bobo, who was sick some days
ago is back ut his place Of business,
looking as happy and cheerful as ever
Well, the way they are doing bust
ness ut his place is enough to make
anyone cheerful. Mr.. Bobo's idea
of conducting thriving business is
to fl his store with the goods the
people want put close prices and II
short profit upon them, advertise ard
stand squarely up to what he adver-
tises, and the balance follows as II
natural consequence. Well it has
followed in his case alright. We see
where he is right.
Harry Il Belk Of the famous New
York Racket, gives our readers some
sound advice in single sentence at
the top Of their ad this week. 1t says
"Watch this space and keep posted, +,
it will do your pocket book good. "
That sentence contains volumes for
the careful buyer. These people do
not talk through their hats, though
they sometimes make their hats talk
They have long since established the
reputation OF meaning what they
say, and now when they blow their
horn the people come-a-running for
the bargains they will find. Watch
their space.

tion Seek ye first the kindom OF
God and all these things will be ad-

very popular from the start, and that

was evidenced by the unusually large

Mr.. Rice has decided to have these
sermons published In book form. He
will next preach series of sermons

Statement From Washingts


 Washington. May s.-It Is learn from an authoritative source that before Sec retary Hay left here for the west he had several conferences with Lord Paunce- fote relatively to the basis for another isthmian canal treaty, and that an un- official written memorandum also was submitted to Lord Pauncefote on the sub ject. The ambassador has made known the general results of these conversations and of the memorandum to the authori- ties in London, and it is doubtless to this that allusion is made in the London dis patches.
 It Is said however, that the negotia- tions are so tentative and informal that they are not regarded as an official ex- change or proposition. What they em- body is not made known here, though It is understood they are chiefly an exposi- tion of the views held by United States Senators as to the essential features which should be included in treaty While this is not proffer of a treaty It conveys to the British authorities what is considered essential by the Senators who control the ratification of any treaty which will be made.
 It also is learned indirectly from Sena- tors who have been consulted that among the chief features in the negotiations are a neutraIizing of the canal, the United States alone undertaking to guarantee this neutrality and the admission of all shipping on an equal basis with that of the United States. Although, as stated these conferences and the written mem orandum have been exchanged, 1t Is not expected that there will be any further negotiations prior to Lord Pauncefote's departure for London, which occurs on June D. or during his absence.
