Bishop Francis VI. White. whose
illness has caused much solicitude
among his unuumbered host of
friends, is regarded by HE physi
cian. DR.. Stuart McGuire, as much
better. His condition is considered
now decidedly more favorrble to his
recovery. He has case of grip
that younger person would not
mimi SO much. But grip goes hard
with "a not-over- strong man, aged ~
years. This caused his friends TO
fear Richmond Dispatch.
Prices lower than

1t is almost q truism among emi.
nently successful business men that
newspaper advertising is bound to
prove more profitable than any other
form of publicity seeking. Still a
Western editor the other day could
not resist the temptation to relate u
recent experience of several mer-
chants of his town. The merchants
united IN a coupon scheme TO get
business. Aud then what did they
do? Why they found it necessary, of
course, to advertise the coupons in the
newspapers.
Bargains this week
In Comforts and Blankets

Apples are not rs plentiful as they
might be. They are scarcer, dearer,
not SO good and not so handsome.
There was "a fair assortment awhile
ago and some people hoped It would
last, but il hasn't. The displays at
the stores tempt one to inquire the
price and then-buy an orange. The
crop was short this year aud il is like
ly that apples will be locked in the
vault for safe-keeping before spring,
along with other vAluables.
