Women's New Fall
and Winter Shoes.

We are showing a few of the new
fall styles of Women's Shoes, and
the variety will increase as the days
60 by. The betteFment this. season
is more noticeable than ever. The
shoemakers seem to have outdone
themselves in their efforts to please.
And our present stock deserves rec
ognition for individuality and ST.
periority in both style and finish.
None but the most reputable makers
are represented. Many of the lines
are Our own special patterns and
shapes and possess every qualifca-
ton human ingenuity can suggest to
please the most fastidious.
A noticeable feature this season is
the trend toward the lighter and
more graceful shapes. The broad
shapes are modified, and the heels
are higher, to give a more graceful
poise to the carriage.
We invite especially the hard to
ht' women and the women who want
"the very latest STYLE" as well as
those whose especial desire is COM
fort and durability in a shoe.

CONFESS YOUR SINS.

Why two young men who were rals-
ed 10y pious parents, trained under
Christian influence, brought up In
polite circles, accustomed to attenu
services in our churches, should have
wantonly and wickedly destroyed the
property Of another Is profound mystic
~ To us, but that they have had cour-
aye 10 confess the wrong is subject OF
congratuation. Suspicion has been re-
moved from all others, and the COM
munity feels relieved. There can Ds
no excuse or paliaiion Of the unusual
and monstrous offence, and yet We
haven't stone to fling at anybody.
Seeing a condemned man being led to
the gallows, good John Baxter ex-

Those of Us who know nothing Of the
drunkard's thirst can know but little

What demon drove the young men
To such dastardly act none Of us may
ever know, but We all unite in the
hope that with every recurring temp
tation there may be to each Of them
provided some way Of escape.

The curse pronounced upon drunken
ness is a. hoary as the story Of Noah's
sin. The record divine approved Of
total abstinence is no younger than the
clean record Of the Rechabites. Never
has human being "cOme out from
among" those who consent To the use
Of alcoholic drinks to be separate"
that he has not obeyed, not mere
within or notion or extreme idea Of
duty and self denial, but the law Of
God (which can never be thought Of
apart from the law Of nature) written
in mans members from the beginning.
Conversely. whoever by his own will
and consent passes through his lips the
principle Of alcoholic ferment sets
aside in this one particular, at least,
the holy and perfect law Of God
For long centuries, perhaps before
NOah's disgrace, conscientious individ-
uals have made a close investigation
INTO the terrible and mysterious work
Of alcohol upon the human being. The
history Of the temperance reform is
but the history Of growing obedience
to the divine law Of total abstinence
aud the unsellish endeavor Of those
thus obedient TO open the eyes Of their
fellows to the truth. The reform has
been erochal because at certain periods,
special phases or features Of the law
have become suddenly clear, aud the
good heaven Of righteousness has
rapidly spread through obedent
hearts.-The Union Signal.

Judge Campbell, of Amherst, was
promptly acquitted by a jury Of his
peers Of the charge Of malicious assault
on Rev. Mr.. Crawford, and the an
nouncement of the verdict was received
with applause.
We know nothing of the material Of
which the jury was made up. nor did
we hear one word of the evidence Of.
fered in the case, and yet we must be
permitted to say that the verdict was
no surprise to US. This doesn't mean
that Judge Campbell did right, but it
does mean that Virginia jury cannot be
found who will punish a fellowman
for resenting a gross and outrageous
insult. 1t may not he written that

Of a few masters aud millions Of en-
