The Joseph Emporium is the Scene of Much Activity
 in Footwear.
Hundreds of Good Shoes Sold as low as 25 cents a Pair and Still
 the Sale Goes On.

The Joseph Emporium, always in the lead in whatever it undertakes, has been the scene of busy shoe buy CTS the past three days. Mir. Joseph, who spends much of his time in the market picking up bargains for his customers, secured a job lot of 800 dozen salvage corps shoes last week and shipped them at once to his Par- agould store. These shoes were bought at bargain, such as one rarely hears of and when they were spread out on special counters at Joseph's with the price marked in plain figures the people were surpris- ed. The idea of getting good pair of shoes for 25 cents to $1. that other dealers sell for $2 to $3 was a new departure in cut rates on foot wear that the people little expected. Such bargains of course did not go begging and it is safe to say that within the past three days Joseph has sold more shoes than all other merchants in Greene county combined.
 But the sale is not over and there are yet hundreds of choice bargains, out they are going rapidly.
 There are shoes for men, boys, ladies and misses. Shoes for the working man and shoes for the dude. Shoes for the fair maiden and shoes for the dame. Shoes of, all sorts, sizes and makes and a genuine bargain in every pair. You buy them ,om one fifth to one half of what they cost elsewhere. Don't wait till all these bargains are gone. They will only last through this week snd your opportunity to shoe yourself at trifing cost will be gone. So don t delay, but come now while the opp portunity is before you.
 When you call to get a bargain in shoes. let us show you any other goods you may need, Our large force of clerks are here to wait on you and their time is yours when you visit our store. Respectfully,
 J. l.. JOSEPH, Emporium. Wholesale and Retail.

Card of I hanks.
w. T. THURMAN.

Caryden, Ky, May 17th, 1902.
 1 desire to express my grateful appreciation to the many friends of my deceased husband, Fred M. Veatch, for their great kindness eX- tended to me during his last illness, and to me and my little ones after his death. So tender and thought full were the attentions shown us by these friends, the most of whom we had known for so short time, that we did not feel that we were far away among strangers. May the blessings of the widow and orphans be upon them. May the richest blessings of our Father in Heaven abide with them and shield them and their loved ones, and when trouble and bereavements must visit them, may they always find friends as kind and helpful as those we found in Paragould.
 Very gratefully,
 MRS. LULU VEATCH.

Writes Entertainingly of the Presby
 terian Assembly at Springfield.

Springfield, Mo-, May l9, 1902. EDITOR SoLIPHoNE,
 Dear Sir; All the pulpits, white and colored, in Springfield were filled yesterday by our strongest preachers, and the entire city heard the gospel from the Cumberland Presbyterian standpoint All the smaller towns within forty miles of Springfield asked for preachers and had their pulpits supplied by onr men. It was great day for us. The assembly resumed business again this morning and continued it's work until II a. m. when it listened to most eloquent and learned address from Dr. Matthews, of London, Eng, who represents the Pan Presbyterian Alliance.
 There are number of questions to come before the Assembly that will make things warm l am sure, judging from the earnest work of the committees and words let fall here and there. There is a memor- ial before the Assembly from a Texas Presbytery asking that our confession of faith be so changed as to admit diffusion only, as bap- tism, thus doing away with i'm mersion in the Cumberland Pres byterlan church. This will bring out warm discussion as there are many that think this act would lay too much stress on the mode, while many others are in sympathy with the memorial, and do not think immersion baptism at all, and hence should not be practiced by tEe church.
 The spirit of love and harmony prevails and we look for no storms. Every Arkansas man is on com mittee and the Assembly knows we are here and alive.
 Someone sent me the Daily Soli- phone and 1 noted with due sorrow that blood had been shed and life taken. Oh! when will men hear God and obey when He says, "Thou shalt not kill"? May the Lord save us from any more bloody stains on Paragould's fair name. My letter is too long, so l close. Yours frat, w. T. THURMAN.

Back From Texas.

I went to Dallas to the reunion, and when 1 got there 1 was in such speed of travelling that I did not stop there, but went to Ft. Worth to spend the remainder of the night. The next morning I went out to stock ranch and saw several nice horses and mules. Then the best of all was to!see the cattle ranch which is said to be the largest in the state. l saw some fine land and some that was very poor. l left Ft. Worth on the Ft. w & D railroad going back northwest in the timber near the ,."ountains. The land there is rolling and sandy with scarcely post-oak timber. 1 did not notice but one running creek while I was in the state.
 Ft. Worth is certainly a nice city, the buildings there are most all built of stone. The court hous e is fine five-stOry stone building.
 As there has been so much said about Texas since the reunion l will not say any more.
