WOmen'S New
Fall Footwear.

We are showing a few of the new
fall styles of Women's Shoes, and
the variety will increase as the days

greatly modified. The heels are
higher. In a word, the trend is
toward neatness and daintiness-

AMPuTATIOS PERFORMED.
SOUTH THIRD STREET LADY
LOSES A FOOT.

An operation was this morning per-
formed on Mrs. Malissa whitledge Of
SIS South Third street and a portion
of her right foot removed, and at press
time the patient was resting easy.
Drs. Troutman, Pendley and Graves
performed the operation, which was a
success in every particular. Mrs.
whitledge had an attack of heart
trouble three years ago and hot irons
were applied to keep up the circula-
tion of the blood. In some way the
bone was affected by the burn and the
foot grew gradually worse until the
operation was considered the only re-
lief.
