There must be a valid
reason why customers
from all points flock to
Rising Sun to do their
Spring Shopping.
AS the town is not as
large as some others, per-
sons not acquainted with
the stocks carried here
may wonder why?
However when a visit
is made, and a stroll is
taken through the eight
floors of our two buildings,
the reason is at once sug-
gested and then the prices
are learned. and intelli-
gent comparisons made,
the wonder is, why every
body does not go to the
place. A little more in
formation is all that is
needed.
We do not propose to
say, we are selling one
dollar goods for 80 cents,
or four dollar goods for
three. You are sufficient
~ intelligent to know this
is only an advertising
dodge. We ask you in
all fairness to visit our
place Of business and learn
the truth for yourselves.

fact that she had come TO this country
to insist OH her right. she knowing his
sentiments oward her and the probable

almost his entire estate OF several
millions. with the exception of a small
part, which went to his wife. to his
sisters. The New York laws will not
permit a man to disinherlt the woman
whom he has made his wife. and II was
this law that Mrs. Lee was to have
enforced In getting what she claimed
as her share OF the estate.

bands age. Prior to her departure for
Europe she took the leading part In

was editing the Mitchell Republican,
Geo. Allen the Brookings Press and
Mayhem the Letcher Blade. Allen

the whole horde OF Republican editors

desire for a straddle, and the result
was a black eye for silver and a solid
