Turks were killed.
A detachment Of Ottoman troops has
burned the village Of DihoVo, near

Eight Turkish battalions have been

talions to Salonica from Kossovo.
Telegraphic communication with
Monastir is still interrupted.
Consul advices which were received
at Constantinople Wednesday from
Monastir indicated that the situation
in Macedonia was constantly growing
worse.
At a meeting Of the Turkish minis

adopt measures of extreme severity IN
order to suppress the revolution. 1t IS
reported that Albanian troops will be
employed, in which event massacres
are almost inevitable.
The Bulgarian exarch was summon

urged to make a final appeal to his

thereby avoid bloodshed.
The menacing attitude Of the Kurds

Successful Fruit Raiser.
Mr. r. L. Wilson, who lives on York.
willie r. F. D. route No. l, about 10
miles from town, complimented The
ENQUIRER ,ast Wednesday with box
of fine fruit, including different varie-
ties of grapes and peaches. Mr.. Wilson
has an orchard of about four acres to
which he pays more than ordinary at
tention. The orchard includes "oid
fashion as we'll as nursery peaches,
apples, cherries, plums, pears, etc., put
one of the most interesting features or
1t Is four Royal Limbertwig apple
trees. These are the trees that maze
North Carolina famous as an apple
growing state. Mr.. Wilson put out his
trees about four years ago. They were
then two years old, and two of them
have been bearing for the past two
years. The fruit in Mr.. Wilson's opin-
ion, is as fine as that which comes
from North Carolina, and 1t keeps
though the winter readily. Having
been successful so far, Mr.. Wilson Will
no doubt develop his apples still fur-
ther and will probably show that this
fruit can be produced in as great per-
fection here as forty or fifty miles rur-
ther north.

About SHOES.

Incidentally We would mention the
fact that we are gradually working out
Of the Clothing trade with the intention
of handling bigger stocks Of shoes and
ladies goods. We shall certainly carry
a bigger stock of Shoes than we have
ever carried before, and we have no
reasonable doubt but that our stock
Of Shoes will be the largest and most
complete that has ever been handled
by one store in this city. For several
years past we have been carrying the
well-known Reeds Shoes for ladies',
and while we know it is but a waste
of time to tell Of the merits Of these
shoes to ladies who know and appreci-
ate good footwear, but for the benefit
Of ladies who are not thoroughly ac-
quainted with Reed Shoes We will say
that these shoes stand head and shoul-
ders above any other make Of ladies'
shoes on sale in this section Of the
country. When q lady wears Reeds
Shoes she Is sure to be properly shod.
If you doubt this statement, ask the
lady who wears Reed Shoes, and she
will vouch for all our claims on this
subject.
For a number of years past the Rey-
nolds Shoe has been our leader for
men, and Of the hundreds Of pairs we
have sold we have had exceptionally
few complaints-there are always some
complaints about all shoes. But to
prove our claim as to the high stand
ard Of quality of the Reynolds Shoes
we will quote what q well-known shoe
man, who is thorough expert on the
shoe question, and who has not one
cents interest in the Reynolds shoe,
recently said to us:
1.-THE Reynolds shoe is without ex-
ception the best shoe that I have had
in my hands in years. 1t Is the best
shoe that Is sold on this market, and
that is saying good deal"
The man quoted has been handling
shoes for years and knows shoes from
heel to toe and from sole to tug. If
you wear a Reynolds shoe you will
wear the best.
Our stock of Shoes will include all
styles, sizes, prices and qualities, and
we believe that we will be in position
to please anybody in quality, style, and
price. In other words, when you want
Shoes 1t will save you time II you will
come to see us.

LION my part to proclaim from the

that when they did so I would be

it Is true and cannot be controverted,

not try to verify their statements. An
