A Dress for a
Christmas Gift

Certainly, if it be handsome
enough. Good excuse for asking for an
other, or for one that is so handsome,
when you can call it a Christmas gift; and
this offering includes superb gowns that
have been marked as much as hundred
and fifty dollars. Fine gifts, indeed. But
they won't cost that much today; for
though the former prices were 800 to
$50, all are marked today at SIS.
Think of it!
They are the very dressy Tailor-madc
Suits-heavy enough for Winter wear,
with furs at the neck, and golf vest
under the coat. The suits are mostly one
of kind, so that description is impossi-
bic, except to say that they are made of
beautiful cloths and velveteens, in the
most charming long and short coat mod
els, artistically trimmed, and richly lined
throughout with silk Now S75, instead
of 800 to $3.50
Then here is another group-S43 to
SIS Suits. today at SIS. Made of
zibelines, cheviots, broadcloth and fancy
materials, with long or short coats, pref
tily trimmed and silk-lined throughout.
All at $35.

KRUGER and the uitIanders.

During the agitation at Johan-

sought burgher rights for them
selves President Kruger thus ex-
planned his philosophy Of it to Sir
Henry Loeb: "Sir Henry, these peo-
pie remind me Of a baboon | once

he would rot let any one touch me.
But one day we were sitting round
the fire, and unfortunately the
beasts tail got caught in the fire.

like that. They have burned their

The Health authorities OF
California and San Francisco
have been called upon by the
Federal Government and by
several of the States to root
out the bubonic plague which
has gained a foothold in China
town. If this is not done,
quarantine of the whole state
is threatened. This is one of
the worst of the plaques which
periodically kill off thousands
in the oriental countries, and
most stringent measures to
stamp it out are justifable. It
has already gained a foothold
on the western coast of Mexico,
and i'll some places people are
reported to be dying like sheep.
At Mazatlan the Federal
authorities have ordered the
shipyards, which were erected
there few years ago at
enormou expense, to2 sbe

The Pioneer Press says there
was a rumor in Washington
Tuesday that the Cabinet had
broken up in a row and one

The lodge resolution provid-

This idea has been made use

We are pleased to note that
both Representatives Stone

A Relic of Early Days.
CContributed)

The father Of the writer, the
late brennan Love, became {
resident of Lowndes county il
1884, locating near. the Butler
brick church on the Macon road
A few years later he removed
some ten miles to the southwest
on the Moore's Bluff and Stark
vile road. The first residence
built was Of hewed logs. followed
by more pretentious framed
one, as was the custom in those
days. Ia front of the old resi-
dent site there has stood for
sixty-fve years a stately oak, ap-
parently IN normal condition but,
falling to respond to the gentle
wooings of spring and robe her
self in living green, it was today
felled. In splitting it up pre-
paratory to removal. a buck horn.
ten inches in length was found
completely imbedded in it about
six feet from the ground as the
tree stood. No one on the prem
ises had any knowledge of the
presence of the buck horn in the
tree, hut circumstantial evidence
points clearly to it as a hitching
place or horse rack in the pioneer
days Of Western Lowndes when
deers were plenti ful an dtheir
horns served for ornaments as
well as articles of utility.
A practical lesson may be
learned from this incident. Judg-
ging from a point or projection
on the horn, two inches from its
base, it is evident that 1t was in
serted into the tree only that far,
thus leaving eight inches to De
by growth during the
sixty-five years. The diameter
of the tree is thirty six inches.
One given to nice calculations
may determine approximately
the age Of the tree. Another
seriously inclined may find food
for reflection in this as illustra-
tive of the statement that there
is nothing hid that shall not be
revealed. But to each it is a sad |
reminder of the flight of time, of |
ever changing scenes and the
certainty of temporal dissolu,
