 Pay less and you will Tot get the quality. There are no Clothes just as good as ours for less money. It's impos- sible, for our prices are rock bottom 1 The same is true of our Shoes and | Hats.

 It was rumored several days ago that 1 Sam McFaIl, who is out on bail, l awaiting action of the supreme court on his appeal, had run away or was making preparations to do so The rumor reached the ears of his bonds men and they notified he sheriff to take charge of him. A deputy was sent after him, and found himself, wife and children hard at work in the field gathering their crop. It did not look like he had any intentions of run ming away, and we don't think he has any reason to do so, but nevertheless he IS now in jail. He was sentenced to two years in the penlten,iary for kill- ing T. J. Withers, the circumstances and particulars of which are familiar to our readers.

 Fannie does not know whether the COW was making a mad rush at her, or trying 10 escape farmer's whip
 but she is painfully aware that one
 horn struck her hand and arm, and the other her side and slipped under her
 belt. It is miracle that someone has
 not been hurt before, and it is a shame that these measly old COWS should be allowed to run at large in d city of our pratensions. Owners of cows shonla be required to keep them up and feed them.
 Every person that can should 2 send to Memphis, Chicago, St. Louis, or elsewhere for their Christmas purchas es. The merchants of those towns pay so much t?l Howard keeping up the free schools where your children get an education; they patronizs your suppers, and entertainments, they contribute large sums to your churches and other public enterprises; in fact they are so much nearer to your every interest than the home merchant, that we are surprised that tho little home fellows get living here at all.
