RLvERstS DEPRESS RUSSIA
The Disastrous Naval Defeat
Makes Russia Despair

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 10. 1.30 p. ma
the much-tried Russian admiralty. The
official report of wee Admiral Skrydon
ming on the heels of the known losses
sustained by the Port Arthur squadron
in it's desperate sorties of August 10. and
the anxiety over the fate of the war
ships st.ll unaccounted for not only con-
firming the sinking of the Rurik. bu,
showing that the injuries sustained by
the Gromob | and Kossa in the fight
with Vice Admiral Kamimura's squadron
weie even greater than anticipated. COM
pletes the crushing nature of the blow
to Russia's ili-starred naval forces in the
far east. SO far as the immediate future
Is concerned, the admiralty does not dis
guise the fact tnat the Vladivos ok
squadron is destr yed. The effect upon
the public is also most depressing. The
only consolation found is in the words
of praise bestowed on the officers and
men and the unequal character of the
fight, Russian naval experts by the sys-
tenn of -efficients. figuring that the In
feriority of the Vlad.vostok squadron In
armor and guns was SO to 20o In some
quarters of the navy there is also a dis
position to censure Rear Admiral Jes-
sen for aband ming the Rurik. even
though standing by her would have
meant that the Gromoboi and Rossia
would have shared her fate.
The chief mystery at the admiralty
here Is why Vice Admiral Kamimura
drew off when Admiral Jessens ships
were at his mercy The only explana-
. tion is that his squadron must have suf-
fered such frightful damage that 1t could
not ntinue the battle
1t is nfirmed that the losses of Of
ficers and men on board the Rossia and
Gromoboi were fifty per cent of the for
mer and 25 percent of the latter show
ing the dreadful havoc caused by the fire
from the japanese ships. even at a
range exceeding three niles. Private re.
ports say the decks of the Ros were
veIitable shambles.

for exaggeration. We~will never

Use the Mails.

When merchants, progressive, successful mer-
chants we mean, buy goods they write to differ
ent houses for prices. They do not do this SO
much to save themselves money as they do in Or
der that they may be able to undersell their COM
%petitors. But it is a well known fact that no
two dealers hardly ever have the same price on
the same articles. Then will it not pay you to
get prices from all the leading dealers, especially
when you can get them by simply writing a pos
tai card to each dealer. Isn't it better to have
the prices all before you and the description writ.
ten than to 60 over to your neighbors and ask
them to find out the price if he goes to town or to
take a horse and yourself from your work and
lose a day probably just to find out if a dealer has
a certain article and what the price of it is. Do
not think that if you will write for prices, a dealer
would quote his lowest prices, as he would think
that you also wrote to another dealer for prices
in order to compare them: For instance you want
to buy a wagon, buggy, surry, mower, disc harrow
section harrow, plows, planters, fertilizer, bag
ging, ties, lumber or groceries in quantities; write TO
different houses and note the difference in the prices
quoted. You will be surprised. 1t will pay you.
Try it. Write us for prices on anything, matters
not what. We answer all inquiries same day we
receive them. In writing don't fail to. give your
post office and the number Of Rural Route you are
on. 1t matters not whether you livein Pontotoc
or Lee county, write for our prices.

Osborne Mowers.

Did you know that Osborne
Mowers start their knives quicker
than any other newer in the world.
DO you know why? This is the
reason why. The pawl plate of an
Osborne has 4 ratchets and 20
teeth. Other mowers have about 2
ratchets and 10 teeth. The faster
the knives cut, the lighter the
draft and less are the chances of
cleglng.
Did you know that the Osborne
Pitman is protected by a solid steel
bar, that it has ball socket joints.
In other words the Osborne is the
best, in our judgement. We will
sell you a Il foot Osborne mower
for $42. so cash. Or $45. 90, ] this
fall without interest the other ]
next fall with interest at 7 per cent.

rakes too. Call and examine sam
