aTALK BY NUNNALLY &CO,
Why They are Not Giving Away Any New Springfield Wagon.

Why They are Not Giving Away
 Any New Springfield Wagon. ro the Good People of Green Forest and Car
 roll County; e
 A few weeks ago we began a little talk with you through THE TRIBUNE about Shoes, how they are made and other things. We told you that all the Goods we have are brand new, and that we are selling good Goods at prices that you have heretofore paid for shoddy articles.
 We have to announce to you ,shis week that we are not selling Springfield wagons, nor are we piving them away. The people who make wagons do not give them away. In this connection, we want to tell you 8 little story. IQpce upon a time not over Twenty five miles from Green Forest certain merchant pro- posed to give ticket with each | 25. cent purchase until certain humber had been given out, some ! one of these tickets to contain humber that would draw new Springfield wagon, with sheet, bows and spring seat. Now, it so happened that a fellow resid- / ing d considerable distance from town dropped into this store and spent just even % cents for his ffavorite brand'of tobacco, which he could not find anywhere else. | He never traded at that store before and never afterWard, . but his was the winning ticket. He did not like this merchant but he took the wagon just the same.
 Now, we want to ask was it a fair scheme to put up which made it possible for the man who spent only % cents in this store 10 get the wagon which faithful, prompt paying customers, who had stood by the merchant, had paid for? Wouldn' it have been much better for all concerned had the worth of the wagon been divided up and each customer given his proportion, or taken off the price of the goods in the first place.
 That is exactly what we are do- ing. We price the goods as low Es good goods can be sold. Ask the hundreds of people who have Ealled, priced and bought of our goods since we have opened up. We can therefore offer no game f chance for your trade.
 Please bear in mind, Goods hat are sold for low price are hot necessarily cheap. The Falue of an article is measured by Is wearing qualities in actual Fervice-not for the length of lime it can be thrown from shelf counter and back in a store.
 Our goods are all brand new, ought for spot cash by a buyer 1 knows how, when and where strike, which enables us to sell pw-very low indeed-consider- pg the quality of goods we ham,
 e.
 Let us ask you again to call at
 UT store, price and examine our
 pods. If we can't convince you
 le can save you money, we
 on't ask for your trade.

AN EXQUISITE EXAMPLE OF

ing letter from Sister of Mercy:
 The departure of e train of wounded had to be postponed because no medical instru- ments were in the stores of the Red Cross present. There were neither medicines nor instruments. We have to order everything by telegram from St. Petersburg."
 Hospitals Are Overtaxed.
 The most perplexing question arising out of the war is what to do with the enor- nous number of wounded rapidly returning from the front To the number must be recent fighting about Mukden. Harbin hos pitals are full to the limit of their ca- pacity, and the hospitals at Irkutsk have all they can accommodate. The Siberian rail- road is crowded with trains full of un- fortunates and hospital accommodations are not extensive in Russian towns
 Moreover. there is another serious ques- tion, that of money. The large funds of the Red Cross have been exhausted, and the re- sources of the. private charities organized by members of the imperial family and oth- CTS are a mere drop in the ocean in the face of the numbers of sick and wounded which will have to be cared for.
 Want Church to Aid.
 The idea of the church coming to the rescue has been mootSd. The church in Russia has grown exceedingly rich through the small but multiple donations of the poor all over the country. Prince Ouktousky, re- ferring to this subject. says:
 ''Our people, as everyone knows. are in the worst degree of poverty, but when any thing is to be done for the cloister they make 1t a matter of honor and conscience to give the last kopeck. These kopecks. coming from the pockets of millions. have provided the cloister with millions of cap

How to Shoot Deer.

H. s. Garfield in November Outing.
 In drawing on a deer the experienced
 hunter will endeavor to shoot 1t square,
 ly through the shoulders. That shot
 will stop 1t inside of twenty feet ev- cry time. If the animal is shot through
 the heart and has just taken full
 breath 1t will run from twenty-five to
 a hundred yards. Hit back of the hear
 through the body, it Is likely to go al-
 most any, distance, from one mile to. ten, A bullet through the head or
 neck bones or spine will stop 1t of
 course. but nobody shoots at those
 marks of intention. They are too dif-
 ficult. The hunter does not always
 have choice of shots. He is often
 forced to shoot at the animal when its
 trump is turned toward him. or when 1t
 is facing him. He may get his deer or may not. even if the bullet strikes fairly for tven then there is no cert ainty of inflicting a fatal wound. The modern high-powdered small-calibred rifles will throw through a deer from end to end, but often the bullet is de- dected by bone and goes out without reaching a vital spot There is much outcry against the use of these rifles, but in the hands of a careful man they are very efficient weapons; in the hands of one not careful almost any bore of rifle will do to kill another hunter with. Men are slain in the woods because the men who slay them mistake them for deer. not often be- cause the rifles carry too far.

commI,tsd Suicide by Handing.

Churchville, July 1.-Mr. James H.
Smith, aged about thirty years, son of
Mr.. q. r. Smith. of this village, COM
mitted suicide yesterday morning by
hanging. Several months ago he suf-
fered a severe attack of fever. from
which he appeared to have recovered,
physically, but never regained perfect
mental equilibrium. His conversation
and actions sometimes caused his
friends uneasiness, and his movements
were watched as closely as possible.
This morning, however, apparently
interested in harvest work, be rode
away, ostensibly to secure help from q
ne1ghboring farmer. His prolonged
absence occasiOned alarm and friends
going In search OF him found his life
less body in the woods along an unfre-
uuented road. He had hitched his
horse. climbed fence and fastened the
rope to the limb of tree. The ROPE
was q very small one. and when he
sprang from the fence it broke. The
shock, however, was sufficient to dis
locate his neck, and his death was evi
IDENTIFY instantaneous. An inquest wal
held this afternoon and verdict rem
dered in accordance with the abOv
u facts. Mr.. Smith was unmarried, bu
is survived by his father, two brother
and three sisters.

The Horse Show.

The first annual exhibition of the
StauntQn Horse Show Association will
be held at the Fair Grounds on the Sth
and 9th of August, and entries will
close on July 80. The enties will lie
numerous as the management already
knows. and they are further assured
that before the closing day many not
now known of will be added. This will
be the first show held here of the kind
by any association, and the interest
exhibited in it is most gratifying
There is no part of this country where
finer horses can be grown than in the
Valley of Virginia, the Blue Grass re-
giOn of Kentucky not excepted, yet
Notwithstanding this, the farmers of
Augusta have allowed the quality OF
their horses to deterlorate, and the
coming exhibition will have much to
do toward encouraging the raising of
better horses.
The prize list is splendid one rang
ing from $40 to $200-the majority of
prizes being about $50. This should
insure a number of entries in all of
the higher classes.
The association has at it's head men
who are deeply In earnest in all that
they have undertaken, in our Fair
grounds they have one of the most
beautiful points on which to make
tneir exhibition, and nothing save bad
weather can prevent one of the most
enjoyable occasions our people have
ever had presented to them.
We trust that the people of this cOun-
ty will give this enterprise their COR
dial and earnest support. They should
come promptly on both days, and al
low nothing to interfere with their
coming, so that they may see a gather
ing of horses the like of which they
have never seen before, and the like of
which was never before in the county.
The beauty and fashion of many of
our neighboring counties and cities
will be On hand, and there will be so
many interesting features that our
people cannot afford to miss it. MI.
Hugh &. Braxton of Stanton, will
furnish the prize list and any other in
to all who write or call to
see him.

The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic National cOnven-
ton assembled in St. Louis at noon on
w ednesday. The largest crowd that
ever assembled in the large auditorium
was present when Chairman Jones
called the body to order and named
John Sharp Williams temporary chair
man. Mr.. Williams spoke for over an
hour and a half, outlining the party
policy and severely criticising the
Roosevelt administration and the Re-
publicans generally.
Can Parker be nominated! is the
question stirring all the delegates. His
friends claim that he now has the two
thirds nee essary to secure a victory.
His opponents claim the opposite and
say he cannot possibly be successful.
The Tammany delegates announce that
they are assured of more than enough
votes to defeat him.
