A GREAT STORE.

A reporter stepped in at Graden's
store yesterday to take look at the
improvements and changes that have
been going on there for some time
past. The changes are many and have
made a great improvement in the ap-
pearance of the various departments.
The windows of the grocery and of
the shoe department were remodeled
and made larger and lower so as to
correspond with the windows OF the
dry goods department. This makes
possible larger and more artistic
display of goods than was possible
heretofore. The grocery department
hls been improved with quite an ad.
dition Of shelves. which have all been
nicely painted, while the walls and
ceiling have been newly papered with
the latest patterns.
There has been considerable chang
ing around in the shoe department.
The gents furnishing goods, which
have always been kept In back cor
ner of the dry goods department. have
been moved into the shoe room and
now occupy the north side. The shoes
that were formerly kept on their north
side have been moved to shelves
placed on tables in the middle OF the
room. The department Of gents fur
nishings is thereby given more proml.
nence than at any time previous and
the wants of customers in this line
will be carefully studied.
Two elegant new showcases-one ~.
foot and the other l0-have been ad.
ded for the display OF goods, and one
window in this store has been given
over for the exhibition Of mems wear
ing apparel This room has also been
newly papered in colors and figures

ments here will be complete as soon

Professor Duns,on to the board Of
trade on cotton cultivation In the Brit
ish empire and in Egypt has been Is
sued as a blue-book by the govern

whereas in the early days OF British
otton manufacture practically the
whole supply Of the raw material was
irawn al first from India, and later
from the West Indies. the amounts at
present obtained from these sources
are relatively insignificant, and that
the British cotton industry is now al
most entirely dependent upon the

like a view in tairyland There sat the
