CoIIeetors Pay over Mueh Money.

Last Tuesday the Levy Court of Kent
county met the tax collectors, and re-
eeived about $25 600 of the taxes assessed
for the year 1907. This enables them to
pay some large outstanding bills. Sew
eral large claims were turned down for
adjustment. One was an "indexing
job, on which the claim is $1,000 but
the Levy Court wants to pay it off with
$500, or twenty cents for each name on
the indexes opened. The replacing Of
Railroad avenue bridge in Milford with
a concrete-expanding-metal top, was
and unless the first cost is too
much, it will be done ; as the present
bridge is dangerous for travel now.

for me to express my opinion Of the
merits Of DOsn's Kidney Pills as a kid
ney and backache remedy. l suffered
from constant, dull pains through my
kidneys and across my lOins. These at
tacks had been very frequent and as
time went by became more so, and
each succeeding attack seemed worse
and worse, particularly if caught the
slightest cold, or exerted myselfa little
extra, the pains becoming much more
acute and there appeared to be no re-
lief for it. Physicians could not reach
the trouble, and the many advertised
remedies used, did me no good.

GOOD Shoes

Several days ago a woman came
into this store.
Bought one pair of our $3.50
shoes.
Said: Il know Pm pretty
fussy about shoes--but its so hard
to find the kind of shoes that Just
suit me.
Yesterday she sent her hus-
band in to buy her another pair
and a pair for each of her daugh-
ters.
Now you know just as well as
we do that it takes extra good
shoes to sell like that.
The old original gift of speech
is right there with the daughters
of Eve, and when one of them
gets a shoe that is little better
in style, fit and looks-and gets
it at the price she wants to pay
well she'll brag, boost and crow
your shoe and your store overI
every woman she knows.
That is what hundreds of wom-
en- are doing about this store
every day-and more are learn
ing about the goodness and style
and little prices Of our shoes every
day and they in return are tell
ing their friends.
And the real reason is
They want their friends to be
as comfortably shod and to save
money in buying as they did.
Why don't you try it ?

New York, July 12-Announcement was made by the Commercial Photographers union of this city tonight that all the men here, 26OO in number in both the Western Union and Postal companies, have been notified by National Secre- tary-Treasurer Russell to hold themselves in readiness to go out any moment.
 Tonight announcement was given out by Charles P. McInerny. secrtta ttary-treasurer of Local 1G of the Telegraphers' union, who said everything depended on the sue cess or failure of United States Labor Commissioner Nelll in bringing to an end the trouble in San Francisco.
 Ut will not be necessary to call a meet ing of the local to take a vote when VIC receive the order to strike" said the sec retary, this is one of the cases when such a formality can and will be oyer ruled. The strike will be against both the Western Union and Postal companies. tough the main grievance Is against tho Western Union. President Clowry of the Western Union notwithstanding his state ment from time to time has shown no inclination to live up to the pledges he gave in his letter to United States Com missioner Neill.
