Gard of Thanks.

Dear friends of Fitzgerald and
the state of Georgia: We desire
to express in terms as strong as the
english vocabulary will admit, our
sincere thanks and heartfelt graft
tude to our friends for the many
expressions of sympathy and acts
of kindness and tokens of brother
ly love and assurances of prayers
during the recent illness and since
the death of our dear son, Clarence
E. Waters. Our hearts are sad
and lonley since the cruel hand of
death mercilessly snatched from
our home and our hearts our de-
voted child. Yet we know he was
His before ours, and we bow in
submission to the will of him who
knows best and who has said "AIl
things work together for good to
them that love the Lord, to the call
ed according to his promise" We
have found great comfort too by the
many words of sympathy from
those who knew and loved our
precious boy. We also find COM
fort in the promises of God and
in the hope of Immortality.
Sincerely
Mr.. and Mrs w r, Waters

VIII Adopt Cash System.

The cash system adopted by d
large number Of merchants and
business men seems to be working
admirably and is proving highly
satisfactory to business and pat
rons. On October 1st the Central
Meat Market will adopt the cash
system, believing that it is best for
all Col cerned. The credit system
in business of the kind means
large increased expenses and con-
sequently higher prices. Every
merchant who sells on credit must
take into calculation his losses
when he prices his goods, and in
the long run the honest customer
pays for the losses or the merchant
fails. Some people will not pay
even for their food, and others are
so slow that the expense of collect
ing is about equal 20 the expense
running the shop. The customer
who pays cash ought not to be re-
quired to pay credit prices, and
we can sell much cheaper on the
cash system which ought to be APP
preciated by all honest people. On
the cash system we all get a fair
and square deal.
We ask our many customers and
friends to consider we'll these few
points and continue with us and
we will show you the benefit of the
change. w. V. CHURCH,
Proprietor Central Meat Market.

But in the morning he gone. While his jailer
slept in the room with him, Almighty Voice
had picked his pocket of the key and fled They
brought him in again, this time not only with hand
cuffs on his wrists but with shackles his legs. But
again they could not keep him. In the dead of

filed off his bonds, and with his own hands opened
the door and sent him out into the night.

they found of him for eighteen months, he might

on May Fl, 1897, the barracks at Prince Albert re-

was hiding in the Minnichinas hills seventeen miles

swooped over the hill and almost rode them down

When the smoke cleared away, the captain lay
wounded and two dead-and the three
Indians had apparently melted away.

two civilians appeared the scene,-Richard Cook,
now mayor of Prince Albert, and George Grundy.
They were returning from trip to Battleford, and
the sound of firearms guided them to the

Sweep the bush before it gets dark he said to
the sergeant who had assumed command when the
captain fell. IF YOU wait till morning, they will
slip away from you again.
The little party quickly formed in thin red line
and gamebeaters for royalty swept covert
cleaner than did they; yet never trace of the
Indians could they find. Had they looked behind
them with half the interest with which they looked
ahead they probably would have seen their prey
creeping steathily along in their rear. When they
reached the outer edge of the wood Cook and the
sergeant turned and looked each other in puzzled
wonder.
"Are YOU sure they are in this BUSH" asked
Cook.
GAS sure as I am that the Aurora Borealis1 be

said.
Better call in your men, then" said Cook, and

The sergeant turned to give the order, when there

Cook and Grundy wheeled in their tracks as one

that he and Grundy had both caught Almighty

Around the firesides Of Prince Albert they still
tell the story of Almighty Voice 1t is tale bald
and terrible as Greek epic; the tale of an Indian
had been his one asset in the crowded marts of the
world who defended it to the last taking terrible
toll of those whose made laws would have be-

ENTS of wide significance have
been decided by the merest tritles.
Rome was saved by the cackling

Robert Bruce owed his life and

and a pair of handouts precipi-

denied that he had killed any cattle. The men in
the party all his friends: at least he always had
so considered them. Hitherto, his mere word with
them had been sufficient. He maintained his dignity
even when they explained that according to the
white mans law he must go with them to Prince
Albert and prove his innocence. Not until some one
flashed pair of handouts before his eyes did his
Indian stoicism desert him. Then his dignity
thrown to the winds. He stormed and pleaded; he
threatened; he gave them his sacred promise that
he would go with them peacefully, if they would
not put the handouts on him. In vain. Yet, though
he made no forcible resistance, though he merely
grew sullen when he realized the inevitable, the men
in the party sensed the tragedy of the moment when
they heard the steel click on his wrists.
For in that moment thoroughly good Indian
changed into the worst of the bad; by that SIM
pie act every in the posse helped to set in motion
the grim tragedy that not to be ended until two
years later, and only then after Almighty Voice had
taken dreadful toll in human life.
So they took Almighty Voice back to Prince
Albert, handcuffed, and the time champion, who
had been accustomed to hear his progress greeted
with roar of cheers, rode elon through the long
stretch of River-ave. amid silence profound as
it was full of pity.
