entire stock.

not one week later.

have won reputation all over the
county for square dealing.

no fake sale" but the real thing. The
firm is to be dissolved and the retiring
partner wants his money Nov. LIST.

gives the public chance to buy the best
shoes made from clean fresh stock at
prices that are not likely to be quoted
again in this county.
Be on hand Saturday morning or as
soon thereafter as possible.

Cousla 1tinople, Feb. 15-The de-
cisive victory OF the young Turks over
former G and Vizier Kiamil Pssha,
which forced his resignation and the ell
ovation of Hilmi Pashs to the Office, has
practically shorn the sultan oil the last
vestige of his autocratic power, in the
opinion of foreign diplomats.
The young Turks are as inslstent as
ever that they have no thought Of de-
posing the sultan, so long as he adheres
to the constitution, but the rulers posi-
ton is recognized as dangerous and
startling developments are anticipated.
Hilmi Pasha is mere tool in the hands
of the young Turks, which was never
better demonstrated than when he at
tempted to explain his attitude to par
lament, after his appointment to the
Office. For fear that he would say some
thing thst might prove embarrsiug, the
young Turks prevented him from speak

The widespread dissffection in The
army aud navy is cited as proof iha

establishment of an oligarchy equalliug

sultan. The feet and army have both

would not need to be warned so often about
this fatal disease, which, when neglected, IN

of millions Of lives every year. Yet Catsrh
is easily cured if the night treatment Is en-
ployed.
Catarrh is causei by germs in the blood

Although the effects are often seen IN the
form Of pimples, rash, eczema or dry aly
skin. the trouble is internal, and can never

which is absorbed and carried by the lood

JUDGE MANN.

Judge Mann, candidate for governor
Of Virginia, on Saturday night in a
formal statement given out in Richmond
supplements his denials of au editorial
denuncistton in which he was attacked
on his Confederate record, his career in
the legislature, his position on the q1es'
ton of temperance, the direct charge
being made that coalition exists between
the anti-salOOn lfaguers and the demo-
cratic ring politicians for the purpose Of
electing Judge Mann.
Judge Mann, after giving his record
as a Confederate soldier and as attorney
for the Norfolk aud Western Railway
while a member OF the State Legislature,
denies that the Anti-Saloon League has
made any compact with the democrats,
or auybody else, for the iurtherauce OF
his ambition to be governor, and says II
is absurd to believe that the suti-saloor
convention gave any promise to the l'quol
men for the purpose of siding his cam
paigu, winding up with fat denial that
he is the candidate of any "ring."
Judge Mann declined TO say what po-
sition he will take on the question o.
Statewide prohibition in the event o.
his election So governor. He said that
he is conducting his campaign on a
local.opiion platform, aud that it will
be time enough for him to anuounc CT
himself on the State-E issue after hi
election and when the issue arises.
