will show some new lasts in one of

have seen on the market.
THE COLD SNAP
drove the exposed feet to our store
in crowds and they were all COM
fortabIv shod. That cushion sole
shoe is making US new customers
and still pleasing the old ones.
DURING THE FAIR
which was such a signal success
the people took advantage of the
opportunity to select many winter
shoes from our immense stock, and
all who expressed themselves said
we had the prettiest assortment
they ever saw IN Dawson. We have
made special study of the needs
Of the feet of this entire section and
the results are gratifying.

the way and will hold enough for
most anyone, or two.
THE NEW SHIPMENT

landed in Dawson Friday, and they
are now ready for your inspection.

you, but we do not handle the cheap

THREE WANT PISTOL LICENSE
Applications Are Filed in Ordinary's
Office. Must Give 500 Bond With
BOndsman Worth 81 200.

DOhuSnlan worth SI,1UO.
Ordinary Cheatham says three APP
plications have been filed in his Of
fee for the legal right to carry
pistol in the open. OF course no
one ever will get the right to carry
one concealed. All three of the ap-
plicants are white, and not a single
colored individual has yet asked for
authority to go armed
Under the new state law it is un-
lawful to carry a weapon even when
it can be seen unless a license to do
so has been obtained from the Ordi-
nary of the county.
All who are given authority to go
armed must give bond of 500, and
the bondsman must not only be good
for the amount of $780, but also
be good above that amount for the
big homestead of $1,700 allowed
by law
Not only is the Ordinary required
to get good bond whenever he is
sues a license, but the duty is also
put upon him of determining wheth-
er the character of the applicant is
such that he is justified in licens-
ing him to carry weapon in public
So Judge Cheatham, unless he is
thoroughly satisfied that an appli-
cant is law abiding man in dispo-
sition and otherwise a man who can
be entrusted with a weapon in pub
lie, will not issue license
While the law is undoubtedly a
good one it's effectiveness is very
much questioned. The vast major
ity of pistol toters will probably go
on "toteing" them without regard
to either the new or old law.

A GHOSTLY AFFAIR.
Miss Chap Saville Entertains Pupils
at Halloween Party.


at Halloween Party.
Miss Chap Saville entertained the
members Of her music class at a
Halloween party Saturday evening.
The house was lighted entirely with
JACKIE lanterns, which threw a dim,
ghostly light over the witches which
stood in the corners of the room.
Ghosts in long white robes greeted
the guests and led them from place
to place to be introduced to the
ghosts of their ancestors, which ut
tered deep groans from time to time
Witches on broom sticks, were seen
on every side, while JACKIE lanterns,
black cats, owls and bats entirely
covered the walls In a dark recess
of the room the fortunes of the
guests were told by a ghostly figure
draped in white, with high pointed
cap, while in a dark colset, dimly
lighted by one JACKIE lantern, each
was shown her future husband. In
the center of the room on a table
draped in black and yellow were
small bOxGg@ tied with long yellow
a thimble, one a dime and one a
ring. The others held each three
candy grains of corn to be taken at
bed time to bring dreams of the
owners future husband. To Miss
Frances Peddy, who drew the ring
was given the prize, a silver vanity
box, pencil and mirror. Late in the
evening while the guests were seat
ed in a circle in the dimly lighted
studio one of the ghosts told a ghost
story. Bobbing for apples, jump
ing over a candle stick and other
Hallowee en- games were then en-
joyed. At the close of the game
delightful refreshments were served
Misses jamie Bush, Mary Collins
Bessie Pye, Mamie Deubler and May
Clark assisted in entertaining.
