GAME SEASON OPENS NOV. /
Partridge Shooting Will Be Lawful
Next Tuesday. The Outlook Is
Good for Lots of Game.

Good for Lots of Game.
There will be a rush to the fields
and woods next Tuesday by the local
sportsmen. The season for partridge
shooting will open November 1st.,
and the prospects for a good hunt
ing season for this game, which is
probably the most popular in this
section of the country, is extremely
good. The continued warm weather
this fall has prevented very much
shooting by the sportsmen of game
that is already in season, and the
prospects for an unusually good
hunting season in nearly every kind
of game is said to be promising.
The warm, dry spring which was
prevalent this year, followed by the
steady summer, with no unusual
amount of heavy rains in the early
part, has resulted in an abundance of
game, it is said The number of
partridges in this vicinity is said by
some to be the largest in the past
decade.
The deer season opened on Sep
TENDER 1st., and the season for wild
turkey and ducks is also on, but
there has been little interest shown
in trailing and shooting yet.
The first of November will really
begin the hunting season for the
sportsmen in this vicinity. Besides
the opening of the partridge season
the ban on other game that is found
found in this section be off.

W. appreciate that sort of custom

81 ONE TROUBLE
ohopt ladies' selecting shoes this

JUST A TOUCH
If winter made the people flock to

81 HAVE QUIT

100 Million Dollars
Worth OF Shoes

These stupendous figures, yet this is the yearly
amount that the South spends for shoes AS curiosity
these figures may attract you for minute but the most
curious thing about them is that three quarters of this
money is regularly sent away from the South and the
South is that much poorer for it.
You trade at Southern shoe store You give the
dealer your money You probably buy western or
northern made shoe When the dealer pays his BILL this
money less a small per cent to the dealer, goes north
west and the South is that much poorer.
Keep your money at home. Let it work for better
times better wages factories work for
Southern people.
Ask your dealer for The Craddocl Shoe Made in
the South, by white labor for Southern gentlemen The
best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for
$3.50 and $500 Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays
in the South and pays Southern labor, Southern grocers

THE POINT OF THE JOKE.
IL Wac Difficult For tho Englishnan
but He Finally Saw II.

A party of EnGllshmen were in Chi
rago sightseeing some years ago
They were entertained at dinner by
some Chicago Englishmen who 1--we
lived In American long enough to have
keen appreciation OF the American
idea Of n Joke. During the evening all
the members Of the party told stories
or sung songs and entertained uccord-
ing 10 their several abilities.
One Of the English visitors could see
nothing funny in the stories told by
the Chicago EflEiislmen. Every time
one OF them would tell n good Amer
fcan story at which most OF the party
would laugh uprOariously this particu-
lar EnSliShman would adjust his mon
ocle TO bis eye aud. looking wonder
ingly around the tnble. would remark.
''But. say. I don't zee anything IN
that to laugh at, y knaw."
One OF the Chicago men finally re-
cited an original poem. The poem told
OF IN EnCliShman who had come to
America md after being In this coun-
try only short time had died and
gone 10 another and much warmer
country. Ten years passed. and one
day an imp passing that way heard
the EnSliShnian laughing uproa riously.
Why. what are you laughing att"
inquired the imp
"Oh. oh. Oh. such n funny story as
heard in America. Oh. 1t was so fun
N.Y." laughed the victim. and he held
his lends 10 his sides and almost dou-
blcd up with mcrriment.
"a story you heard. Why. you've
heard no sorry" said the imp. You've
been dead ten years"
Yes. ycS. l KNOW. know" cried
the mr. Put I've just seen the
Joke"
This poem set the table In O roar

Mhara Ears Grow Sham.

A French balloonist has recorded the
clearness with which sounds coming
from the surface Of the ground can be
heard Mt high altitude. At the
height OF 5000 feet the ringing OF
horses boots on hard road was
clearly audible. AZ 1000 feet the
splashing sound made by ducks In
pond was heard. The barking OF dogs
and the Growing OF cocks could be
heard at seven or eight thousand feet.
These sounds penetrated through q
white floor OF cloud that hid the earth
from sight. says Harper's Weekly. In
TIE perfect silence OF the air the In
vestigator was startled by what seem
ed stealthy footsteps close at hand. IL
was ascertained TINT this noise was
caused by the stretching Of the ropes
and the yielding OF the silk as the bal
looa continued to expand.
