JOE Shelby TO
Change QUARTERS
Bio Removal Sale is Announced in
This Issue of The
News.

That "a good name is better to be
chosen than riches" is as true in the
mercantile world as any other. The
good will of an establishment is
based largely on the confidence of
the public; confidence in the firm and
in the goods they sell. Fortunate in
this respect is Joe Shelby, whose sue
cess in the mercantile business in
Hattiesburg has been a source of
qualification to very many friends.
Mr.. Shelby is now prepared to let
out another link-and do business on
a bit larger scale. He has purchased
the large brick store house on Pine
street now occupied by Moore Bros.
and as soon as that firm moves to
their new home on Main street, will
have the Pine street store nicely re-
paired and handsomely furnished, and
will move in with a largely increased
stock
In the mean time Mr.. Shelby is
going to close out a large part of his
present stock. 1t is absolutely true
that it is easier to move money than
goods, and it is certainly more salts
factory. So in today's News Mr.
Shelby announces his removal sale
to start Saturday and quotes prices
on many articles. This announce
ment will have an immediate effect
for whenever Joe Shelby announces
a cut in prices, the price is cut, ant
the people take immediate advantage
of the opportunity.

No RELIEF FOR CORCORANs.
Dublin Jury Can't Agree xs to sanity o
Man Who Lost a Fortune.

Special Cdoie Despatch 10 THE SUN
LONDON. March s.-The jury which has
been inquiring into the sanity of Edward
Corcoran, who signed away his California
fortune. disagreed to-day and was dis.
charged. Before the jurors went out
four physicians testified that Corcoran, in
their opinion. was sane and moreover a
man of more than usual intelligence
considering his antecedents
A. ID. Piatt. American Vice Consul al
Dublin. was on the stand during the day
and testified that Corcoran had attested
number of documents in his presence
The man. he said, seemed to be intelligent
and fully aware of the nature of the papers
he WAS asked to sign. Mr. Piatt described
visit of the two Corcorans to his Office
for the purpose of signing the agreement
with Wright
MIR. Piatt asked Corcoran why he was
signing away half his property, and he
replied that he had not the money to press
claim for the whole. He and his son
relied on Wright and thought it better
to get half than 10 spend money on a
mere chance to get the whole. Piatt
understood that Wright bore all the costs
Counsel for Corcoran in closing his
case commented on the fact that O'Neill
had failed to go on the stand and face
a cross-examination. He alluded to the
report that Mrs. O'Neill had received a
share of the estate which Corcoran had
inherited. whereupon a female voice
in the gallery shouted indi gnantly. Il got
nothing"
The disagreement ri the jury leaves
the financial affairs of tho Corcorans
just as they We're when the elder man
was found in poverty in Dublin.
