chickens with sickening regularity.
He got him bulldog A large fe-

and an undershot jaw, and turned the
savage thing loose in the back yard
The chickens continued to disappear
One night Marsh awakened to find
the dog playfully responding to the
call of the negro who was getting the
chickens. They were just like pals
together, this dog and the negro,
Marsh says.
The dog, needless to say, went the
way of the darkened chute.
Then Marsh got the black snake. 1t

IN RUSH FOR BARGAINS
Phenomenal Sale at GEORGE
D. WhGatIGy's

Americas has witnessed many spec
ial sales in recent years but it may be
said without fear of contradiction that
the Warlick sale of the George D.
Wheatley stock easily ranks all others
in magnitude and in the interest evil
denced by people in the general STAN
pede there to buy goods
The sale opened at o'clock yester-
day morning, and one minute later
800 people had surged into the store
and completely overwhelmed the force
of fourteen clerks in attendance.
An hour later the crowd had in
creased to such extent that Mr. War
lick closed the doors until his force Of
clerks could be augmented. Ten 9TH
ers We're put to work, thus increasing
the force to twenty-four salespeople.
And even then it was difficult to be
waited upon promptly.
The people knew the value of the
goods thus offered at sale" prices
they knew, too, that the entire stock
was new and fresh in every depart
ment, and they went early and by
hundreds to get at the bargains. From
o'clock until late last evening the
bargain rush" continued.
The sales during the first hours was
at the rate of $500 per hour, easily.
Il have conducted many sales" said
Mr.. Warlick, glancing up for a mo-
ment from the overlooking till, but
this beats all others"
The Wheatley stock, as everyone
knows, is one of the best selected and
most complete ever offered in Amert-
Gus, and it is not strange that buyers
thus crowd the special sale. This will
continue until the stock is cleaned out

Marsh, in marching home, met with

abused reptile to the coal shed. Now

thieves abound. That afternoon two
negroes were caught peering over the
fence at the snake coiled in the sun.
