books and papers were in pile on the
floor. knowing that no valuables had
been taken here Mr. Burris went to
the post Office department and made
an investigation. While the burglar
had met with little more success here
he did not make much of haul. He
secured about $l.5O in money besides
a few stamps, not more than one or
two dollars worth When one of the
clerks at Greer's grocery opened the
cash register he discovered there
were no pennies in 1t. this being un-
usual, as quite a number were always

The PARIS Knox Shoes for Men
are coming in now, and dare say
that the various styles in this line for
Spring will please the trade.
The designing is excellent, each
different last carrying the leather
nicely. The line embraces shoes for
young men and older men, and
shoes for dress and business wear.
l am satisfied that no line Of
$3.50 shoes ever offered by any
dealer in Ohio had more merit.
These shoes made especially for the Par
store in of the largest and best factories in the
country.
In letter received few days ago Mr.. M. Joseph
Murphy who takes the orders for PARIS Knox shoes
said:
"Am pleased to tell you that these or
ders are receiving the special attention Of
not only Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Sears but Of
every foreman in the factory Although not
registered here, you are pretty well known
III tuo IdctOTy among TIC IOTeMeu III tu0 uu-
ferent departments and they have you re-
corded as very critical shoe man, and real
ize that they have to 60 some to please"
It's the man who buys PARIS Knox shoes who
gets the benefit of this reputation have gained for
being critical.
1t costs me just 10 cents per pair to be crit
ca-and for specifying that certain conditions must
be met--than it would cost if bought $3.50 shoes
without these specifications and took the product as
per factory
/ specify among other things, that no compost
ton leather shall be used for nsoes, counters toe
boxes. Some shoemakers believe that the compost
tion leather is all right but have to be-
leve that it will give good service the real sole
leather.
There is thing certan--that is that you will
get a neat, stylish well-made and vaue-gving shoe

there are three active candidates at
the present time. They are: Earle
Hodges, present secretary of state
T. Henry Downing of Harrison and
Frank E. Clinton, of Dardanelle.
In the other state offices many of
of the candidates will be unopposed
Gov Hays has a clear field, although
candidates have until December 80 to
announce their candidacy. The only
possibility spoken of is State Treasurer
joan w. Crockett. Mr.. Crockett will
m3ke no definite statement of his in
