 MADE A TIMELY RESCUE.
Young Woman Swimmer Was Ex- hausted and Her Escort Becoming so In River Above Allyn's Point.

As merry party of young people from this citl were on their way down the river on a recent afternoon in the motorboat Sherry, of which Richard Hourigan and David RydhoIfn are the pToprietors and shippers, an empty canoe was deserted nIoored at some distance out in the stream. Quite a number of feet away from this craft two people, young man and young woman, were seen enjoying a swim in the waters of the Thames. This was off Long Ridge, just above Allyn's Point. As the launch narty. drew near CT it was evident that the swimmers were in trouble, for the young woman had become nearly exhausted by her efforts, and the man was having aSdif- ficult time in supporting her at the surface of the water. Accordingly the launch hove by to render assistance, and the rope that was dexterously thrown to the swimmers by Moses Portelance was welcome thing to them. They were pulled out of the river into the launch, and then safely transferred into their canoe, in which they padded ashore.

 Address by L. o. Smith.
 At the close of Secretary Gates re- port. which was in many respects a touching one Vice President Noland called upon Leonard O. Smith for re- marks. He said in part
 It is not my purpose now nor do believe it is in harmony with your wishes that I should at this time ex- press any fulsome praise of our ser vices in the Civil war. Whenever think of my own service in the war ii seems so slight and the time of my enlistment so short that I shrink from placing any value upon it.
 But, comrades is not this true when applied to every individual soldier and every regiment? Weighed individually our services were of trif1ing value, but weighed collectively the results are grand, and of incalculable value. It is sometimes said of men, they did bet ter than they knew" in other words they did not realize how much they were accomplishing and this was true of our efforts.
 All the honor ana all the glory that came to our regiment came to us dur ing the overtime that we remained in service after our term of enlistment expired.
 Instead of leaving for home at the end of nine months we remained in service one year, and it was our last three months that gave us any right to feel that we had been of any value to the government. During that three months we had an honorable share in the capture of Port Hudson and our victory opened the Mississippi river

Don't goI Come right here" say the merchants of this town in today's Bulletin.
 Wonderful how these live bus mess men anticipate your needs.
 Right now they are cleaning their August stocks and pianning what they shall offer you at Christmas.
 The steamers and trains are bringing in your fall attire planned long ago.
 But the important part in the merchants fall and winter plans is to start with fresh, new goods.
 He must sell what he has right now. That's why August is a month of unusual retail sales. Better clear shelves and a temporary loss, than capital tied up in summer merchandise.
 It pays to watch the adver- tising every day in the year, but it will never pay you better than right now in the month of August.
 The time to buy is when the other fellow is anxious to sell and never are the merchants offering better inducements than now.
