The New York Store

To enumerate the retail estab-
lishments of Barbourville and
leave out one that is deserving of
mention, would be unfair on the
part of The Advocate and unjust
to its readers. Reference is made
to the New York Store, of which
Messrs. Sherman and Gavin are
proprietors. This is one of the
few stores that carries a large
and varied stock and it is with
the greatest comfort that its
many patrons are enabled to shop
here, securing the best grade of
goods at the lowest cost. The
stock is one of the most compre-
hensive in Eastern Kentucky,
consisting of everything pertain
ing to dry goods, notions, ladies'
and gentlemen's furnishing, etc.
While a comparatively new firm
in Barbourville, yet the proprie-
tor have already shown their
worth as merchants of the most
progressive type. carrying in
stock at all times the most desir-
able grade of goods to be found
in any alike establishment in this
section. They endeavor to carry
everything the average buyer
could want, and at prices that
always make lasting friend of
the customer. An inspection of
their large stock will convince
you that it is needless to send to
Knoxville or any Of the larger
cities for your purchases, as the
goods handled by this firm will
compare in point of quality and
prices with those to be found
anywhere. Their special white
goods sale which was inaugura-
ted a few days ago, is attracting
the attention of hundreds of buy
ers from all sections. High-class
goods are being sold at great
money-saving prices. If you are
not a patron of this store, inves-
tigate the line of goods and the
methods of the these popular
merchants and you will no doubt
become enc. They handle the
Walk Over and Educator line of
shoes.

Will We Have War.

The alarming news comes to us
that the MeXicans have killed
twenty of our soldiers. and that
II are taken prisoners: and yet
the same watchful waiting goes
on. 1t is said that the 20 killed
were from the tenth Cavalry,
and that they are our colored
boys. and that the II prisoners
are also colored. Well if this be
true, they are Americans, true to
their Government, patriotic as
went forth to execute the orders
Of their superiors, they are some
mothers son, they are someone's
brother, they are loved by some
one, some poor heart is breaking
though it be in a dark bosom,
yet the pangs of sorrow goes as
deep as it would in the bosom of
a King. Prince or Potentate, that
mother Of her darling boy has
the same sorrow at the news of
her son having fallen, as would
any Queen or Princess. We
would not give one of our Color
ed boys for every Greaser in that
whole Country, they are Ameri-
cans, and we are for Americans
first last and all the time.
This watchful waiting has gone
for enough yes; too far. but
looks now that it will continue to
go on and on until we shall have
made a change in the administra-
tion and put into power another
who will not be harrassed by
every wind that blows. The
Evening Post comes out this
morning with glaring headlines,
that "Carranza would a.voi d
war. OF course he would, all
he has to do is to send a message
that he is sorry that these mat
ters have come up, and that ends
it, or if it should fail, and the
authorities sends a demand to
the "Defacto President of a So
called Republic he will drop a

Blue Jackets were sent to Vera

for the Lowell club. They may have
criticized, but probably justly, and
with the sole purpose that such criti-
cism might result in better things for
the Lowell baseball public. Lord
takes the appearance of poor loser

for his failure.
Baseball writer's are the greatest as
sets the game has. Can you imagine
how much interest there would be in
baseball if all the writer's laid up
their typewriters and didn't write a
single line about the game. The wri-
ters in the first place create the inter
est and then exploit the doings Of the
individual so that the interest is not
allowed TO die out, provided. of course
the players do their share. when the
players fall down, then the interest
dies out.
In nearly every instance a baseball
writer is fan. Personally he wants
to do all he can to promote the game.
and every line he writes is q boost.
When he criticizeS he does so because
he feels that it's warranted-there are
no Interior motives behind his criti-
cisms, merely a struggle TO remedy
conditions that are not satisfactory to
the baseball public at large"
