The circumstances of the tragedy e are ol a most shocking nature. Wham's 1 bouse is on one side of the road and on the other side lives Thomas Simpson, a Confederate veteran who has a large family. Miss < Coleman, a sister-in-law of Wham, was visiting at his house, and on Tuesday Miss Coleman and Mrs, Wham went to Clinton on a n visit. During the day a note addressed to j Miss Mattle, a 18-year-old daughter of the _ Simpson's, was received at their home. The . note was unsigned; but It advised the young d woman of the absenoe of Mrs. Wham and her slater and invited her over. Mrs. Simpson ? got hold of the note and went with herdaugh* . ter across to Wham's. They found Wham alone, and when Mrs. Simpson demanded an explanation Wham told her that Mattle and be had an understanding about the Invitation at a convenient opportunity. Mra. Simpson _ told her buabBhd, and he went after Wham, who refused to come oat. The matter dragged 6 along for two days and grew worse as it grew nldor Th? whnlp nelehhorhood became r aroused, and tbere was talk of lynching ? Wham. Mrs. Wham took tbe side of ber busband and called apon L. W. Ramage to help make peace. Ramage went to Wbam _ and tried to get him to go over to Simpson's; B( but Wbam refused on tbe ground tbat be r, would be lynobed. After awhile Ramage 7. tried to compel Wham to go at the point of a pistol and Wham shot Ramage dead with a h rifle. The crowd that had gathered sought to p enter tbe house. Mrs. Wbam screamed and begged, saying that ber busband would kill them. In this way she held the orowd at bay for nearly two boars. The crowd thought that Wham was standing guard In the house and everybody was afraid to approach tbe ,, body of Ramage. At length tbe sheriff ar- , rived and a search developed that Wham bad L skipped Immediately after tbe shooting and " since he had been looking forward for two " days to tbe flight, be was no doubt fully pre- d pared. Had it not been for tbe killing of 5: Ramage, Wbam would have been lynched, . and bad It not been for tbe acting of Mrs. Wbam, the orowd would have discovered tbe flight ot ber faithless busband mucb sooner than otherwise.?Yorkville Enquirer. Jnst About Girls. g Many bright girls, with floe, well-filled minds and even with some sense of humor, J are dnll as clams In company. In a parlor some shallow, rattling girl, who does not A. know much, can outshine tbem comeleteiy. { ' By tbelr reticence tbe girls of this silent clash 0 gain an unmerited name among men for be cl ing stupid and slow and backward. Most men who oomplaln that glr's do cot say anything worth while bearing bave themselves to blame. They expect a girl to entertain them while tbey sit silent without an ? idea Id tbelr heads, and when they do talk to L1 girls tbey utter generally little but vapid compliments and sentlnental, silly trifles Tbe man who talks sensibly and seriously to ? some of these reticent girls and thereby , draws tbem out. may find a good deal more ^ Information and solid thought than he antlci- p Dates. Real Intellectual ability does not ruo ? much to chatter, and tbe woman whose opinions are worth something is oiten chary or throwing them at every man who happens to Bit down beside her. Brightness In conversation is a matter r( more of temperament than of brains. Persona who think quickly and do not go to the g| bottom of a subject are apt to be the better ? and readier talkers In a parlor. They will utter two opinions while a wiser bead Is formlhg one. They do not prize exaolltude and correctness so much as cleverness and effect. They would rather express a false sentiment ri brilliantly than % true sentiment dully. They help to keep the company In a lively h state for an evening, but they would be very exasperating matrimonial mates, for one cannot stand moro than a lew hours of glittering conversation without feeling pain. Cultivate the reticent girl. She may be a f< perfect fool, but she may also have a very 0 clear, original Intellect, and when you know w her well and win her respect and confidence li she may turn out a far more entertalnlDg g profitable converser than her shallower sis c ter, who chatters so gayly, so frothily and so li Incessantly, as a rule, people who talk ex- tl ceedlngly well on first acquaintance become & tlresomefafter extended Intercourse. Tbe reticent people wear beBt because, as a class, they think best. A girl who la Bllent when she has nothing to say makes a belter oom panlon for life than a girl who always thinks si she has something to say. Among girls, as b among men, tbe ablest minds, the trueRt friends and tbe most agreeable companions d are not always the ones tbat talk most. Oft- b en a girl who sits as qnlet as a mouse In company does thinking enough for a whole faml p iy. . . - C Pointed Paragraph!. Jealously at beBt is but a chronic case of r self-love.

Many dealers In the smaller towns nH anmo rpfnilera in the cities lail to ise their windows in the best advanBge. To most retailers a well-dressed window will prove in results only secndary to good newspaper advertising -and the window advertisement osts nothing except the time and bought necessary to prepare the dismay. Window dressing can be done u dull forenoons when there is little rade ccming in, and should be deleated to certain of the employes who isplay some sense of proportion and rtistic instincts. Do not make a lodge-podge of the windows. Disilay one or two lines at a time and hange the display often. No matter iow well a window may be arranged L is not good enough to remain inefiaitely. If you are making a specal drive on certain lines, give promi lenceto the same articles in your winow display, aud always, always, have asily-seen price tickets attached to ach article. Did you ever staud in the'street outidea weil-d rested show window? If lot, do so. Notice the number of people who pass^it, nearly every one givng a glance at it, and manv stopping or a closer examination. Many, inleed, enter the shop and enquire about he goods ; many others will do so ater, when they have more lime at heir disposal. Some of those passing may not have een the Arm's newspaper ads ; others lave already noticed the ads aud the lock in the window should be chosen o as to oack up the statements made n the advertising. The windows hould be a "clincher" which will convince the doubters. Never, never, lisplay old style goods in the winlows, no matter how low the price narks, unless you wish to drive away he better class of trade. If you wish o eret rid of the out-of date goods, cork them off ou country customers >r others who are not particular hout style, telling them frankly that he goods are of a previous season's nuke, and therefore sold at a low >rice. x I said at the beginning of thisaricle that good window display was inly secondary to good newspaper advertising. Do you notice in how nany particulars the same principles ;overn the two kinds of advertising? ^ few lines advertised at a time; the idverfisement or window display ihanged often; artistic and attractive lisplays; poods prominently priced. V.I1 the difference there is, while in he ad, one must give word pictures >f the goods, often accompanying hem by cuts ; in the window adverisement the goods speak for themelve>1. See that they have every op>ortuuity to speak convincinely. Byron .Howard Kecking a Customer. Every man in business i8 looking or some one to buy everything he arries in stock. He is anxious to eet ome one interested in every article. Vheu the goods have beeu put on the helves he is at once interested in ceting them out of stock and into other lands, and the sooner he gets the oods into a customer's hands the beter is the movement as a business enture. The profit may not lie as reat as the merchant would make yere he to hold the goods for mauy oonths, but he would then perhaps, ake chauces on their selling at a proIt at all. The best way therefore, to et the customer is to be after him arly, and get him into the interesting iart of the conversation with re'eruce to values and stocks, and keep he matter interesting until the cusomer appreciates the good to be obainednowand the advantage of buyng now. Most merchants really unlerstand these poiuts and are anxious o unload as fast as they can after oading up. They want to fill their tock with good things and the" are nxious to get the goods into the hands f the appreciative in the community. V good article is the stock makes the tock look better ; but a good article old to a good customer widens the innience or appreciative purciiasers .nd gives the store a speaking friend '/ho will say where she got the goods ,nd how good she thinks they are. n planning for business therefore, a lecessity is to have the stock that will (lease the customer' and, having the article, to get its appreciative features lefore the people as early as possible. Pell as many good points of ihe aricle as is possible, find keep the peo>le interested all through the season o insure their buying. If talking of he attractiveness of the goods will >ot sell them, the quality ought to be mproved so that the people would be nore willing to come in aud buy. rhe quick sale helps to make a fair irofit and the man who has the stock o offer and who Is able to tell about t attractively and temptingly will ;et his profit without delaj. Be Watch fa I. The wise merchant knows when to idopt new plans and how to accom)lish any given purpose through the deas of others. It is well to try to urnish all the ideas, but it is foolish 0 turn down a good idea just because iorue other person furnished it. What is needed is business, not origirnlity. If all the business could be lone by one m?n and all the ideas be urnisned by another there would soon >e a change of conditions, for the man loing the business without ideas vould soon be convinced that the nan with ideas was eucroaching on lis territory. The merchant with deas and business will he able to use lie ideas to hold the business; and he merchant with business and withmt ideas will either have to adopt the deas of others or be willing to let 1 part of his business go by default, t is not advised that a merchant be a >ilferer of ideas, because that merihant will soon come to grief. The nan who has not enough ability to irgani/.e some things may not have nough ability to apply the things iriginated by others, but the one who uakes a poi.it of picking up suirgesions from here, there and everywhere, irhif>h will lieln in his business, ami hen busies himself seeing that his >usiuesH keeps up to the ideas, will iave reason to be glad of what he .dopted, and to be proud of his work, ncombinding ideas aud business, to lis own advantage.
