The (?overnor and Ills sta tl'of both States will attend ami participate in the exer cises, and the occasion will no douht nt tract a large crowd of spectators. i< * mm The Pennsylvania Legislature ad journed last week without electing ll United States Senator. The Republi cans were divided on the re-election of Senator (Juay, and neither faction would yield. The IJovernor, however, has appointed Senator (Juay to serve until the Legislature meets again next year. Atlanta has a "spitting" ordinance which prohibits the spitting on side walks and in street cars. If you go to Atlanta be careful where you spit or you will K<'t "pulled." This example should malee some people blush with shame over this way and should be hint enough to convince them that it is not nice to even spit on church doors arni in stores. The April report of the statistician m the Department of Agriculture. Washington, shows the average condi tion of winter wheat was overs per i mt. below last year's report of same date, and nearly 7 11ercent, lower than thc average for ten years. This condi tion exists in 211 of the MO Stilles grow ing winter wheat. This will no doubt cause the price ol' dour to advance. lt is reported from Washington that nt least ~"> per cent of the volunteers who enlisted in the army during the war with Spain will apply for pensions. If this be true, ?ind the applicants arr I met with tho usual success, the pension f rolls will bc increased many millions of dollars. The use of hagan's embalmed beef will lie priam fm io evidence that the applicants should ne pensioned. il is said that in South Carolina, (?eorgin and most of the Southern states that an agreement willi be en tered into between the Republican and D?mocratie leaders for a division of the appointment of census supervisors and enumerators. It is expected that "hose who will he selected to take the next census in the South will be evenly divided among the Democrats and Re publicans. Mrs. Annie ileinphill Neuner, wife of Dr. G. A. N'entrer, a leading physi cian of Abbeville, died al her home in that town last Sunday morning. Mrs. N'euffer was the eldest ?laughter of <ren. H. H. Ileinphill, and before her marriage was associated with her father in editing the Abbeville Medium. She wa? a brilliant, charming woman, pos sessing many noble virtues of both mind and heart, and was greatly sul inired by a host of friends throughout the State. We tender our sympathies to the bereaved family.

FELLOW-CITIZENS, LAMES, GENTLEMEN ANP CHILDREN: lt affords us no little pleasure to be with you this evening, because we have been pouring our tale of woe in your kind ears for ten long, weary years, and you have never turned a deaf ear to our supplications. Our experience lins proven that a straight, honest statement of a proposition is all you ask, but is what you must have. Our efforts always being on this line, we are brought more closely together, and when we have asked you for bread, or its equivalent, we have not been given a stone, nor have we delivered you pebbles instead of grain. And now to draw the cord which binds "thee to me" more tightly we have contracted to fool away about one thousand dollars worth of Shoes-a great sacrifice compared with regular prices. With this in view, we have secured thc sample lines made up by two of the largest and best Manu facturers in this country. If a factory makes only one pair of good Shoes in a whole year we believe they would be the sample pair. Does it strike you. I that way. Now, remember, these goods came only one pair of a kind, and if I that pair fits you-you have a bargain for the asking. Now, would you be doing yourself justice to pass them by. None so blind who do not wish td see. We put one of these sample lines on sale last Thursday, and you should have witnessed the sport. Thc second line we will offer beginning to day, and we want to see you fellows in at tho rat-killing. To illustrate thc value of thc bargains we actually offer in these goods it is enough to tell you what some of our competitors are doing to try to head-off the rush. Some two or three of them have gotten out their old stock of odd si/.cs and ancient styles, threw away the boxes, and spread the Shoes out on counters and tables like ours, and would have you believe they are selling samples, too. Some folks always ready to try to do like us. It is always easy to buy san pies, but the opportunity to buy samples, made expressly for sam* pie purposes by the manufacturers themselves, and consequently the very best they eau make, does not come often, nor to many people at all. Listen what some of our customers are saying abont us. A lady bought sixteen pairs, and told her husband that she was about to pass our door when, she reckons, the Lord directed her to come in. Another lady, seeing a lot that was carried home by a friend to select from, nabbed one fine pair, and came right on to our Store and got two more pairs. Two gentlemen met on the street, stopped and planted their shapely, well-dressed understandings on thc sidewalk for inspection, and were about to advise each other to attend our exhibition and get shod, when each discovered that the other had already been to see us and was all heeled. One little girl insisted on keeping her feet on the seat at Sunday School "because," she said, "I must take care of these Shoes ; they are the best J ever* had. Mama bought them at the 10c. Store." A hapny old fellow that never saw such values before says : '"I can wear Shoe.i even in tho Summer-time now." We also have a pretty line of 50o. Shirts which we will sell you at 25c. each.
