OPENS INEMIS1AY, JAHAY15196 After careful investigation we find that the recent money panic, or what the Wall Street financiers call stringency, has depleted our bank accounts so much that we are compelled to either make some arrangements to raise money for the mainteinance of the business or take the inevitable consequences. And it being a fact that the banks would not let out money on mercan tile security, the only course left for us to do is to try to raise money through a special sale. A sale that will eclipse anything ever contemplated in this part of the State. Realizing as we do, 1,TE SCARCIT 01FMNE among our patrons. as well as ourselves, we will endeavor to make it profitable for those who are able to take advantage of the enormous reduction we will make for this sale. This PANIC SALE will last only long enough to raise money to pay our debt and we may close it any day. Therefore, we would urge all who wish to take advantage of this GREAT REDUCTION to come. early and not to be left out. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF DEPENDABLE GOODS. We have about $20, 000 worth of new, select and up-to-date Merchandise, which is placed at your mercy. We will have no special price for our goods at this PANIC SALE. Worth, value and cost will not be considered, and you buy the goods at your own price. We need the money, and cannot afford to dili-dali about the price or figure the loss; therefore we will not quote you prices in advance. In order to realize the enormous reduction at which our stock will be sold during this PANIC SALE your personal atendance is cordially invited. We need TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and if we sell that much in FIVE days the sale will close then and there, but if it takes three weeks to sell that much the sale will continue for three weeks or longer. This will be ASale itout Date r Prices. Come whenever you please and pay as much as you want, is there anything to equal it? During this PANIC SALE r.o creditlwill be extended to any one, everything must be paid cash for, nor will we exchange goods or return money under any circum stances. The object of this sale and the prices for which goods will be sold would not permit us to do either, as much as we would like to be considerate to our patrons.

Cumea Colda Pevents Pneumonia A REWARD OF FAITH. The Story of a ChuLrch Twice Struck by Lightning. A congregation in a hilly district in Ohio, says the Youth's Companion, bought a small tract of land and erected a church building upon it. Then the question of insurance came up. Mr. Sipes, the wealthiest member, who had contributed more than half the money needed for the new struc ture, declared that he did not believe in insurance. "This is the Lord's building. He'll take care of it," he said. His view prevailed, and there was no insurance. In a few weeks the building was struck by lightning and almost totally consumed by fire. An other one was erected. Mr. Sipes con tributing the greater portion of the fund as before. This time the demand was almost unanimous that it be in sured. but Mr. Sipes again objected on the same ground. "1f it burn down again, brethren," he said. "I'll agree to rebuild It my self." Again he carried his point. In less than a month the new church was struck by lightning again, and al though strenuous efforts were made to save it, the loss was almost total. "There must be some reason for this, brethren," said Brother Sipes. "I am going to find out what it is." Thereupon he employed a force of men to sink a shaft on the site of the twice destroyed church. Within a few days a rich vein of ore was found, and the church proper,.% was sold for many times the amount needed to buy land in another locality and build again. "I tell you, brethren," said Brother Sipes, "It pays to trust the Lord. He's a great deal better business manager than anybody in this congregation."

A FASHION FROM WAR. How Flat Watches Took Place of the Old Time "Turnips." When the neat man takes '.nto him self a watch as thin as parchment he little thinks that that thin watch re sults from army regulations. Up to the time of the allies taking Paris the ordinary watch was convex In shape and called from its outline a "turnip." The officers of tha Russian and other armies objected to this be cause its bulbous form mad3 the uni form of a man on parade look untidy, whetlwr it were carried In the coat or the fob. In Paris, however, they found that the watchmakers of t.he Palais Royal had contrived a chronometex which got over the difficulty. Flat watches were the fashion in Paris. The English when they ap peared in the streets of tie French' capital marched in not in gala dress such as the others wore, but In the raiment which they had wo :n on cam paign. Great was the impressior which their habiliments created, but thev at once adopted the smart fia1 watch iAd brought it back to England for~ our own manufacturers to copy. rLndon Standard. A PARASITE CREEPER. New Zealand's Vegetable Caterpillar Is a Most Peculiar PI2nt. The most extraordiun ry object I have ever seen is the New Zealand vegetable caterpillar. The rata is a parasite creeper whici first destroys its forest host and then crushes it to death and, usurping its skeleton, becomes a tree itself. If the rata seedling is dug up It is found to be springing not from a seed, but from the heE.d of a perfectly formed caterpillar. It is supposed by some that the caterpillar, which on dissection proves to be internally the exact counterpart of its living insect relative, swallows the tiny rata seed while living and, burrowing into the ground, becomes, instead of a chrysalis, the germinating home of the seed, which by some agency turns its unfortunate foster mother into wood. Others, however, contend the cater pillar itself is produced by the rata, urging in support of their theory that -if springing from a seed the shoot would grow out of different parts of the caterpillar instead of invariably growing out of the head. The Insec* vegetable is yellowish, about four i iies long and Is fully ex tended. I have seen them freshly dug up and others that have been kept for years, and all had the appearance of a perfect insect carved in wood.-Pear son's Weekly. How to beat an undertaker: Cough and coughing end in Coffin. Cure the cough, stop the coughin, and let under taker keep his Coffin. Rydale's Cough Elixir is the best and surest way of ac comlishing this result. Best because it contains the best remedies known to aid nature to cure a cough. Surest,be cause it positively does not contain opi ates or harmful drugs of any kind. Guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Law. Dr. W. E. Brown & Co, Reversed the Process. "Yes, sir, the major went in swim min', an' I'm blest ef a feller didn't come along an' steal all his clothes!" "An' what did he do then?" "Broke the record by goin' home In a barrel, instead o' the barrel goin' homE' in hima."-Atlanta Constitution. Shocks to the Ear. A succession of noises means a suc cession of shocks, says Country Life. The ear, unlike the eye, has no lid under which it may go to sleep, and indeed it has been proved that the sense of hearing is at work just after sleep comes on. An Obliging Cyclone. People whc want something bright and original may be referred to the story of a Texas cyclone that picked up a letter and delivered it to the per son to whom it was addressed, twenty miles away.-Toledo Blade. There are two old adages. "Haste makes waste" and make haste slowly, that everyone should employ when they undertake to cure in a few minutes with preparations containingMorphine, Opium, Chloroform and other opiates. They may stop the cough and cause sleep quickly, but they also dry up the secretions and constipate leaving oft times a far worse trouble. Rydale's Cough Elixir is guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Law to contain no opiates or harmful drugs of any kind or character. Think about it when --or one of the children have a cough. 1 L. a. ? rown & Co.' AN IMPLOSION. [t is the Opposite of an Explosion and Less Familiar. Every one knows what an explosion is, but its opposite, an implosion, is less familiar. At great depths in the sea the conditions are favorable for its production. At 2,500 fathoms the pressure is, roughly speaking, two and a half tons to the square inch-that is to say, several times greater than the pressure exerted by the steam upon the piston of a powerful engine. An interesting experiment to illus trate the enormous force of this deep sea pressure was made on the Alba tross, a government vessel engaged in deep sea exploration. A thick glass tube several in'ches in length full of air was hermetically sealed at both ends. This was wrap ped in flannel and placed in one of the wide copper cylinders used to protect deep sea thermometers when they are sent down with the sounding appa ratus. The copper cylinder had holes bored in It, so that the water had free access inside, round the glass. The case was then sent down to a depth of 2,000 fathoms and drawn up again. It was found that the cylinder was bulged and lent inward, just as if it had been crumbled inward by being violently squeezed. The glass tube Itself, within Its flannel wrapper, was reduced to a fine powder, almost like snow. The glass tube, it would seem, as It slowly descended, held out long against the pressure, but at last sud denly gave way and was crushed by the violence of the action to a fine powder. This process, exactly the reverse of an explosion, is termed an implosion. -Chicago Record-Herald. Question. When is a pain not a pain? Answer, when it is due to a condition that can be reached by an external application aad somebody has been thoughtful enough to purchase beforehand a half pint bottle of Elliot's Emulsified Oil Liniment for 25c. and rubbed the affected parts freely. Guar anteed by Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. Tit For Tat. "A United States senator," said a young physician, "addressed the class I was graduated from on ourcommence ment day. le advised us in this ad dress to be broad and generous in our vews. He said he once saw two fa mous physicians introduced at a re ception. They were deservedly fa mous. but they were of opposing schools, and the regular, as he shook the other by the hand. said softly: "'I am glad to meet you as a gen tleman, sir, though I can't admit that you are a physician.' "'And I,' said the homeopathist, smiling faintly. 'am glad to meet you as a physician. though I can't admit; you are a gentleman.'" Parnell's Apology. Mr. Parnell. on April 16, 1878, char acterized a statement made by Henry James as "a legal quibble" worthy of the honorable and learned member from whom it proceeded. "I must Inform the honorable mem ber," said the speaker, "that an ex pression of that hind is unwarrantable and must be withdrawn."I Mr. Parnell apologized for having used the expression. "I will say," he added, "that the statement was more worthy of the ingenuity of a petty ses sions attorney than of a lawyer of the ability of the honorable and learned entleman." Three Layers of Atmosphere. It appears that in the atmosphere there are three distinct currents of air, the first lying at an elevation of from 900 to 1,500 meters, the second at. from 2,500 to 4,000 meters and the upper one at from 6,000 to 8,000 me ters above the surface of the earth. These are to an extent separate cur rents, flowing each with Its own ve locity. At the bottom of each of the layers the stratus clouds are formed, and at the top of each of the layers occur the cumulus clouds. This sug gests that the stratus originate at the bottom of a moving current and the cumulus at the top. It Is probable; then, that the stratus owe their origin to the difference in velocity and tem perature of the two layers, while the cumulus are formed by ascending cur rents within the layer of air. -Bad, but Still Good. A judge from one of the &frican crown colonies, now home on leave, Is telling this story: It is the custom In the local courts to administer to the natives the form of oath which they consider most binding. One day a Christian colored gentleman, of whose good faith the judge entertained some doubts, was about to give evidence. At his own request he was allowed to take the oath of a Christian. Then the judge intimated that he must also be sworn in the native fashion. The man was visibly disconcerted. "Oh, no, massa," he pleaded. "Not dat. Me very bad native, but me very good Christian."-Manchester Guardian. Are you having trouble with yonr kidneys?

One remarkable achievement of Sir William Herschel was in connection with the planet Saturn. He had ar ranged to erect his telescope at Wind sor castle to enable Queen Charlotte and the ladies of the court to see the wonders of the ringed planet, but on the evening arranged for the observa tion great banks of clouds covered the sky. However, he explained that that would not matter, and after the instru ment had been carefully directed the ueen and her attendants looked througb it and saw the great planet and its marvelous rings quite distinct ly.

Colonel Bill Sterret and the Privilege He Craved. When Colonel Bill Sterret first went to Washington to report the news of the capitol for his Texas papers,, he had desk room in the office of General H. V. Boynton. then the militant cor respondent of the Cincinnati Commer cial. General Boynton spoke out in meet ing. He said things about statesmen that made the statesmen angry. He had many personal encounters with patriots whose feelings had been ruf fled. One night a man caine into Boyn ton's office loudly proclaiming that he intended to shoot Boynton. The gen eral grabbed a chair, beat the intruder over the head with it, knocked him down and threw him out All this time Sterret sat at his desk, looking on In great amazement When the man landed in the gutter Sterret came timidly over to Boynton. "General," he said, "being a new hand here, I don't know the practices of this office nor the customs that pertain to Washington correspondents, and I didn't want to intrude. Now that I have seen what has happened, I trust you will allow me a question?" "Go ahead," said Boynton. "When the next man comes in, would It be too forward If I should crave the privilege of kicking him a few times in honor of the sainted Confederate dead?"-Saturday Evening Post. Weak Kidneys Cause more trouble than any other organ of the body.
