She is a woman, therefore fond of bargans. She. therefore, has a delightful time in summer time, when the "marked-down” sales are in progress. But there is sometimes a fly to be found in her ointment of happiness and content. Not lor - ago she went down into the shopping district and sought bar gains She found them—there never was a real woman who failed to find a bargain if she diligently sought It, and she was happy. In the first place she found shirt waists for $1.50, and bought three beauties. She was perfectly sure that she could not have gotten them 1b the beginning of the season for less "ban $3.00, and she bore them home in triumph. The next day that shop advertised their •'annual grand reduction sale.” The woman read the items adver tised with great attention; among them were waists marked down to $8 cents. She had a foreboding that these 98 cent waists were the same kind that she had paid $1.50 for, and she went about her labors with a dreadful worry gnawing at her heart During f tbe afternoon she could stand it no longer, so she journeyed down to that shop—and there on the bar gain table were duplicates of her three pretty $1.50 waists. For three days the woman felt that her life had been in some way misspent—then the bargain lust again overtook her and she went out to buy a pair of low shoes. CAROLINA DISPENSARY CAM. U. S.

Seven Persons Killed and Thirty In. jured In Town In Missouri. Windsor, Mo., Sept. 17.—Seven persons are dead and thirty injured, as the result of an explosion of a car of blaok powder at the Missouri, Kansas and Texas station. When it became known about town then a car of powder was on the tracks at tbs station, a number of curiosity ssskssa, a majority of whom were ne groes, assembled. A. F. Hershber ger. a Missouri, Kansas and Texas freight conductor, became annoyed at their presence. In fhoving a keg of powder some of the explosive fell over. Seeing it on the ground, Hershberger remarked; ’T’H khow you how to scare negroes.” He lighted a maioh and threw It into the powder. Instantly there was an explosion that shook the town, knock ed one sod off the depot and shat tered windows and stopped docks for miles around. The oar containing the powder was hurled in every direc tion. She found some lovely pumps for $5, and bought them. A week later she was passing the window of that shoe emporium and she saw her pumps in the window with a lot of other shoes marked down to $2.98 and $3.98. This was too mnch, and she Invad ed the shop. ‘Why didn't you tell me you were going to mark those shoes down?” she .queried. “I would have waited to buy mine.” The gentleman in charge of the shop looked surprised. “That is not our way of doing bus iness, ma'am.” he answered. “We sell all we can up to a certain date and then put our surplus on the mar ket at reduced prices.” The woman, after she had gotten home and imbibed two glasses of lemonade, reflected that this, after all. was a reasonable way to trans act business. Rm she decided that she would not do this way any longer—she would waif until things had been re- 500 To Return To Work.

Some Believe that it is a sign of war to see this heavenly wonder. And it was seen by many just before the Civil war. But there are many heavenly wonders, and I suppose they all have some hidden meaning; therefore, we should not become alarmed. I do not, however, desire to see people utterly heedless of the mighty and wonderful and sublime things of God. There are those wno even giggle at such an awe-inspiring scene as the northern lights. But nevertheless, the time will come when they may wish they had not been so idiotical and frivolous. Cattle tick inspector Query, pass ed through this section Thursday.
