temped to clean his gun when it was
loaded, will probably have sense
enough not to try it again. He was
frightfully injured, four fingers of one

blown off. There were several children in the room when the gun and
the fingers went off, but, fortunately,
the little ones were unharmed.

Dear John: I wish you would
come home Saturday as those groceries you bought of Tatman are nearly
all gone and I do not want to buy
anywhere else. They were all fresh
and good and you ought to see the
children eat. His tea is the best we
ever had & with that Galvanic soap I
did my washing in one hour and 15^
minutes. Be sure to buy the children
candy for Christmas at Tatman's as
he has the best—and oh, such nice
oysters. He could mix them half
water and then they would be thick.
Yours, Mary.

Dear Mary: I will go to Tatraan's
every time. If he does sell such good
groceries, it pays to buy first class
goods. His "Jockey club" cigar is
the Boss. Yours, John.
Giberson's prices last week completely knocked the life out of other
dealers. I did not expect it would
have such terrible effect, but it could
not be helped. They have all got to
take their medicine. Just received—
some elegant goods for the holidays,
substantial, useful and ornamental. '

len's boots at NATE   BICKNELL'S.
$3 blankets for SI .50 a pair. The boss $2
men's boots a cis Ail'-, idi<_ivin ELL'S. For the next 90 days I will make
some prices that will stun my opponents.   I say goocls must go.
