Are they worth looking at': Well, that's just what they are. Von don't even need to know what a good shoe is. to promptly recognize the value of our goods. They may not be a joy forever, but they're an unmistakable thing of beauty and they'll wear just as well as they look. As for our children's shoes, it's beyond the jos,sibility of finding fault so far as either make, money or material are concerned. It's as genuine an article from lieel to toe as ever left the hands of a scrupulous manufacturer and every penny you invest in it will be a well invested.

CRUSHED HIS SKULL.

Fraiik Ciaiir, of Near Darliuglon,

Meets

With a Terrible Accident While Felling a Tree. Vostorilav aftornooii horrible neeidont occurred near Darlington, which will in all probability cost Frank Craig his life. Together with his step-father, James R°mlo_v, ami his brother Edward Craig, he was in the woods engaged in felling a large treo. The wind was blowiug unite heavily and the tree fell before it was expected to. Frank ran in the direction in which it fell, and being struck on tho back of the head by a large limb was beaten down and pinned to the ground. Uis companions hurried to the spot and for a time supposed him to be quite dead. After releasing him, however, he rallied somewhat and was carried to the house, Dr. Owsley, of Darlington, was summoned, and upon examination found Craig's skull to be terribly crushed, his brain oozing from the fracture. His death was exI ported last night, and although he was resting somewhat easier this morning but little hope is entertained of his recovery.

A Very Bad Break.

There is one young farmer living near CrawfordsYille to-day who is probably on the anxious bench. Yesterday he brought load of hay to the city and •-old the same to a merchant on south Washington street. The farmer drove the load to Crabbs Reynolds' scales to have it weighed. The gross weight was 3.330 pounds, and after deducting the weight of the wagon the weights and their difference were noted on the (inn's stubs and the corresponding con]Hins handed to the farmer to collect from, lie took it and went away, but soon returned for a duplicate. This was given him and in about an hour the Washington street merchant came surging around to inquire about the weight. It was then found that the seller of the hav had raised the weight from 3.330 pounds to 1.330. thus skinning the purchaser out of the price of a 1.000 pounds of hay. Thematter stands in this way for the time being, but it likely that some radical action will be taken in the matter, as the purchaser is anything but a pleasant humor over the affair.

A Brilliant Wedding.

The home of Richard Breaks, four miles northwest of the city, was the scene of a most beautiful wedding last evening. Frank E. Qnillan and Miss Clara Breaks were united in the bonds of matrimony promptly at seven o'clock. Iiev. O. W. Switzer- oilieiating. The house was beautifully decorated and over one hundred and forty guests were present including a number from tlrr city. After tho ceremony a most sumptuous wedding supper was served and the remainder of the evening^ was most agreeably spent by those present. 3Ir.

Quiilen is an enterprising and prosperous young farmer and has won for his life's companion one of 3Ii ntgoiuery county's fairest and most accomplished daughters. May jov and prosperity attend them both through life.

Desires :to Experiment.

Dr. J. X. Taylor. President of the State Board of Health, is desirous of experimenting tosatisfv himself whether the cattle disease now prevalent in this county, is contagious or not. If there is any farmer who is willing that the Doctor shall experiment with his cattle, he will please report to Dr. Taylor. The manner of procedure would be to take the salava of a siek cow, wliiie in the stage of the disease that the matter is sore, and after mixing this in the feed, give it to an animal not affected.

Officers to the Mission Sunday School. The Kpworth League of the Methodist church held a meeting last evening for the purpose of electing officers for itfi Mission Sunday-school. Tho election resulted as foliows: Sujienntendent, Mrs. H. L. Ornbaun assistant, Tullv Crabbs: secretary. Miss Emma Hills': organist. Miss Edith Coons: librarian, Elbert Scott. She school begins next Sunday r:t 2 p. in., on south Plum street and a large attendance has already been guaranteed.

v':1 Thrown in the Branch. Last evening while Smith Swank and wife were driving out to the Quiilen Breaks wedding they met a serious accident near the road which turns off to the ice house. They met a runaway coming down the road,"and in ordor to avoid an accident he turned off and his buggy tipped over, throwing Mr. and Mrs. Swank and their baby into the branch. They were plastered* with mud and water from head to foot, but otl»erwise uninjured. They {were obliged to return to the city of course.

PLUCKY POTTS.

Arrayed in Bis Nightshirt and Righteous Indignation, Ho Drives a Burglar from His Home.

Tho home of .loliu Volts on t1 corner of Franklin and Plum streets was the scene of a brilliant social event Wednesday night, which will long linger in the minds of those present tis a most nie norable and exhilarating occasion. The house was handsomely decorated for the occasion, Mr. Potts' pantaloons hanging on the back of a chair.near his bedside. The affair was very high-toned and exclusive, only one puest being present. The hour of receiving was ultra-fashionable, being about one o'clock in the morning. Tho guest entered by a window on the porch, and after being safely on the inside opened the outside door in order that ho might retire in good order in case his reception might lie too warm. Mr.

Potts and wife wore reclining on the divan in an adjoining room and Mr. Potts, who was awake, heard his guest walking acioss the tloor and at first he thought it was his little pug dog running around. Tho door between the two rooms was slightly ajar and soon

Mr. Potts was surprised to see it move a little. Soon it moved a little more and tho guest of the evening stuck his villainous mug into the room to take a survey of its contents and occupants. Mr. Potts, with a yell of welcome, leaped out of lx'd to give his visitor fitting reception. The guest was somewhat diffident, howover, and turning tail, ran straight for tho open door. He had not counted on one thing when he opened it and that was a closed screen door. It made little difference, though, as he shot through it as though in were silk gauze or tissue paper. Mr. Potts, attired in his full night dress was on his heels and as both leaped trom the porch to the ground Mr. Potts made remark which retlected seriously on the ancestry of his blithe and merry guest

This seemed to hurt the gentleman's feelings for as ho dodged behind a rose bush he drew a revolver and fired two shots in quick succession in" Mr. Potts's face. How he missed him is a wonder but it was probably because he was on the full jump and dodging the kicks and cuffs of the enthusiastic Mr. Potts, lioth balls took effect in the porch and made scandalously large holes. When he failed to shoot Mr. Potts the burglar turned and ran around the house with hiB pursuant close upon his heels. Being closo pressed he cried, "stand back there or 1*11 shoot you." '•Shoot and be blanked," was the' encouraging response of Mr. Potts as ho gave a farewell kick at the burglar as he leaped the fence ami went scurrying down the street. The battle over 'Mr. I Pott returned to the house and gath1 v.p the trophies pertaining to a cor.q ioror. He found upon the lioor a nice brown overcoat, a pair of low put party shoes and a soft felt hat. These liis guest had left in his unseemly haste.

Mr. Potts' residence was not the only one in the same neighborhood which was burglarized. The residence of •Tames Mack was entered and his pantaloons carried out into tho yard. Fortunately Mr. Mack had taken his pocket book out and placed it under some article in the wash stand, before retiring, so the burglar went bootless from his residence as he weut shoeless from that of Mr. Potts.

The house of Win. Searing was also attacked and the burglar had succeeded in ojiening the window when tho family were aroused and drove him off. All in all that burglar played in tolerably tough luck. Such an experience is enough to discourage genius.

Uncle's Darling fa-Night. Ilettie Bernard Chase, supported by a company of fine artists, appeared last night at tho opera house in "Unelo's Darling." The house was packed and the charming soubretto won new laur els. Her good acting was applauded throughout, and her dancing was en cored several times. The play was one of the most enjoyable of the season Miss Chaso was twice called in front of the curtain.—Huaiioki' (Va.)

The event was in honor of Mrs. Stroll's 40th birthday and the guests biought with them clioic. refreshments. The occasion was a most pleasant one and tho merriment eontinued until a late hour. I
