My Dear Brother: I was in Louisviiie Ky., thJothcr day witlr f -tor Klicn, to assist her in shopping, and to take a stroll through tn . Groat Southern Exposition building. We have been there a numhef ' times, and every time we see something we did not see before. 0! it is a wonderful place, sure enough ! Ellen's boys ailneeded Fall and VinV ''s ' ter outfits, and we both needed various articles. The New Alexander . vi Hotel made us feci at home, Col. Joe'V is so obliging. We did not find ., anything in the way of cloth in? to suit till we came to that big clothing store of J. Winter & Co., corner of Third and Markettroets, and dear )i:r me! that's the place to buy clothing; they have got every thing you cad; ;' think of clothing for the biggest man or the tiniest little fellow that ,r , ever toddled and such reasonable prices too ! I j ust saw some oT th ; darlingest, dasiest suits and overcoats you can imagine. - Don't fail to T . go right straight there when you go to Louisville for your Pall and WiaS '4::ter clothes, and to take in the Exposition.

He also probably received internal injuries: Bob Roby was also badly powder-burnt about his face and breast and otherwise injured. It is a winder that both men were not instantly killed, but as it is, their wounds are not dangerous, although the powder may disfigure them for life. Dr. J. p. Maxwell wa called to the spot im

after examining the wounded men had them sent home in buggies. They are getting along well, but Langley is the worst sufferer, his face being badly swollen.
