It is not an advertising scheme, either, we mean exactly what we say. We have a stock valued at over $20,000. There is no other stoc k of such magnitude to select from in Jefferson county. The growth of our business during the past twelve months has been wonderfu—almost doubling that of any previous year.

They do not sleep at nightj like any other sensible animal, but' prowl about on back-yard walls, making! horrid noises, and spitting and scratching one another.

Tho liars sat at a table in one end of tho room grinding out thoso unv. holesomo stories as fast as wo could put them in typo. Ono day I got a wad of copy that was positivoly sickening. It was about a lovely girl who had been captured and torn from her homo by a heartless wliito desperado and his band of bloodthirsty Apaches. The girl was in a desperate fix. Sho either had to marry tho villain or become his wife, ho didn't ca.ro which, and he was then on his way to a cavo in tho mountains, whero ho was going to havo tho ceremony performed.
