rrssz: A Mistake A Chicago Arm by mistake sent our goods Ladies' Shirt 'Waists to Utah and the goods that should have gc;. to Utah came to us. . Namely, Boy's Wool Suits ' (Somewhat out of our line.) However, . the manufacturers asked us to close them out at wholesale prices- and allow us discount or selling them, as the freight would amount to a good deal to return them. , We, therefore, Invite you to come to Sumner's Old Stand to look over, these Suits. They consist of one , hundred , and fifty Suits for boys, from 4 to 10 years. There ' are double breasted, single breasted and Norfolk styles, all with Knick erbocker pants. In pretty gray and brown wool mixtures. All very nifty styles and patterns. - According to the manufac turer's list the retail price would be $3.S0 to $6.50, but as they will be sold at wholesale price you can buy them at $2.50 and f 3.M.

As punishment for carrying on a stock swindle by mall, alleged to henre extended over period of two years and to have netted millions in profit, four promo ters of the firm of Burr Brother, in corporated, were each sentenced yes terday to a year' 'Imprisonment on Blackwell' Island. ,' The prisoners are Shelton C. Burr, president of tne corporation; his brother, Eugene H., who was secretary-treasurer; Charles H. Tobey, vice president, and Edwin Wesley Preston. Unexpectedly they offered pleas of guilty before Judge Holt In the crim inal branch of the United States Clr cult court The Indictment upon which they were called to face trial specifically charged a swindle Involv Ing 248,000 in connection with the sale of the stock of the People's As sociation of Illinois, but the govern ment alleged that this was but one of a continuing series of fraud estl mated to have Involved nearly 50, 000,000 with f 12,000,000 profit to the promoter. Counsel for the defendants declared that rather than Involve the expense of summoning witnesses from distant points It was decided to plead guilty to the specific Indictment The max Imum sentence possible on this charge la 12 months, and counsel for the de fendanta urged" clemency. Judge Holt pronounced sentence a year each and the, men were taken to the Island. . A little over a year ago the four men were prospering, occupying ex pensive offices In a Broadway sky scraper. On November ,20, 1110, federal agents raided their offices In con nection with a general round-up or mail swindlers, ordered by Postmas ter General Hitchcock. Their bus! ness had been mainly the sale of storks and bonds and oil and gold mining enterprises. Freah Home) Btads Boa Bon.

THE LESS FORTUNATE BEING PROVIDED FOR Streets and Stores Filled With Shop- - pom Crowds Coining In for ;! Holidays. It becomes increasingly evident that this will be one-of the "best Chrlst- maaes Asheville ever saw" In many re spects. The people on the streets and in the public places. Judging from their demeanor, have entered whole hearted ly into the spirit of the occa sion, and this will apply to those In the various walks of life. Especially Is the spirit of giving noticeable, poe but It certainly never could have been more pronounced in Ashe ville than it is now. It may not be true, but appearances are deceiving if this spirit of giving is not directed more and more toward the poor; and from present indications, the unfor tunates of the city will feast as they never hiive done before and enjoy cheer of other nature. This is fore casted by the successful trips of the Santa Claus wagon, which brought In loads of presents of every nature to the Associated Charities, many of which were things badly needed by the recipients; It Is proved by the plans of other charitable inatltutlons. churches and Individuals. Those who have given to these charities seem to have done so from the pure love of giving as well as being actuated by the knowledge of the needs of the less fortunate. There are a goodly num ber of men and women in Asheville that would feel deeply uncomfortable If they knew there was one person in the city who will not receive the Christmas cheer which they could rea sonably have furnished. Heavy Stopping. There are few people here that would own to being financially ple thoric, but this does not seem to affect the trading that Is going on in every shop.' The possible number of trading hours was curtailed yesterday by the rnln, but In spite of the nasty weather there were literally crushes in some of the stores yesterday afternoon and last night of buyers who realized only too well that only one more day of shopping was available; and today the streets a well as the store are filled to overflowing. It was estimated yes terday that the merchants had lost as much as 210,000 on account of the rain. It was not lost not all of it; it was simply deferred until today. Hun dreds of country people are here lug ging their bundles about and buying more, and the deliveries are so far behind' that many of the city people prefer to carry their packages with them. At the central market the ware are enough to make one's mouth water, and turkeys, geeoe, ducks, chickens, are going out both by delivery and In the hands of the purchasers themselves. Mail and Express. Something has been said of how hard the employes at the postofflce are working to avoid congestion, how the carriers had to be provided with buggies and how the people had gath ered about the tables in the lobbies. and at the windows. This Is In the face of the fact that they began send ing their presents away a little earlier than usual. At the express office, too, the employes are rushed although It Is reported that they are handling the trafflo well. They had made thorough preparation for the heavy shipments. and had Induced the people to begin sending their presents , earlier than usual. This office has obtained per mission to deliver packages tomorrow. ' For several days the school boys and girls have ' been coming to their homes; and many others have made the supreme effort to come and visit their, parents, other relative and friend. While the railroad travel has not been unprecedented, it has been heavy. Salvation Army Dinner. Now Is the time that the Salvation Army gets In some vf ra best work. The ramifications of this organisation are such that It can reach where no other can. The local members of the army are well organised and their knowledge of hidden distress is such that little of It will be overlooked. Somehow or other they manage to "keep the pot boiling," and following the usual custom dinners will be rre pared. The baskets, containing all manner of substantial foods, will be distributed this evening. The Associated Charities I another organisation that la well acquainted with and experienced In the needs of the poor. They are just now through distributing the contributions gathered by the Santa Claus wagon. People to the number of ever 200 received abundantly from this fund. Over 150 bundles of foods, clothing, toys, etc. were given but yesterday and the re malnder today. Ther was no confu sion as tickets had been Issued. Besides these, most of the churches have wall organised missions. Nat urally these will be In close touch with their unfortunate members, and generous funds have been raised for tome of them.

The children of the Children's home will be furnished with a "turkey dinner" by the Asso ciated Charities, according to the an nual custom. The dinner will be served on Wednesday following Christ mas. . As the day before Christmas is Sun day, many of the churches will not have services on Christmas day, but those that will not have prepared for special services on Bunday, in which musical programs will play an Im portant part Churches ami Sunday School ' Some of these musical programs appear elsewhere in this paper. Near ly all of the churches or the Sunday schools will have or have had some sort of entertainment for the children. These take the form of trees, giving parties and treats of various kinds. The business men of the city will of course observe the day by closing their places of business. The Ashe ville Merchants' association announces that ail members will close their stores that day. 1 Last, but not least, in the matter of extending cheer will be treat to the children of the city at the Y. M. C. A. throueh the Salvation array. The army is preparing to treat at least 500 children Monday. It is enabled to do this through the kindness of J. C. Ar- bogast. This is the second time that Mr. Arbogast has done this. Last year he. gav 4iberally ...eo . the . children through the army.. He has furnished 200 ponds of candy, 700 oranges, 200 dolls and 1000 other toys. This treat will probably cause more genuine en joyment than any other that will be given.'
