They are to make the return trip also. They arrived here at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. Two years ago they made the same kind of a trip from Chicago to New York for the Tribune, i They seemed to be slick fellows with their tongues. One Was 18 years old and the other 22.

There is not any use in waiting. A dollar will nev er be worth more in cloth ing than it is now at our sale. Everybody knows that our stock is the largest and finest in town. Our cloth ing cannot be equalled much less excelled. Every suit and garment was cheap at the old price, and it is ri diculously, absurdly cheap at present figures. Prices were never worse cut than this: Mixed worsted cheviot and cassimere suits, black, blue and pin check sacks that were $8, $8.50, $10 and $10.50; closing out at $5. Only a few of these suits left. W. KAUFMAN & CO:, Leading Clothiers. Orders by mail receive prompt attention and goods sent on approval. MPORTAN m Owiog to the fact that our term of co-partnership expires by limitation Sept. 1st, 1895, and being very undecld ed as to whether we would continue business or not, we inaugurated sever al months ago one of the greatest slaughter sales ever conducted in the Slate. There's scarcely a family in this whole country but that enjoyed a rich harvest from this sale. For good rea sons, among them being a brighter out look for this city and a much healthier financial outlook for the whole country, we have just determined to continue our business and push it as never be fore. Our buyers are now preparing to purchase one of the largest and most complete stocks of fine dry goods'.ever brought to this city, and we propose to do the business by having the correct stuff and selling it at prices which will not fail to please. Special attention will be given to fine dress goods, trim mings and wraps, though every depart ment shall be replete with'the very lat est novelties in their respective lines. Our house has already won the reputa tion of being the lowest price house on nice dry goods in this section, and .we are determined to increase that envia ble rep by sending our choice stuff into every nook and hamlet throughout the Carol! n as. We boldly challenge any competitor to produce better values than we give, and henceforth if they give anything like as good they've got to get a move on tnem. watcn lor tne new stuff. is & Keesler. ffaoouactD fCK?ftfsV; To Keep Abreast ' or THs TniEs ' One should eadearor to lead the procession ot follow lb.

X). LiATLL, V Harr I!-!, I Jill r . : There has been no greater example of the power of dollars in unloading mer chandise tban we bave bad lor tbe past twenty days. Seasons and times pale before the power of low values, and we have sent out more dress goods and car pets than ever went out in the same time from any one house in tbe State. It is no wonder alongside of the fac that we are cutting out one of the finest stocks ever offered. Elegant goods, every piece first-class, and then we are naming prices for less than wholesale cost of the goods. Best all wool, 2-ply ingrain carpets at 40 to, 50o. Best all wool filling ingrains 35 to 40c. Tapestry Brussels at 35 and 40c. Best cotton .in grains 25c. Rugs, druggets, moquettes, and velvet carpets equally cheap. You can't buy these goods of anv house in the nation at our prices. Along with the carpets and dress goods you can buy linens, dry goods, gloves, handkerchiefs, hosiery, laces, muslin underwear, etc., just as cheap. Cutting the life out oi high prices is in order now, and as we go whirling down the line to the end of the year 1895, we are picking the choice from the track of credit. The sale of the Norris stock is now in full blast. Xq doubt about this being one of the best stocks of strictly first-class goods in the State, and a fraction over 50c on the dollar makes it cheap, and we shall cut it all out that way. Shall simply slaughter this elegant stock. $5,000 of these in shoes added to our elegant stock of 915,000 worth of shoes bought at 35 and 50c on the dollar. All must go at the one uniform price of half val ue. Did you ever know us to fail to carry out what we promise the public? Well, we shall not fail now. We prom ised you this fall should bring you more and better values than ever offered and it shall. We have the values now bought and with over one-half of our great stock bought at half and less of its wholesale cost, we are amply able to name prices that no other house can touch. No such thing as competition with us and shall not be to the end. Come to see us. illimos, Hood & Co.. Successors to W. J. Davis & Co We Have Gone HantiDg !
