The grand jury is after them. A regular string of boys has been filing in and out" the grand jury room all day, and rumors of Indictments for gambling fly thick snd fast The grand jury Is a very lebluslve body, and noth ing can be known of its action until it reports to the court. . However, some ot the boys who have been there' say that it looks mighty solemn. Two of Reeves'' patrons, Messrs. Will Jones and Ed Murphy, turned Sutn's evidence, as they told a reportoand the result is that about so boys have )een summoned to appear befe the grand jury, and the greater part of today has teen spent by that body in taking their evidence. It is probable that a num ber ol indictments will follow, "What did they ask you?" en quired a reporter of one of the boys. "O, nothing much," was there ply; "only asked me about going to Reeves' room snd what I did there. Didn't ask . me about any other place.

' SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT. ' WE congratulate our customers and triends upon the return of the genial Spring Season. It is always a pleasant relief to exchange the heavier and more sombre apparel of winter for the lighter, and never has fashion set her seal upon goods for the season so attractive and tasteful as thev are at the present time. The very best advertisement of our gooda would be the goods themselves, could they be sent around for general inspection. As this is impossible we fall back on the faithful types to assist uao describe in some measure tbe chief feature of our Spring Stock. By way of preliminary we may say that we have, brought our long business expe rience and knowledgeof local tastes, to the selection of tbe goods we offer and with a result which we hope will be as gratifying to our customers as to ourselves. The extent of our stock is unusually large and the variety offered io styles and the materials are so wide that we think we can scarcely fail ot satisfying every intending purchaser. In every department our stock will be found to be complete; nothing having been neglected in our effort to make it the most complete assortment of goods ever orlered to the trading public ol this locality.,. In riiaking,.ouricJction we have realised that to the quality ot the goods sold we must look for tbe building up ol that confidence between buyer and seller so essential to a commercial suc cess and permanence. Our customers will find that in respect to quality our stock has no superior, if any rival, our policy being to sacrifice a margin of our profits rather than sacrifice the confidence of our customers in the goods we aell. Some rather unusual opportunities have been offered to watchful buyers to secure bargains in tome 01 the durable stanuara tines. These we have taken advantage of and customers ill find that our prices , arc unusually low, relative to the valje of the goods we ofi-T. We aim 1 to satisfy all classes of buyers, and oor stock therelore includes the variety Ol grades wojcd nave corresponainijiy vancu yitcrs. c ucou m v. known for cheapness, but we handle no cheap goods, that is to say, we give even in low price grades the very best article the market affords for the money. It is a shortsighted policy for any merchant to make a repu t..,;.. inr nnml iivU at the fimiiv of his rcDutation for values. No article is really CHEAP which will not return the buyer the full value of y . the money expended in its purchase. Our steady aim is to satisfy buyers, . not only by alluring bargains, but by the satisfaction that comes in goods that wear and rtand the test of actual use. In th matter o! Novelties we f think our stock will leave nothing to be desired. By being early ui thefV market we secured the early choice cf styles and patterns which always f gives the buyer the advantage of picking up such sexonable novelties as are soon exhausted, if they prove desirable to purchasers. We commend t to our customers our own method, that oi early selrctioo, as it follows in . casts that the patterns which are most fancied are the soonest exhausted. We speak with conviction when a say that we do not think any previous . ems on has seen s more invitixg display of goods than those to which we . -direct attention and of which we Invite your inspection. And we are rare ( that it will ae a matter of general surprise and congratulation among bay- , ers that we are able to offer so large a choice, and such excellent quality v lor prices that are remarkable for their moderation. Respectfully, X a' .. W. KAUFMAN & CO., LEADING CLOTHIERS and QENTS FURNISHERS, Corner Central Hotel Charlotte, N. C GRAND SALE OF Cane Mattings and Carpets.
