OUR FALL STOCK
September 1 marked the close of three years’ business for us and during that time we have
endeavored to build up a stock of merchandise that would merit the careful con-
sideration of any buyer, both in its high quality and reasonable price. We have
also endeavored to establish the principle of giving first class service and
full satisfaction with every purchase and we are not satisfied with any
sale until these conditions have been fulfilled.
We have made some changes in our arrangement and equipment
and invite your inspection, particularly of onr stock of

Still Seeking Perpetrators
of Wall Street Horror.
Thirty-five persons were killed
and 200 wounded by an explosion
in Wall street, New York, last
week. Socialists, it is believed,
were responsble for the outrage
but the authorities have not yet
been able to fix the guilt on any
individual, although eight sep-
arate investigations are under
way.
Shortly before the explosion an
express wagon drawn by a horse
was stopped in front of the assay
office near the sub-treasury build-
ing and just opposite the bank-
ing house of J. P. Morgan & Co.
This wagon, it is claimed, con-
tained a big bomb, filled with

This was the sentiment of local
business men on their return from
Carthage last night, where a
conference was held yesterday
par to tfie business men of Mar-
shall. However, the Panola
court refused to take any action
on the matter. When the Mar-
shall delegation found that it was
absolutely impossible to get any
satisfaction on the matter, they
returned to Marshall with a de-
termination to erect the bridge
by public subscription.
“The Panola court evidently

of the Marshall men upon the

who had occasion to observe the
proceedings, is that objection
was raised in Carthage against
diverting business from that plaee
to Marshall. A widespread sen-
timent across the river in Panola
county crystalized recently at a
mas meeting at Carter’s Ferry,
where hundreds of people gather-
ed to consider the construction of
the bridge.
At the request' of the neigh-
boring county Commissioners’
court the Harrison county judge
and four county commissioners,
together with fifteen Marshall
busiuess men, journeyed, to Car-
thage for a conference with the
Panola court. It was stated at
the time of the invitation last
Monday the Panola county Com-
missioners’ court had agreed to
build the bridge and that they
desired a conference to make fi-
nal arrangements for the con-
struction of the bridge. An en-
tirely different atmosphere was
encountered upon the arrival of
the Harrison county delegation
at Carthage yesterday, it was
said,. When the two Commis-
sioners’ courts met in joint ses-
sion at noon in the courthouse
in Carthage, County Judge Long,
of Panola county, stated that the
financial condition of the county
made it impossible for their coun-
ty to raise money.
T. L. Whaley, representing the
Harrison county business men,
stated that if Panola county
would issue warrants he would
guarantee they could be sold at
was called we found everything
all wrong. The Panola court had
decided not to issue warrants as
first decided, and I am of the
opinion that considerable pressure
was brought to bear by some-
one.” ^
The failure of the neighbor-
ing county to stand its part of
the cost of the bridge made the
Marshall men more determined
than ever to erect the bridge and
it was the popular opinion of
those that made the trip to Car-
thage that a fund would be start-
ed within a few days by local
subscriptions to defray Panola’s
half of the cost.
| League Prevented W$.
Dramatically clasping hands

Nations, Ignace Paderewski and
A. Yladamir last Monday accept-
ed the league’s findings in the
Polish-Lithuanian dispute, in
which war was threatened.
Both Paderewski and Vladimir
said up to tfao weeks ago they
believed the dispute between the
two countries could have been
settled only by war. Acceptance
of the findings marked the
league’s first success in blocking
threatened war. \

Wall Around Courthouse.
The contract, it is expected,
will be let in a short time for the
building of the concrete wall
around the courthouse. The wall
has been planned for some time.
It will be two feet high, with
octagonal finish and will be erect-
ed just outside the line where the
old iron fence formerly stood.
The ground outside the wall will
be leveled, making a smooth
courthouse yard. A
