Hundreds, yes thousands of pairs of New Fall Shoes are reposing on our shelves, shining on our counters, and twinkling in
{ our cases. Shoes that look good and are just as good as they look.- Shoes with their goodness made in them==not put on
them after they are made by skilled finishers to cover up cheap materials and the poor work of unskilled workmen.
We Guarantee the Wear of Our Shoes
We know them all the way through and we can trust
them. We repeat they are as good as they look, and that
is saying a good deal. Shoes for men and women and
shoes for children. Every foot fitted, every taste suited and
every idea met with. A sterling assortment indeed, as a
visit will demonstrate.

meetings in history of aid was
held at the church Tuesday after-
noon.
The lesson33rd and 34th chap-
ters of Exodus was led Jby Mrs.
W. R. Williamson. Those who
came with lesson unprepared, of
those who thought it dull and
“not much in it,” were soon
awakened to the ^reat truths
and spiritual teachings which
should extend to the present age.
These were so earnestly brought
out by our leader until every
member present was so deeply
interested that the aid was loth
to leave our Bible study for the
business meeting.
This meeting was short and
was principally confined to some
charity work of'the aids, and the
closing up of the work of
Woman’s Day during encamp-
ment.

Gatesville, Texas, Aug. 13.—
A loss of more than .$100,000 was
caused by fire here early this
morning. The flames were dis-
covered in the northeast corner
of the public square shortly after
midnight and spread^southward
before a heavy wind. Four two-
story buildings, all the property
of O. S. Wells and the Cook es«
tate, were totally destroyed.
Lieutenant Becker, one of the
New York police force, now un.der
arrest charged with having a
gambler put to death, had a reg-
ular salary of $2,250 per year^
and yet his deposits show that he
placed in banks from November
1911 to May 1912, $58,845, and it
is claimed he has other securities
and investments made out of un-
lawful proceeds of the office
amounting to over $200,000.
Graft seems to be the rule in high
official positions in the cities.
