It isn't often that buyers can secure goods at
wholesale prices, but we offer that chance while
they last on an exceptionally good line of pocket
books and purses. This lot comprised the sam
ples of a "drummer" for a large wholesale house
and we bought them two months ago for de
livery June 1st. The important point is that
they were sold to us at one-third fj) off the
wholesale price, so that we can sell them at the
price dealers ordinarily have to pay and still
realize a small profit. They are going fast.
Don't expect to have one in stock after next
Saturday.

Agnew, living about two miles Irom
Cooksburg, on the Jefferson county side
of the river, was burning as the Dr. drove
up. Tbreo or four of the neighbors had
gathered and were doing what they could
to keep the fire from communicating
with the house, in which the doctor took
a hand, remaining till all danger to other
property was over. The barn with all its
contents, some grain, wagons and farm
iiiachinory, was totally dostroyed. Mr.
Agnow and family are in Pittsburg on a

It would socin tho captors of Frank
Major are likely to have some difficulty
in settling thn quostion as to just who is
entitled to or will receive the f5O0 reward
oll'cred by the city of Titusvillo next
morning after tho robbery and murder of
of chief of polico McGrath. The Herald
says: "Forinor Constable Peter Haehn,
of Grand Valley, was in town yesterday.
Ho takes exception to the statement in
Tuesday's Herald that he had nothing
to do with Frank Major's arrest. He
says that he had just as much to do with
Major's apprehension as Constable F. S.
Goodwell. Both Goodwell and Huebn
approached the bandit at tho same mo
ment. As the constable seized Major's
right arm he directed Haehn to take his
left, which the latter did. Mr. Haehn
aftorward accompanied Goodwell and
Major to Titusvillo and assisted in deliv
ering the latter over to the local authori
ties. He told the Herald yesterday that
ho will claim ono-half of the reward of
:M offered by the city, aud bolioves that
ho is eutitlod to it. John Whaloy,
another Grand Valley uihii, assisted iu
disarming Major, and ho also claims a
share of tho reward. The city stands
ready to pay the reward at any time, but
will not be a party to any controversy
ovet the matter."

road, East Hickory. He was up the run

Tho M. E. Church at Fagundaa wears
a white coat of paint. It was put on last
fe'.l. The credit is due to the people of
Fagundas. The Ladies Aid Society took
tho initiative in the repairs by repair
ing tho plaster and having the whole in
terior beautifully papered a year previ
ously. Quito a little help in the paint
ing of the church was received from par
ties outside, the town, but interested in
it. '
"The old Funk Church is being repair
ed. It stands on the road from Fagundas
to Pinevllle about two miles north-west
from Fagiindas. It was built by Capt.
A. B. Funk in 1S62 and by him and nis
wife deedod to thr M. E. Cnurch. It ap
pears that Capt. Funk, a Godly man,
promised that If the Lord would grant
him success in a business matter for
which he prayed, ho would build the
Lord a church. The success came he
prayed for, and he built the church.
And he built a good one. The weather
boarding with which tho house was cov
ered was all A 1 clear stuff. It was
built for a basement heater, and the stone
work nnder the house was first class.
Evon the stone under tho back end of the
house near the woods were cut and
dressed. Many of the stone under the
bulling are ten feet If.ng. The stops go
ing up to tho door in Iront wore stone,
all ofthoin, and worked iu scroll work,
Tho roof was shaved pine shingles aud
has never boon reuowed or repaired
until now. The plastering ou the inside
was iu keeping with all else. The plates
are as level yet as when laid. An
attempt was made to displace the comer
stone some years ago on tho tradition
that quite a sum of money w as hid in it
when it was laid. The story is told that
ou the night ou which the attempt was
made by sumo young men or boys they
wero terrified by seeing what they
thought was the wraith of tho dead found
er coming out of tho adjoining wood to
ward them, and they (led. Ii is not like
ly that any money value sufficient to
tempt robbery was ever pu' in tho corner
stone. Tho buildinu: w ill be roofed anew,
painted, otherwise improved and an or
gan put therein. It is a qu int monu
ment to au honest man. For the sake of
what it commemorates it oiight to be kept
in good repair whether ever a sormon is
preached thoro again or not. The church
has beou used by tho Baptists, Free
Methodists, Brethren, and possibly by
othors besides the M. E's, whose it is. It
is now connectod with tho Ploasantvllle
charge and regularly supplied , with
preaching. Contributions for its repair
will necessarily have to be gathered from
all about, as there are but lew people and
no congregation of any sizo in the imme
diate vicinity. Thoro is a splendid chance
here for a whole lot of poople who, like
Capt. Funk have made promises, but
who have not yet carried them out alto
gether. S:y, if you wore fishing nnd had do
