prices reduced
cut deep
That tells, in four words, the
opportunity to save
money buying Dry Goods here in
this Shelf Emptying Sale - a sale
being carried on more earnestly
than any event ever before in the
Store's History.
This is a small-profit store —
wins b siness with less prices
And when these less prices are
reduced a third, a half and even
less, as we're doing now, think
what unheard of advantage that
means to your pocketbook.
If you'd be positively convinced
of what it means,send for samples
and see what choice Dress Goods
being emptied out of the shelves
at 15, 20, 25, 35, 50c.
Silk to go also 35c, 50c, 65c
Carried the greatest as>ort
ments of choice goods in 1898
ever known here—the more ex
tensive business left many surplus
lots and odd lines —these are
what's being sold at such reduced
prices—choice, useful, desirable
goods.
Furs included—and coats,
capes, suits—every surplus lot of
1898 merchandise, medium to
highest cost, has had the price
knife applied vigorously, in a way
that shows we're bound to sell.
Chances here for you just as
important as there would be weie
we selling dollars for sixty, fifty
or forty cents each.

fJ " ™ Both the women and the
c.en have changed radically since
those day« The modern man does not
admire the fainting woman, neither does he
marry her. If by chance he does, he is
only a man. and lives to regret it. There is
no reason why any woman should be a faint
ing woman. General bodilv weakness and
nervousness in women are due to weakness
or disease of the delicate, special organs of
theses. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is a scientific and unfailing remedy for all
disorders of this description. It imparts
health and strength to the sensitive and
susceptible organs upon which a woman's
general health is largely dependent. It
quiets and tones up the nerves, restores the
vigor of youth, rounds out the emaciated
form, imparts the glow of health to the
complexion and transforms weak, sickly,
nenrous invalids into new. healthy, happy
women. It fits for wifehood and mother
hood.
" Words fail to describe my suffering before
using nr Pierce's Favorite Prescription." writes
Mrs Sallie Kcv.of Tampico. Granger Co., Tenn.
"I had inflammation, irritation and profuse
flowing and was very nervous and suffered terri
bly at all times. My feet anil limbs were cold. I
had palpitation of'the heart, and my back was
go w«.ik that 1 could not turn myself in bed.
The thought of food sickened me. My kidneys
were very badly affected. I had been down six
months. I could not sleep night or day and had
given up all hope. My husband got me some
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription I took it
for five months and at the end of that time could
walk a mile and do all my own housework. I
am sure I would l>e in my grave if it had not
been for the ' Favorite Prescription.' "

THE SOUTHERN WOMAN.
Through Many Tribulations Slie lln»
Emerged Into Nobler
Life.
After the lapse of a quarter of a cen
tury, that gracious growth has reached
nn appreciable sizfi nnd beauty; through
the fearful ordeal of suffering unknown
' to the casual observer or reader, the
| southern woman has emerged into tlie
nobler conditions of her present exist
ence. The softness and ease of her for
mer life, its assured protection and the
tender deference that surrounded it,
vt ere perhaps a trifle enervating to char
acter; the affections flourished at the
expense of intellect; the delight of "be
ing" was more present than the neces
sity of "doing;' the whole nature ran
i to vine, secure of always finding a
strong suppr.rt upon which to cling and
j beautify.
i Rut with home and friends and
, wealth swept away by one tremendous
cataclysm, the lovely, clinging creature
1 nas left either to trail helplessly upon
, the ground and perish there, or to de
i velop new fiber, new roots, new powers
( of self-support; nnd the heroic trent
i went has borne its fruit, the terrible
i struggle hns given birth to the child
of promise; perhaps it is but a survival
cf the fittest; perhaps more have per
ished in the ordeal than we care to
count; but it is past, and we look about
us with pride at some of its obvious re
sults. The fittest are indeed "very lit,"
as the Englishman has it.
Some of the most prominent women
in literature —novelists, poets, journal
ists of every grade—as well as in the
arts and on the stage, are southern
women; many of the accountants,
amanuenses and other assistants in of
fices and counting-rooms are south
erners. Many of the women who enter
into commerce, or who make homes for
those happy inmates who find a place
beneath their roofs and at their genial
boards are southerners. You find them,
in fact, wherever you find women at
work not too heavy for delicately
framed and tenderly bred women.
They cannot become scrubbers or
daughters of the plow, although I have
known some who understood the finer
parts of laundry work, such as the get
ting up of laces and lawns. Yes, and
did it beautifully, too —as well or better
than their slaves used to do it for them.
Hut these were exceptions to the rule,
for in a general way the southern wom
an cannot use her hands to any great
effect, except in holding a pen or pen
cil, or a needle, or using her voice on
the operatic or drnmatic stage, and her
taste and refinement are among the
best items of her stock in trade. It i =
the old story of the Arab steed of pure
blood but light frame who outstayed
the big-boned Norman war horse, the
seimiter which cleaves its way where
the battle ax fails —the perfumed oil
which gently creeps through while vin
egar and caustic do not penetrate.—

Popular Monthly.

"It had always been my belief that
the clam, like the oyster, was a home
stayer, growing contentedly to ma
turity in the place where he was born,
and never moving from the spot of his
own accord," said a New York man,
fond of sports with rod and gun, "but
this belief was changed during my last
Bumineir's vacation in Maine. I spent
several days at Sebec lake, usually start
ing on my day's fishing excursions from
Greeley's Landing, on the south shore.
Ilere for a long distance out the water
is shallow, with a sandy bottom. All
over this bottom extending out ta where
it was too deep to be seen were queer
little furrows, such as a man might
make in sand with the tip of a walking
stick. I knew that they could not hate
been by eels, which would have left
sinuous tracks, while these were
straight, and I was puzzled to explain
them. At last I asked my boatman, a
country boy, bred on the shores of the
lake, what caused these furrows.
" 'Clams,' he answered, briefly, with
a slight tone of wonder in his voice at
my ignorance.
"'Clams!' I repeated. 'You don't
mean to tell me that clams travel about
without legs or fins?'
" 'They do, all the same, and I'Jl show
you,' he said, and backed water with his
oars, stopping his boat. 'There's one
now right under you.'
"I looked down into the water, and
there, at the very end of a furrow, was
a clam noting upright on one end, head
down, as I discovered by dipping him up
with my
fully we discovered other clams. If
they were moving, it was too slowly for
me to detect their progress, but in every
case the clam was at the end of a fur
row, which he plainly had made, stand
ing on end, head down.
"'They alius travel 011 their heads.' |
the boy mi id. 'They can work along |
tol'able fast when they've a mind to. !
I've known one to go the length of this
boat in a day.'
" 'What's their idea in all this bal
ancing about 011 their heads?'l asked.
'Where are they going, anyway?'
" 'Dunno. Hut I guess they're
browsin' round for somcthin' to eat.'
the boy answered, and so far as I have
an opinion in the matter T think lie
guessed right."—X. Y. Sun.

A little Joy street boy was taken to
church for the first time a few Sundays
ago. He had been repeatedly cautioned
to sit still and keep (juiet. His obedi
ence was commendable, and when it
came time to pass the contribution box
he was entrusted with the family dona
tion. Instead of silently placing the
money where it belonged he held it be
fore theCeyes of the officiating collector,
that he might plainly see it. "That's
good, my ltitle fellow," came the re

Thirty years ago ranchers from 100
miles to the south journeyed to Wat
sonville to lay iu, at fabulous prices,
their scanty winter sdfiplies >-f eastern
dried apple's. To-day, to quote a local
paper, "fruit buyers are thicker than
commercial tourists." The fruit they
have come to buy is apples— apple*
mainly of two varieties, the belletleur
(Americanized ns bell flower) and the
yellow Newtown pippin. The bellflow
cr, juicy, luscious, is the standard fall
apple; the Newtown, crisp and aro
matic, is the winter apple of the civ
ilized world.
In most localities these peculiar ap
ples cannot be profitably- grown. They
are shy bearers or unthrifty growers.
Hut in southern Santa Cruz and north
ern Monterey, where purls the pictured
Pajaro, nature has provided soil and
conditions exactly suited to the special
needs. The sandy sediments, where
water is found a few feet from the sur
face. is the home of the bellflower; the
heavier lands prove best for the New
town. In Snnta Cruz county alone are
400,000 apple trees, of which 250.000 ar.»
row bearing; while Nlcnterey county ; s
credited with 10.000 acres in orchard.
This season's crop is estimated at 1.500
carloads, which will find consumers not
onlv in nearly" every state of the union,
but also in Europe. Asia and Aus
tralasia. All the civilized world appre
ciates a good apple.
The picking, packing and shipping of
this immense output have grown into a
special industry of large proportions.

house ends in "ieh." Lettunich, Puliso
vieh. Opusich. Miovich, Strazovieh, Scu
rich, Stollieh. Viuvich, Balovieh, Mari
novich, etc., all evidently belonging to
families of Slav origin, nnd these are
all surnames of Watsonville apple pack
ers.
Watsonville claims the biggest thing
011 earth in the shape of an apple-pack
ing house. It covers an area of 21.000
superficial feet. One end of the huge
shed abuts on the Southern Pacific
track, while the other furnishes facili
ties for the rapid unloading of the
capacious spring wagons specially built
for this trade, with long flat beds and
strong springs, to carry- 100 boxes or
more filled with fruit loosely packed in
the orchard.
The "plant" required in the business
cf apple packing is primitive red inex
pensive. The shed is simply a floorless
shell, spacious and lofty. In this tracks
are ranged longitudinally to receive
small, four-wheeled flat cars, which
make easy the-work of unloading
wagons and loading cars. The rest of
the ground space is traversed by piece. s
of scantling, on which nre ranged the
boxes of apples, ten tiers high. Bencher,
for boxmakers and tables fitted with
iron clamps, operated by foot pressure,
for gently pressing down the bottoms
of the full-packed boxes ready for the
nailer, constitute the equipment inside
the shed. Outside arc two huge V
shaped hoppers, built of lnmlier. Into
which the refuse apples arc thrown, to
yield up their juice for cider vinegar
A store of this vinegar, sharpening in
the sun's rays, fills many barrels, whose
bungholes are stopped with wine bot
tles inverted.
The process of packing calls for con
siderable digital dexterity. In packing
for the California market one of the
first things needful is to put a good face
on things. So the boxmaker nails on
the toj) of the l.ox first, and this tem
porarily becomes the l>oftom. On this,
with their brightest colored cheek
downward, are ranged the showiest
fruit of the grade that is being handled.
These must l>c selected and fitted with
not a little nicety so as. when gently
pressed, to exactly fill the area of tli*
bo*, but they must not be roughly
squeezed, for a few bruised apples s]>oil
the appearance and sale of the IK>X;
and the bellflower is especially tender.
To facilitate this arranging of the fruit,
the packer tilts the box to a considcr
nlJe angle, so that each apple remains
where it is placed, instead of rolling
about, as on a level surface. When thi 1
first layer is satisfactorily adjusted sub
sequent tiers of the same sizeare added
until the box is slightly overfilled. It
is then passed to the nailing table, the
bottom pieces laid on, the clamps ap
plied so carefully as neither to bruise
by overpressure nor to leave the fruit
so loose as to rattle if the IKIX !>e jarred,
and the nails are driven home. In pack
ing for export the method is quite dif
ferent each apple being wrapped in
separate paper. Another important
point is the grading nccordinc- to siz*.
The trade recognizes at least three
grades, three tier, four tier and fUv
tier. This sizing must be rigidly ad
, he red to. ati(l no boxes | ack"d with
mixed size? As a rule, the largest size
. brings the highest price, although this
j is not invariably so. the market for
I three-tier fruit being limit* d.—Sar.

HrcUcn Moments.
There nre so many broken moments
in our lives that, if we could piece them
all together, they would round o:T quite

that can nevermore be filled. We gen

Our reputation for truthful advertising is well known.
When we advertise an article, we have it; and as soon as we
are sold out we t ike the "ad' out of the papet. Cut out
some of these ads writ-ten by our scared competitors, go to
them and you will find they have not more than one item
in ten they advertise. Do you think this is business? It
means business for es, for they soon find out their game,
and give us their trade.
The People of Butier Know Us
They trust us; lhey believe our statements because we
advertise nothing but what we have The best way to yet
a man's record is to find out how he stands at home; if his
neighbor:-, endorse him and give him their patronage, you
are safe to do the same.

Our Prices Will Stand Comparison.
