All Steps of Men
Can be fitted and suited here.
We have clothes made for the
"hard to fits" and we fit them.
Many stout and slim men who give
up trying to buy clothes ready
made, come here and find exactly
what they want. If you are an
extra tall, short or fat man come
and see what we can do for you.
We'll surprise you with the
clothes; possibly more with the
prices—for, being unusual in
shape, you've had to pay a penalty
to your tailor. We do away with
that and charge you no more than
we do the ordinary built man.
We also have a large line of
Ladies' and Gents' Furnishings,
Hats, Caps, Neckties, Dry Goods,
Notions, etc. Large line of
Trunks and Suit Cases.

this morning. The bullet, which was a
38-calibro, grazed her temple and cut
her ear. She was overcome by shock
and fright from the wound and was tak
en to her residence by neighbors. Mrs.
Ferry is unable to explain how she was
shot, as she saw no one bofore she re
ceived the wound, but heard revolver
shots while passing through the swamp.
Her wound is painful, but is not regard
ed as dangerous.
Shortly after 12 o'clock Officer Molik

properly.
Rev. Daniel Herron, O. 8. A., of Bryn

has dedicated his life-work to his church,

was visited at the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. William Gallagher, by
many of his friends, who tendered him
their congratulations and wished him
a successful career.
