to iurrendnr. All did except one, who,
wheeling hia horse aud putting aptira
to him, while drawing hit aword aud
waiving It over hia head, daubed oil at
full ipeed toward the Federal Hunt.
Captain Beard ordered hit men to ore,
for, a he ttatea, he felt milsllod that
the ollloer, ou aooount of tha retinue
accompanying him, must be high lu

Federals swept everything back until
they piiH(id and retook the prison

fit. Notwithstanding we have
ulwayn been known as' the most
enterprising merchants la this

case lower than others, we be
lieve it is right to do the best we
can by our patrons, thereby se-
curing not only the largest
amount of trade but also the
greatest number of friends. !
We want everybody to under
stand that we are not trying to
see hw jtw good we can give

Every volume is worth $6.00
to any person or any family, and
is really a household necessity.

by selling to our regular custo
mers, and of enjoying the trade
of scores of new ones.
