TIII'1 purchasing' power of one dollar was never so great as it will be tomorrow in
Aledford, when the "Dollar bargain day" plan will be tried out.
Merchants in every line of business have joined in the scheme, as a perusal of the
advertisements in this paper will show. On account of the date falling on the same
day as the irrigation meet special rates have been obtained from the railroad and it is
expected a great crowd of outsiders will atprcsent. Main of the merchants have
joined in n plan to return railroad fare uyralnviib purdliasTTTveTr a certain afnduiit at!
their stores.
Those interested in the dollar ay plan have worked hard and there is a lot of good
nat tired rivalry as to which can offer the most tempting bargains for the dollar. As
the day falls on the real start of the Christmas buying season the shopping should be
heavy. '
Tt will pay everyone to read tho business announcements of Medford merchants
this evening.

day to tell of hor minions with tho
man upon whom she fired ia hor
apartment.
"I am only 23 yonrs old," began
Miss Graham. Mr. Stokos and I
woro not formally introduced. I was
playing tho piano ono day when ho
entered and said : 'Mv child, you piny
wonderfully woll.' After that I be
came very familiar with Stokos. Ho
camo to seo me ofton and sent mo
oh, so many nice notes and loiters
T alwnys answered by noto or tele
phone." Attumev Jordan, for the defense,
then read the letters which Miss Gra
ham wrote Stokes in 100(1, explain
ing that it was "to show tho inno
cent spirit of tho child who was writ
ing." These letters woru (juiliy
notes.
When sho resumed her tostimouy
she said that shu ofton motored tyUJi
Stokos up to the timo of hor leayipg
Xnv York in 1007 in tho ohorus pg a
musical show. l '
"I was in Memphis," she continued
"when I rocoived a lottor from Stokos
mi his farm in Lexington, Ky., ask
ing mo to como there for a visit. Ho
said ho would havo othor gnosis, and
I saw no impropriety in going. When
T arrived at Lexington only Stokas
