If your shoes are not per
fectly comfortable to your
feet, pleasing to your eyes,
and in harmony with your
new gowns, you are certainly
wearing shoes intended for
another woman. Among the
endless styles of ‘ ‘Patrician’ ’
there are those as surely de
signed to exactly fit and
please you as though they
were special ordered from
your custom-maker. Futher
more, they will wear just as
long as a custom-made shoe,
the saving in price is at least
that of an extra pair of Pa
trician. The fit, the charm
ing styles of Patrician Shoes
are not “accidents” of experi
ment, but the “result” of an
accurate knowlege of the femi
nine foot, feminine fashions
feminine tastes, combined
with worthy materials.
For your own comfort and
satisfaction we suggest that
you try Patrician.—A popu
lar price—$3.50.

mended for children, as it tastes
nearly as good as maple sugar.

the mothers of this town to settle
this question.

It is not reasonable to expect a
stream of water to be clean and
clear when we are told at the head
of the fountain there is piled rub
bish and trash, and that is corrupt
and defiling. Neither can we ex
pect pure and wholesome laws
when at our nations capitol there
are men of impure morals. Men
who sanction those things which
pertain to the nations down-fall.
We must first make the fountain
pure, then all will become so.

R. S. Shue was shot and instant
ly killed in Pninkin Bend Wednes
day evening about four o’clock, by
Henry Simmons. The assailant
used a shot gun loaded with buck
shot, one load striking Shue in his
back and neck and the other strick
ing him in the abdomen. Shue’s
body was found soon afterwards
by a man named Williams who is
working on Shue’s farm. The
killing took place in the public
road in front of Simmon’s home.
No trouble is known to have
existed between the two men and
as yet the cause for the rash act
has not been learned. Simmons at
once went to Fair Oaks and tele

surrender. A preliminary trial
was held in Augusta today, Thurs
