Perkins Bros. Red Tag Sale
We do not wish to convey the impression that a reduction from our present retail
price is to be made on every article, however many items at the prices marked are
less than wholesale now, particularly in staples and Shoes, and are truly bargain
. : prices, and your purenasing now means a handsome saving over what you will pay in
the next sixty days. It is an impotsible thing for competition to moot or measure
with the Red Tag Price. In thia Great Sale you can feel fully assuree when you have -
made your purchases that you have paid less than you could secure the same quality
for elsewhere.

The case of Golden Belt, suit
for personal damage, for 110,500
vs M C. Florence, which has
occupied the time of the District
court for several days, was con-
cluded Monday morning when
the jury returned a judgment for
plaintiff, granting damages to
eligible for pervice in this new
army, which will mean that the
time will come when none of these
will be permitted to enlist voluntar-
ily, but will be required to bold
themnselves in readiness for the call
to active service. While for some
of them the time may be very dis-
tant when they will be assigned to
such pieces or called, it will come
eventually. The draft will probably
be about the middle. of the week of
July 23. Delay has been occasioned
for the reason some states have not
