A RIDDLE,.
What becomes of the wool in the
suit of clothes that is sold to the
man at $5, reduced from $12?
If he buys
such a bargain, then, of course, the
wool is pulled over his eyes.
means that we don't carry any $5
men's "all wool" suits. We don't
buy that kind, ergo, can't sell 'em.
Say for instance your'e
a poor man
Even at that you're not so poor but
what you can afford $10 for nn honest
and durably made suit of clothes. In
this store at this price you get a real,
bona fide clothing value something
you need not be ashamed of, some
thing that will wear and hold its ap
pearance, and at the end you're
"money in"

Wednesday Judge Sullivan
granted Prank Tv. Dinsmore a
change of venue from Buffalo
county and set the case for trial in
Dawson county. Court convenes
there on March 5th and it is ex
pected that the Dinsmore case
will be reached about the 12th.
Judge Sullivan stated that he se
lected Dawson county owing to the
nearness of Lexington to the scene
of the murder and because of easy
communication with Buffalo
county which would tend to lessen
the expense of the trial.
