When Buying Jewelry
It is better to buy from a reputable dealer whom you
know, and pay him a fair profit than to buy from a ped
ler or by mail goods at attractive prices, and which may
prove to be worthless. Our line of jewelry contains no
trashy or cheap pieces. We guarantee every article we
sell and our reputation for fair and honest dealing back
it up. A piece of good jewelry is a token of esteem
which is seldom underestimated. A gold watch or ring
is a gift that will serve as a constant reminder for years.

riders burned the station houses of the
Illinois Central railroad at Gracey in

would not be permitted to establish a
camp.

ed night riders captured the telephone
exchange, took the two operators with
them to the station, and after setting
the house on fire rode away. At Corn
lean the burning was quietly accom
plished. At CObb. after th building
was fired, the night riders fired their
revolvers and rode away.
