That is the whole thing in ;i nut

tlie favor of intelligent persons some
of the "bully-ragging" and bulldozing
features which were emphasiz id last

there is a certain number of rooters
who wish to see the home team win
no matter what tactics have to be
pursued to accomplish that end, but
the large majority of the patron.- of

to exceedingly short-sighted policy
to fail to eliminate those f-atm

It Was a Hard Pill
for the Merchants
The '"one-third oil'" sale that we advertised
last week may not have wrecked all/ the other
merchants in the city, but it has kept Vhem guess
in?-, and the old shelf-worn goods that have been
brought out and reduced in price would make
Noah groan with envy ii*he lived to this day to
know that some of Newport News clothing dealers
had gotten a part of t!;c stock that was taken in
the ark.
Our one-third off sale
given you a choice of this season's produc?
tion, and our original prices being marked
plainly on the ticket, you simply have to
select what you want and do 3 our own
