You can buy a suit to-day for $5 that would have cost $6.50 three years ago. A $5 suit then and a $5 suit now are an entirely different thing. Advertising the $5 suit of to-day as a $7 or $8 suit to be closed out at $5 is misleading. We sold nine, $5 suits on Saturday last and we're told repeatedly that they were superior to any in the village for that money, but leaving them, we want to speak of that in which we take special pride the Tailor Made Goods we sell and which are gotten up by Crouse & Brandegee, for it is the best in the world.

HOW THE BOYS IN BLUE FIND THERE. THINGS DOWN Headed for Tampa, the Fifth Passes South and Views new Scenrs Everybody Is Enjoying the Trip T'wlll lit Them for What the Future will Probably Bring, Actual Service. Oil Board the Train at Tampa. Lumber City, Ga., May 21, 1898. Dear Folk at Home: It is hotter than it was. The trip is immense; it will over-balance the sand-flies and mosquitos we will have to contend with at Tampa. Last night was cool and moonlight. I sat up all but about two hours, watching the scenery. It is grand and growing grander all the way. I have seen "razor backs" (wild hogs) all day to-day, with snoots as long as my arm. we pass through groves of pink and white mag nolias in full bloom, with fragrance al most sickening. One of the officers brought oue through the car as large as my head. Have also seen wild oranges with blossoms three inches across, as sweet as nector and white as ivory. We can almost reach them from the car-window. Las.t night, we stopped in Chattanooga for three hours and saw something of the town. I'he funniest thing I saw was a sprinkler. The outfit was. a donkey hitched to a two-wheeled cart, with two barrels strapped on, and driven by a negro witli a little negro in behind, with a sprinkling-can, swinging it from oue side to the other as the cart moved. We saw Lookout Mounlaiu and the battle field of Chicauiauga last night by uoon light. We are now going through a dense pine forest, and it smells pitchy enough. Nearly all the pine-trees are "boxed" or "tapped" for pitch. We see large swamps filled with wild palms, such as the ladies in the north treasure. The most interesting thing is to watch the change in vegetation, from the fresh ly planted fields in Ohio to the ripe oats here. The corn in Ohio is just out of the ground, and here it is five feet tall and tassled out. There is a flower that is very common here with a shape like a tiu horn, growing out of the ground about 18 inches high and 4 Inches across the top; then another just as big grows out of it and a stamen out of that, in all about 1 feet high, beginning with a cream and shading to-rrery- rich yellow at the top. It is very beautiful. We iust saw a small nine grove of about twenty trees on fire. It is very dry here, I am eniovinz myself to the full extent of the law, and have forgotten all cares, At Everet, Ga.. while the train was standing at the depot a spent bullet from a 32-caliber revolver broke a window in nurcar. Don't know anything about where it came from; nobody was hurt. They say we have a 30-mile march af ter we reach Tampa, but I don't care. 1 could stand a 100-mile march after this trip. You may think I am over-enthus lastic over this triD. but everyone is the same way, It will all be over in 24 hours, as we arrive in Tampa to-morrow evening. Here is the route we have taken: Pan Handle from Columbus to Cincinnati Louisville & Nashville to Nashville Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis to Atlanta; Southern Ry. via Macon to Ev eret, Ga., then on the Fla. & P. Ry. via Jacksonville to Tampa. Your loving son, Frank. Tampa, Fla., June 1, 1898, Dear Parents: I received your letter May 30; also the stamps. Decoration day was ob served by the fifth regiment during the day. We had no drill whatever, in fact it was a holiday for us, and we were turned loose and allowed to go anywhere, but at 6 o'clock the regiment was called together for divine service. Col. Ken nan made us a speech during the day, and ex-Mayor Cofflnberry made a few re marks in behalf of the different ones who had gone from us since we left Cleveland; also one private and a corpor al made some remarks, all of which were very touching, and it was pretty hard for me to keep back the tears some of the time. Rev. JhlcConnell preached forns in the evening. The boys seem to like him very much, although there was a strong attachment to our former chaplain Rev. Mitchell, who left us at Columbus, I started this letter before dinner, but did not have time to finish it, so five of us boys came over to Palmetto Beach to write as it is much pleasanter here and there are tables here for us to write ou I think it is going to rain; it looks very much like It Just think of it, they say that there has been no rain here for five months, so you can imagine how dry it Is. Palmetto Beach is a very pretty place, there are many kinds of palms here, varying in size from one foot to 100 feet in height. .There are also many amuse ment places here, such as a dancing pa- vlllion, billiard and pool hall, bowling alley, saloon, soft-drinks stands, cafes, etc.. also a hotel and bath-houses, etc, But this is more of a winter resort than summer, so many of these places are not open now. However the boys have mo nopolized everything, for there is noth ing to good for some of them. Well, I guess the time for for us to get ready for action is fast approaching, for the colonel received word yesterday to have the regiment ready for the field on short notice, bo we have our knapsacks all packed and it will not take long to drop the tents and be ready to move. None of us boys have the least idea where;, some say one thing and some another. I was not feeling quite as well as usual yesterday, nut after going to the hospi- i T . it a) t . I tangqi renei ana am an ngni again DOW. I I received a very nice letter from my former 'employer, Mr. Alten, last Satnr- day evening, saying that he had had an application for my room, but he thought 1 might posBtbly re-occupy It myself. He was very much in hopes I might return; also the rest of the boys from Lorain who were in camp-in fact his letter made The following resolutions were unan nie feel pretty good, especially the pres- imously adopted: ent oi a two-dollar bill; not that I had any necessary use for the money, but for the kiudness is what I appreciate. He said, "Clarence, there is one thing you will see lots of country," and I guess that's right too. Well, how will it be about getting letters from home when I am in Cuba? I hope I may not be deprived of this pleas ure, and perhaps there will be a way provided, anyway we will keep on writ ing, the ones you write will come back to you If I fail to get them, if this should be the case it will be pretty hard, but I am getting used to hardships some what, so that I can stand this it I have to. I wonder what is going on down to Port Tampa, I can hear the can uons go "boom" every few minutes. You ought to' see me in my goverment shoes. they look like regular gunboats, but nevertheless they are comfortable. Well it is raining now at last, and how refreshing it is. I just now heard that we were not going to be allowed to carry our knapsacks, but to to take along one pair of socks and one change of un derwear and a towel, to be carried in our blankets. The balance of our stuff to be sent back. So according to that it looks very much as though we might get into actual service. , We had an excellent dinner to-day; beet-ktuke, potat6e8,""lbmatoes, onions, rice soup, coffee with milk and last but not least comes hardtack. I was in bathing this morning, the first time since Sunday. The salt water still seems to agree with me, Did I tell you of my change in the ranks? Iam now leaderot thesecond squad, and in the third column when marching in fours, Frank Hoi len bach was over to call on me last night, giving me a look at the Enterprise. He is well. I am glad that Wellington is so patriotic as to nave a company of its own, so that she may have a chance to show herself in the present war. I tell you what, this rain is refreshing. By the way Harry Rice, that is one of the boys in my mess, received a letter the other day saying his uncle, who lived in New York City had died and that he had fallen heir to a fifth of the estate, his share being a very nice amount. He wishes now he was back home, but that will do him no good, he is at work for Uncle bam the same as I would be remembered tojuiy friends and will close for this time. Your loving son, Clarence Ledyard A Medina boy was fined $5 the other day for shooting a robin served him right. Lodi Review. Did You Taho Scott's Emulsion through the winter? If so, we are sure it quieted your cough, healed the rawness In your throat, increased your weight, gave you more color, and made you feel better in every way. But perhaps your cough has come back again, or you are get ting a little thin and pale. Then, whv not continue the same helpful remedy right through the summer? It will do you as much good as when the weather Is cold. Its persistent use will certainly irlve vou a better appetite and a stronger digestion. It will cure your weak throat and heal I our inflamed lungs, t will cure, every case of consumption, when a cure is possible. Don't be Dersuaded to take something they say is just as good.
