15,000 JAPANASE
REPORTED KILLED.
Turn of the Tide of Success
Seems to Have Resulted Dis
astrously for Japs.
St. Petersburg, May 23.—It is
reported that a message has
been received from the Russian
consul at Che Foo saying that
the Japanese have made a land
attack on Port Arthur and that
in doing so they lost 15,000 men
killed and wounded. The Rus
sian loss is placed at 3,000 men.
According to reports reaching
here the Japanese were repulsed
at every point with heavy losses,
but the truth of the report is
questioned here.

L. Harwell at her home in West

NEW ADDITION OPENED.
Tuckerman has recently opened
up a new addition to the town,
being twenty acres owned by
Mrs. J. E. Brown of Memphis,
which will take from her the
name of Brown’s addition.
The tract parallels the Iron
Mountain for two blocks and
reaches back west three blocks.
C. R. Hite auctioned off the lots
last week and the average price
was over $100, which speaks well
for the enterprising and booming
little city of Tuckerman.

Time Tells
The vStory.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
