Boots and Shoes.

ES- WILEY has just received a very
excellent assortment Of Boots and Shoes
of all kinds, among which are some very
cheap Ladies Overshoes, just the thing
for this weather. JOHN manufactures as
handsome and substantial Boots as any
person in the West, and his stock Is al
ways of a superior kind. He has been
long enough among us for every one to
know that his goods can be depended up
on, and that considering their quality,
he sells them at low prices. Our own
experience Of his work has been so emil
nently satisfactory. that we conscientious
ly and confidently recommend him to all
who want excellent boots and shoes.

Luxury.
E Reader, would you transport
yourself, in imagination, from the ice
and snow, and polar temperature of the
present, back to the warm, soft, balmy at
m~osphere, and the sunny scenes of Au-
tumn, with its most delicious fruitage ?
If so, just step into the store of Messrs.
KINsLEY a. BowLEY, and invest sixty
cents, by purchasing a can of those de-
licious Peaches which they have for
sale. Unless your experience is differ
ent from ours, you will find the fruit in
most admirable condition, looking as
fresh, and possessing nearly as much
flavor, as when they were first put up.
With the addition of cream and @
you can have a reproduction of one of
the best treats that your palate we re.
ceiyed.

Dec. 26. 1889.
The Report was. on motion, received
and adopted.
A bill from Mr.. FARGO Of twenty-five
dollars for the use Of the Empire House
for the late Annual Fair was presented
by the President for the consideration Of
the Society, the auditing officers being
unwilling to allow it without instructions
from the Society. On motion of Mr..
RANKIN, after some debate, the bill was
referred to the new executive committee.
The President offered an amendment
to the constitution. consisting of several
additional articles, which elected con-
siderable debate. participated in by the
President, Mr.. RANKIN, Mr.. Dickinson,
Mr.. BARrLE, Mr.. CLARK, Mr.. GLASS and
Mr.. GOULD. The amendment finally
passed in the following shape:
Article l2. Any person may become a
life member of this society, and entitled
to all the privilege of the same, by pay
ing into the Treasury the sum of Five
Dollars, or giving his note for that
amount. payable in ten years, in annual
installments Of so cents per year, with
interest at ten per cent. per annum. pay
able annually in advance ; the principal
to become a permanent fund for the So
ciety.
Article 10. Any person failing or neg
1ecting to pay each or any in%stallment on
his note, mentioned in Article ~ of this
constitution, as the same shall become
due and payable, shall forfeit his mem
bership herein. and all rights and bene-
fits accruing from the same.
Article IA. Any person. resident or
nonresident. may enter any article for a
diploma to be awarded by the society
upon the payment of one dollar into the
treasury.
Mr.. T. G.. BARrLE then stated to the
society that it appeared from the Score
tary's Report that the amount received
for membership during the past year was
Sl23. while the society had received from
the State Sl97. 1t was we'll known that
the State appropriates to each society one
dollar for every one received for mem
bership, under 5000. The Secretary
had valued his services at between fifty
and sixty dollars. and donated it to the
society in the form of receipts for men,
bership. This with the money received
at the gate. made up the sum of Sis7.
and was the basis ofthe application made
to the State for money under the law
Although deemed informal it was paid.
Mr. HART now presented : bill Of $50
for his services as Secretary. and Mr..
BARrLs. lin view Of the fact that his du-
ties had been onerous. and of the addi-
tional fact that the Secretary had secured
this amount from the State for the Socie-
~, urged that it should be paid.
After some debate the bill was refer
red to the. Executive Committee.

ready favorably known in our midst. and
those wishing to build during the com
ing season would do well to consult
him.
