Our friend Mr. Vail s. Barker is the
owner of probably the Oldest book in this
section-a series Of lectures on the fourth
chapter of John, printed in 1852. 1t
will be remembered that we made some
mention of this book in the last issue of
our paper. On the day following the
publication of that paper, froHl fifty to
one hundred persons called on Mr.. Bar
ker to regale their eyes with a sight of
the musty old tome, and the rush of curl
osity-seekers has continued ever since,
until now nearly everybody in town has
looked at it, laughed at it maybe, and
criticised it to their hearts content. If
there should yet be one among our local
readers who has failed to see the book,
he should go and see it now. Inquire
for Vail S. Barker's Cheap Cash Store
the great dispensary of bargains in ready
made clothing, dry and dress goods, hats
and caps, boots and shoes, hardware, gro
cories, sc, for the people of Ebensburg
and vicinity.
AMONG the witty aphorisms on the
unsafe topic of credit are Lord Alvanley's
description Of man who "muddled away
his fortune in paying his tradesmen's
bills ;" Lord Oxford's remark that timber
is san excrescence on the face OF the
earth, placed there by Providence for the
payment Of debts ;" and Pelham's argu-
ment that "it is respectable to be arrested
for debt, for it shows that the party once
had credit +" Credit is very convenient
thing in its way, but it is infinitely more
convenient to pay as you go. "Pay as
you go! is the golden maxim. Live
within your meaps-buy what you need
at A A Barker's mammoth store, E6-
ensburg-keep out OF debt. Then you
must prosper in life.

be here Acting on this knowledge, the

commenced closing out their magnificent
stock Of winter clothing, winter dress

ment of spring goods ever brought to
