WOOD FOR THE PooR.-We have been re-
quested by DR.. Parker to say to the poor that
he will not issue any fuel this winter. He
sees 10 chance OF getting supply. Quite a
number Of persons apply at the Doctors
office daily, and others write letters in behalf
of friends, all of which cause much unneces-
sary trouble both to them and 10 him. The
city has commenced the issue Of wood, and
strangers who wish TO get it must procure
certificates from well-known citizens who,
from personal knoarledge, can say that the
applicant is too poor to buy.
Mr. II. o. Gary, near the packet office, has
advertised to sell fifty cords of wood, to those
unable to Tay regular rates, 1T 81 per quar-
ter of cord. There are doubtless other
benevolent gentlemen engaged in the wood
business who would make discount TO the
moor.

| The style of this firm is good. It sounds as
though it had backbone In 1t, and unques

and trunks is varied and excellent besides,
they have select stock OF chiidren's toys.
The good old motto in human enterprise is
| to put the best foot foremost. Get shoes
from this house, and both feet will be SO
equally respectable that you cannot make a
mistake. Eitheris best. Look to your feet,
gentlemen. If you would save your body
now, save your sole, else racking pains, and
colds, and pneumonia, &C., will seriously in.
terrupt your life.
And this concludes the fourth chapter ol
