chased one Of the largest and best assorted

nous business we do in that line attests
the fact that we must SELL CHEAPER

is far greater. We will therefore call at

cents per yard; Floor and Table Oil
Cloths in almost every width quality and
price. A splendid line of DRESS GOODS,
all the latest styles Silks from 81 up; a
heavy Gros Grain for 81, as good as you
can get for 50 so; in Black AlpacaS we
defy competition; we have them from %
cents up To a beautiful Silk Warp for 81 .
W. have added fine and complete line
of MOURNING GOODS to our stock :
Australian Grapes, yard wide, so cts; all
wool Deltines, single width, 379 cents !;

Our stock ofCassimers, Jeans, Cottonades

market. Notwithstanding the hard times
we propose to PUT DOWN PRICES to
suit the times, and sustain our reput tion
for selling cheaper than any other house
in Martinsburg. No trouble to show

The last lecture in DR.. Lords popular
course comes off tonight. We may cx-
pect generous attendance, as an alto
gether new theme will be before us for
consideration, viz, representative of
literary women in the character of the re-
nowned Madame De Stael. We have seen
how the Doctors wonderful pen can de-
scribe the great features of history, the
stern conflicts between right and wrong,
and the varied lneaments of human char
acter, genius, and passion. Now that a
remarkable woman Of letters is to sit for
her portrait, we shall be curious to see the
pen pictures which the lecturer will draw
for our inspection.
Remember this is the last opportunity
we shall have to hear DR.. Lord this winter
at least, as other engagements take him tc
larger fields when he is through with us.

Editor Of the Globe In justice to my
self and Mrs. Clark; to Park street church,
Chelsea, Mass, in which we have held an
unimpeachable standing for three years )
to the Christian public endorsing our Ia
bors, and to numerous clergymen whose
letters of commentator we carry, please
permit me to protest against the paragraph
in your last Fridays issue.
All need say about the "debt" in Man
chester, is that, fifteen or sixteen years ago,
while | was lecturing for the Spiritualsts
in that vicinity, | accepted the meagre sum
of six or seven dollars partly as a con-
dtional loan for services | rendered.
Now that / have ''gone back" on Spirit.
ualism, some magnanimous Spirtualst has
trumped up a bill with fifteen or sixteen
years interest paid the bill, because
could not afford time to litigate the mat
ter, and because I wanted the receipt in
proof of specimen of meanness and re-
taliation without parallel. Yours,
UmAu CLARK.
