Auction Goods
FOR CASH!
REVOLUTION IN PRICES !!
Buy Right and Money is Already
Saved!
We buy our Goods at Auction Houses and who
has ever attended these auctions will notice how
prices fuctuate. and will mark the steady downward
tendency sale after sale, and day after day straight
through the season, afordng to real Judges OF goods
capital chances to underquote the regular market
by at least 20 to s. cent and to sell to the pub
lic and TO men to the retail at less than the case
price at the mill.
AN IMPORTER. HARD UP,
Note is due tomorrow and money must be had, he
tunbles his goods into the auction rooms where
cost OF no cost,
THEY MUST GO.
We 6uY them at nearly our own Price.
Money is tip-top thing, but brains is the Master.
WEI BUY OUR GOODS CHEAP
and our profits already saved and made, giving
us double the advantage Of selling at prices that
MUST CRUSH THE OPPOSITION,
who will at once start cry that goods are sto-
len that about to fail, getting up reputa
ton without the expense OF adVeftS1nS-SO
by iudicious management we may easily turn the
cnemy's guns upon his retreatns line or put him
in harness upon double duty.
To-day a Wooden Mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will he displayed in the auction and
sold for half its value. Next day Hosiery house
fails their stock goes to the place and sold at
an immense sacrifice. So day after day, through a
dozen auction houses these bursting merchants and
these moonshine miionaircs go crushing through
at prices that bewilder both buyer and seller only
to prove that, in this advanced age of stubborn and
uuyelding fighting, it is your duty to make every
edge cut, and to take advantage OF every chance
these giant engines afford.
WE DO NOT PRETEND,
nor do we wish to lead the public to believe that
we keep full or regular assortment OF goods; we
buy everything at auction if get it below its
value, without regard to getting up assortment
but what we have got will be sold at astonishingly
low prices.
Our present stock consists principally of
Gentlemen's Undcrgarmcnts,
Clothing, Cassmeres, Cloths Cassinets, Hats and
Caps, Notions, and all kinds of Boots and
Shoes, Ladies' Shawls, a large
assortment of Furs,
principally misses and chldrens'.
OUR AUCTION SALES will continue as heretofore
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, to commence at
I o'clock in the evening, except at the monthly
courts, when we will have our auction sales in dav
lime, and commence at 10 o'clock in the morning.

INSTEAD of the colony of Liberi;

INSTEAD of the colony Of Liberia
civilizing and chris tianizing the neigh
boring tribes, after test of some
thirty Q, forty years, it has finally be-
come patent to all, that unless assis-
lance is rendered by outside powers,
Liberia will be swallowed up by the
native Africans, and the descendants of
the colonists relapse into the barbar-
ism from which their forefathers
emerged only by contact with the eau
casian. After all, isn't slavery prefer
able to barbarism? "You can't make
silk purse out of suw's ear"
The above paragraph, taken from a
Democratic exchange, shows that away
down in the "true inwardness" of the
Democratic party, despite its present
professions, there still turks the old
hatred of the negro, and hope,
however faint, that slavery will
some day be restored. All that
is wanted is some plausible pre-
text, such as that intimated above,
perhaps, and you will hear the great
mass of that party clamoring for its
restoration. "You can't make silk
purse out sow's ear" neither, ii
seems, can you eradicate the hatred Of
the negro and the love vf slavery from
the average Democratic mind.

WE this week lay before our readers
the Presidents message, and synop.
sis Of the accompanying documents, in
the form of a supplement. While we
regard the message, on the whole, as
very sound document, we confess
that we do not quite relish the Presi
dents langnage in introducing the con-
clusion, where he says
"As this will be the last annual message
which / shall have the honor of transmit.
ting to Congress before my successor is
chosen, | will repeat or recapitulate the
questions which deem of vital importance
which are to be legislated upon and set
tied at this session.
This language, it strikes us, looks as
though the President was anxious that
the people in casting about for some
one to succeed him, should bear in
mind that he was still "sound upon the
goose" and might therefore appropri-
ately be chosen. We have no fears of
the Republican convention renominat-
ing Grant, nor is it at all certain that
the President either desires or expects
it to, but for the sake of avoiding even
the appearance evil, we could wish that
he had couched the above paragraph
in different terms,

No paper in the STATE is stronger
advocate of thorough, truthful criti-
cism of the conduct of men called to
positions of trust or honor than the
Neos, yet we hold that it should be
INDUCED in only to enlighten the peo-
pie and not crafty any personal spleen
or to pamper any local prejudice.
Therefore, as an independent paper we
feel called upon to speak our honest
thoughts as to the policy the Dodge
Vile CHRONICLE has adopted toward
Ansley Gray, the member elect from
the Northern district of Iowa county.
A few months since, Mr.. Gray came to
Avoca,a young man fresh from college,
and located there for the practice of
law. Being warmly welcomed by
those who knew him, and having some
oratorial ability, he soon was induced
to accept the nomination for the As
sembly, and was elected.
During the campaign large amount
Of campaign thunder was manufacture
ed from the fact Of 'shis being boy
in years" and "new conner in tie
district" Every issue of the CHRONICLE
before and since the election has con-
tanned some attack upon Mr.. Gray.
The whole end and aim of that paper
to-day seers to be to squelch young
man whose largest fault is his politics,
and whose great misfortune is his age.
1t is unnecessary to say that such as
suits can irjure no one. They are
only to be read to illustrate how fan
partisan paper can go "to find filth tc
fill its columns or vent its spleen
--MuscodG Neaos
Distinguished writer's on aesthetics
Gas the Mineral Point Democrat
would say) have frequently remarked
that "those who look through green
glasses usually see green objects,
and the same remark will doubtless
apply with equal truth to other colors.
We would, therefore, respectfully re-
quest the editor of the Neacs to lay
aside his gray spectacles (Which he
must have had on while writing the
above) long enough to examine the
files of the CHRONICLE during and
since the late campaign, satisfied that
if he does so he will discover that the
above article entirely misrepresents
both our course and our present posi-
ton towards the person whom at this
late day he has seen fit to champion,
In the first place, "every issue of the
CHRONICLE before and since the cleo
tion," has not CONTAINED some attack
upon Mr.. Gray" nor have our columns
at any time shown our "whole aim
and object to be to squelch" him.
Since the elect ion, We have attacked
Mr. Cry in but one article, and in
that we said less, rather than more,
than was warranted by the facts.
But we have no intention of review
ing our course in this matter, as it is
not necessary. We simply ask of the
Meas that in future it shlld exercis
its professed principles IN dealing
with it's neighbors, and avoid using
criticism merely for the qualification Of
its personal spleen or for the purpose
Of pamperiDg seme local prejudice.
