The Grange advance., 1876-11-29

IT is not yet definitely settled whether
there is to be war in Europe, but the
indications strongly sustain the opinion
that it cannot be avoided, and will

advance of fully ten per cent in Boots
and Shoes, we are still selling and
shall continue to sell at old figures dur
ing the season. Our motto is the best
for the least money.

Of a horse each, on the result of the
election in New York State. The
former betting that Hayes would get it,
OF course, lost the bet, and about ten
days ago he brought in the horse and
delivered it to Mr.. Field. 1t seems,
however, that the horse was more seri-
ously affected by this occurrence than
any other party to it, and his morti6oa-
tion was so great that he yielded up the
ghost few days ago, being unable
longer to endure the ignominy.
We are requested to publish the fol-
