winter has assumed undisputed sway and
Mr.. Grounding has been, gone aud seen his
shadow, there is no further excuse for de-
cliuiug TO call at the renowned Oak Hall
Clothing Store of s. j. Hess, 2i1 and 243
NJ lin street Johnstown, and investing in a
comfortable outfit, which can now be bought
at the lowest of panic prices, as a clearance
of shelves for the coming spring stock is what
Mr.. Hess desires, no matter what the sacri-
