IT WILL B
About a. Weeks

Before | shall remove my STOCK
! OF GROCERIES into the room
known as LYNCu's BOoT AND SHOE
Room. During this time propose
to make things livelicr than ever in
the Old Store by selling Groceries
CHEAP.
| have just been receiving large
additions to my stock, including a car
load of the famous KANSAS SNOW
FLAKE FLOUR, made from Choice
White Winter Wheat, and without a
doubt it is the best BRAND of Flour
ever sold in Ottawa. 1t only needs
a trial to convince any one that "the
best is always the cheapest"
would like to say just few words
to the drinking public about our Teas.
| have never done much blowing on
that score, but will say NOW, or any
lother time, that am selling a BET
TER Tea at IS per cent. less money
than any house in this town, and |
will prove it by every man and woman
that will buy trial pound. have a
Japan Tea, called the "Scooper," that
we sell for soc per b., and if it don't
out steep any Tea at 75c | will give
them a pound of Lorillard Tobacco
for 65c.
We pay cash for Country Produce
and sell it for cash. We don't sell
some things for less than cost, as
some others do, for a bait, but put
everything down at the lowest living
Cash Prices.
Let come what will, no matter what
goods are sold at, you will always
find us standing by OUR MoTTo-
GOOD GROCERIES.
| wish to say to Mr.. A. Lynch's
Grocery Customers that have pur-
chased his entire stock of Groceries,
and if any Of them will favor me with
a call will endeavor to do as well BY
them as they can do elsewhere in the
city, and will guarantee to give them
at all times the best Goods that can
be had in the Grocery Line.
Respectfully yours,

Snow.baIIing n Chinaman.

That lnveterate scamp, jeff Davis,
excited the humor of large mum Der OF
spectators on Market street, yesterday,
who stopped to look at the frantic efforts
of an Oriental trying to catch the atore-
said JEFF. 1t appears young Davis
thought it would be good joke to ini-
tiate the Chinaman IN the good old
American custom, so popular at this
season. SO what does the scamp do but
prepare real nice snow ball, real
"soaker.' One of those kind that when
it strikes, you'd think mule had got q
square kick ut you. Alter good aim he let
silver, striking "John' in the tenderest
place about his person. As soon as the
number OF stars sufficiently diminished
before the vision OF the the almond eyed
son of the east to permit him to think, he
took in tie situation, and young "Jet's"
broad grin of delight At about the same
moment. Me no sllowee such d-m
nOncencee," he shrleked Tor words to
that effect as he tore after the
mulstto like an enrsged bull. JEFF
was on the alert IN an instant and
cut disgonally across the street
and then back, with john
after him, both above their ankles
in snow, slush and mud Sometimes
JEFF would be almost within the clutch
o. the irate pursuer, but just as capture
seemed certain he would make sharp
turn or quick msneuver that would dis
tsLce and sort of bewilder his enem !.
The bystanders enjoyed the fun hugely
and split their sides correspondingly.
The Chinamsn kept up the chase Tor a
square, when he gave 1t up rs futile
job, while Jef's grin over his victory be-
came so extended that the position of the
upper and lower halves OF his head were
not unlike the shells of an oyster after q
hard bake.
