one Price Cporh,ux House.

When we inaugurated the plan of re-
failing goods at wholesale prices people
doubted whether we could succeed or not.
We have, in the short space of three
months, demonstrated that it can be done,
and the result is, that we have increased
our business so per cent. We are con-
WINGED, that in order to do large busi-
ness, we must mark our goods, and sell
at small but regular profit. Some deal
ers will charge you a small profit on some
articles, and on other articles, of LARGER
amounts, increase the profit to an enor-
nous extent. We mark our goods at an
average per cent. be the article large or
small, and consequently it is clear that
the place to buy your goods is at the One
Price Clothing House, as we carry the
largest stock in Washington. We man
ufacture our own goods and mark every
article in plain figures, and at so low a
price as to defy competition.
Come and see us, at the One Price
Clothing Store, I'D door from the corner
in Hamilton's block, Washington G. H.

EDS. HERALD:
A few words. think, will not be out
of place in regard to the Sabbath-school
al Madison Mills. Although the town is
quite small, yet it has thriving Sabbath
school. The school is conducted by the
following named officers: Superintend-
ent, w. w. Sachel; Secretary, Miss Alice
Shuffiebarger; Leader of Music, Mr.. No
BILE, with Mr.. Sachel, Mr.. Noble, Miss
Alice Shuffiebarger, Miss Mary Grow,
Mrs. Crow and Mr.. Jas. Clark as teachers.
The Sabbath-shool is, think, under the
control of competent instructors, and is
making rapid progress in the work of the
Lord. The lesson, or rather the topic of
of the lesson, was that noble thought
which all should possess: "Being justi-
fed by faith, we have peace with God.' y
May the Christians of Madison Mills car
ry on their good-begun work and receive
a rich reward, is my hope and wish for
grand old Madison. w. M.
