The time when trout may legally be
caught is fast drawing to close, and all
who love to indulge the sport must improve
the remaining days of July. Tho time for
purchasing cheap and fresh groceries of
Sechler Sc Co. will continue all year, and
the patrons of the store wish it would last
forever.
Mr.. Edward G. Humes has, during

widow, although not yet 30 years of age,
thus early followed her beloved husband
beyond the grave.

Although the weather predictions
made by Vennor, the Canadian, have not
always received II literal fulillment, yet

man in our recollection who has shown
greater dscernment is the one who said
that Sechler * Co.'S store would continue
to grow more popular with the people. A
large portion of the groceries now used in
this county come from that store.
