The Great
Bargain Room
at OAK HALL.

There never was any
where before, so far as we
know, such a sale of clothing
as is now going on at OAK
HALL, taking up the whole
ground floor. A hundred
thousand dollars worth of
good clothing, nearly all of
it new and fashionable, all of
it we'll made and of good
materials without exception
flor we make no other) is
being sold at prices which
bring loss instead of gain.
Clearing sales occur at the
close of every season; but
they commonly are sales of
broken assortments and odd
garments, and of small guam
titles.
Here toward the end OF
our most successful season
we are clearing out what
ever, for any cause, has
shown signs of being slow.
Thousands of whole suits
and overcoats and odd gar
ments as well,
Now the sole reason for
selling this mass of valuable
clothing, without even an at
tempt at profit, is that stated
above, which may be put into
different words, thus: To get
our stock into the most at
tractive condition, without
regard to immediate profit.
And so, while this sale is
going on, the choicest most
approved, most successful,
clothing we have is up stairs.
The prices there are not re-
duced at all. This sale will
hurt that while it lasts, be-
cause the clothing in the
bargain room is extremely
good. For this reason we
want it short; and to make
it short, the prices are low.
Bring back Promptly aUhat
1ox dox't aOant at tie price.
You can order by letter,
or buy here, according to
your own convenience. On
receipt of a letter from you,
will send the means of TAX
ing your own measure. Then
you can tell us what you
want near enough SO that
we can take the risk of suit
ing you.

Our Celebration.

The morning of the Fourth was
ushered in with the usual firing of
anvils and lire-crackers, but feeling
of sorrow rather than of joy seemed
to have fallen over the country, and
the day was passed us one of suspense
and mourning rather than OF rejoicing.
Although the day was hot and dusty
large crowds of people began to pour
into town at an early hour, and by
ten clock the streets were crowded.
At ten o'clock the procession formed
in front of the post office and led by
the River Falls Cornet Band marched
through the principal streets and to
Fosters Grove. Arriving at the grove
the band played one OF their finest Sc
lections which was followed by a very
impressive prayer by Rev. n. I. Blak-
eslee. Another piece of music was
furnished by the band after which
Miss Nellie Vannatta read the Decla-
ration of Independence in manner
which claimed the closest attention
from the large audience. Judge Eos
ter then introduced the speaker of
the day, Hon. II. i. Humphrey, who
delivered an excellent grafton. Mr..
Humphrey referred in fitting terms
to the great calamity which had be-
fallen the country in the attempted
assassination of President Garfield,
and but reiterated the sentiments of
his audience when he said he hoped
and prayed that the President might
live. After discussing the questions
of railroad transportation and monop-
olies rs effecting the interests of the
farmer he closed with fine eulogy
upon our nation.
After dinner = large number gath
cred in the park to witness the amuse-
ments, and the fireworks in the even
ing were also witnessed by a large
crowd. The entertainment of the day
was greatly enhanced by the excellent
music furnished by the River Falls
COrnat Band

The Winning of Wealth.

We believe the winning of wealth
to be a perfectly legitimate pursuit,
Wealth has great and benelicient uses,
and the world would go very slowly
if money could not be accumulated in
wise and enterprising hands; but
wealth may be used to make all men
near it prosperous and happy, or it
may be used to make them poor and
miserable. When rich man is only
excited by his wealth with the desire
to be richer, and goes on to exact larg-
er profits and to grind the faces of the
poor, III order that he may be super
fluously rich, he becomes inhuman
and unchristian. The Christian use
of wealth is what we need III this
country and in all countries. 1t is
not that wealth is not sufficiently tax
ed for the support of those who are
wrecked in health or fortune, but it is
that wealth does not give the people Il
chance to escape from poverty; that it
does not share it's chances with the
poor, and point the pathway for the
poor toward prosperity. AS a rule,
wealth is only brotherly toward wealth
and the poor man feels himself cut off
from sympathy with those who have
the power of winning money. We
may rest assured of one thing, namely
that the poor in the future will insist
on being recognized. II they are not
recognized-if they are ignored in the
mad greed for wealth at any cost to
them-they will make the future a
troubled and terrible one for our chill
dren and our children's children. -

HELP Your OWN TOWNSHIPS an
exchange: Either run your town up
with vim, or just let up and leave it.
One of two things should be done,
push things; find means or way to put
some go-ahead into the business; run
the town for all there is in it; gel
steam up and keep it up, or else quit
the whole thing. Vamoose the ranch
slide out and let nature have her OWN
way. Do you want tradet Bid for it.
Do you want business men to come to
town. Encourage those Who do come
Do you want to have prosperous
town where people can come disposed
to make it their home! Then do away
with, bury from sight, all local differ
ence, all jealousy, all spite, work nc
more for few individuals, but all work
together for common prosperity
and for mutual benefit. Wake up, rub
your eyes, roll up your sleeves, and go
tG work. Don't go with fear and trem.
bling, but take it for granted that
work will tell. Leave results to them
selves, borrow no trouble, but all unite
and make the biggest kind of try.
