HE WAS RIGHT !!

An old farmer came into town the other
day accompanied by his son in search TOR
a Suit of Clothing for each of them He
entered one of the numerous Up Town
Clothing Stores and asked to be shown
some goods. After spending about an
hour in looking their stock: he left
not having found what suited him, neither
in the quality of goods he was in search
OF, nor the price, He went to search
eral other stores, but he could not be suit
ed in any of them and left one after the
other. The same old farmer could be
seen standing one of the up town
ers as if in deep thought. Finally smile
fitted across his face, and he turned and
said, 'My son, lets go down to Epstein &
Eel senheld's S, the One Prize square dealing
Cl0khaers, | sure that find
what want down there and what's
more don't need to be afraid of paying
for the same goods than anybody
else, for their goods marked in. plain
figures and anyone can see the price for
himsef.''
The old man was right He went down
to the One Price House asked to be shown
what he wanted and purchased the two
suits he in search of in few minutes.
Before he lett that immense establishment
he assured them that they had the largest
assortment of Clothing, Hats, Caps, Furn-
shng Goods and Trunks, he ever in
Parkersburg, and he satisfied that he
bought his goods IS per cent cheaper than
he offered them elsewhere and

Hair Seal Shot in Onondag ga Lake.
 rE,o,,, +Ia c-roo,,ea c+an5or5


 A well-developed and perfectly formed hair seal was shot near the outlet of Ononda ga lake yesterday by George F. Kennedy as he was returning from duck shooting and fishing excursion. Kennedy was rowing along on the Liverpool side, and had just rounded the pier, when he noticed a monde script animal fioundering in the shallow wa ter near the shore He quickly fired at the monster, whose white teeth gleamed through the water about 30 feet from the boat. The shot seemed to stun the animal, and it com mepced making some frightful contortions, flashing the water and swimming around in a circle. Kennedy reloaded and discharged three more shots as his prey, which, as it rose to the surface the third time remained quiet. Kennedy rowed over and dragged it into his boat. The animal was carried into the house of Thomas H. Rex, taxidermist. Mir. Rex declared the animal to be a hair seal, and accounted for it's being in Onondaga lake by saying that it probably came up the St. Lawrence and Oswego rivers, as many seals are shot yearly along the Gulf of St. Law renee, and for long distances up the river. They are we'll known to be very migratory in their habits, one of them having been shot near the head waters of the Mississippi three or four years ago, fact which caused con- siderable comment at the time. Being also amphibious, they are able to make their way over land for considerable distances, an abili- ty which would account for the passage of this animal from Lake Ontario to Onondaga lake. The hair seal is an animal entirely distinct from the fur-bearing animal of the same name, which is an inhabitant of the Arctic regions alone. The present specimen measures just six feet from tip to tip, and will weigh about 100 pounds.
