SIGNS OF THE TIMEs.-Each day the sun
mounts higher and his stay is longer. Each
day the mud deepens, and the fellow who ha q
grain to market, or seed to haul, wishes he had
done it before. Each day the heretofore SOL
Id moisture is liQuifying, and starting on its
long mysterious way to the sea. Each day
the early-riser hears the voice of the drum
ming of prairie chickens in the fields. In
town also may be seen signs of the faith that
Is in men that spring-time surely cometh.
For behold, instead of the fur caps and winter
wraps, may be seen on Thatcher's shelves an
ample display of hats and light hcad-gear, to
protect the upper stories of his hosts of Gus
toners from the heat and glare of ye spring
and summers suns, as erst whites, his heavy
goods parted the shafts OF the ice king. Look
and consider, price, buy and be happy!
