We have to announce move in dress
goods that is bound to make sensa-

as many dress goods as he ever bought
before, the reason is because he bought
them so cheap. Goods well bought are
half sold so hurry up and get the best of
selections; prices from 12L to 1926.
And as to velvets, we placed our order
for them long ago,previous to the great
advance, we are enabled to offer them
at much lower prices tnan If they were
bought during the last few months. All
shades and styles. Prices from 37L TO
1925.
Our greatest bargains are in Black
Silk, but we will say more about them

SEVERAL winters ago the Mar
tinsburg Lyceum was fiourishing
institution, and afforded an oppor-
tunity for improvement and pleas
ure. The exercises were indeed in,
teresting, and the public attested
their appreciation of the lyceum by
attending it in force. Last year an
attempt was made to re.organize the
lyceum, but through some lack of
spirit either on the part of the men,
bers or the public, it proved failure.
Now that the winter is almost here,
another attempt will be made. Let
our people encourage it with their
presence. The next meeting will be
held in the old hall, in the Blondell
building, on Monday, Oct. 18th, at
s O'clock. The question is, Resolu-
ed, That the course of Cromwell was
justifiable. 1t will be debated in the
affirmative by Messrs. u. S. Grant

LAST Monday familiar face was
missed and will soon depart forever.
The kindly features of the Father of
his country will no longer, in famil-
lar green, he profiled on the stamp
that we have all learned to associate
with letters sent and letters receiv-
ed. For a generation this stamp
has grown familiar to eyes old and
young. 1t has guaranteed the
transmission for long years, of tons
upon tons of joy, of sorrow, of hope
and of fear. Its presence on the
corners of our letters have sent
them from Maine to California,
from Oregon to Florida, as Ger tainly
as from Martinsburg to Hedgesville.
The three cent stamp has served as
the synonym for epistolary matter,
back to the year when the middle
aged ones of to-day were learning
their pot-hooks. The new stamps
may be prettier, and certainly are
cheaper, but still, in the light of all
the old stamp has done, in peace
and war, and in peace again, the
DEAFNESS of the old is not purely a
question Of greater value. Years
must pass before the cheaper strang-
or can fill the place in the public
heart made vacant by the departure
