GREAT DISCOUNT SALE
on Wednesday next, the 30th inst.
Until the close of business on the
day mentioned, we will continue to
offer our
ENTIRE STOCK,
ENTIRE STOCK,
ENTIRE STOCK
without single reserve at a discount
of Is per cent. from marked prices.
which marked prices are not fcti-
cious but represent the intrinsic
values of whatever to which they
apply.
Only three days more remain with
in which to take advantage of this
extraordinary inducement-one that
was offered at time coeval with the
beginning of a season and which ap-
plies, as it does yet, to
DESIRABLE GOODS
and not to the refuse that belongs to
the close of an active business sea-
son.
This great sale has been the most
successful of all our special sales IN
respect to the volume of business and
during the three days that yet re-
main we expect our facilities to be
severely taxed for the inducement
referred to has been tested and found
to be just what has been represented.
1t has been no catch-penny game,
but sale inaugurated and prose-
cuted-without any consideration of
profits or losses-to further busi-
ness policy that has never yet known
defeat-one that has placed its COM
modities in the hands of consumers
at fair prices. It has been the friend
of the consumer but the terror of
competition and this it will ever
continue to be for it recognizes the
principle even in business that ad-
that are reciprocal are the
most substantial.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

fully cut. He was in the act Of getting
into carriage in front of Mr.. Russell S
store, when some unknown person
knocked him down, and cut cash about
fifteen inches across the fleshy part of
the body. Drs Evans and Kollock were
summoned, and put twelve stitches in
the wound. The cash is the slash of a
razor, but the parties are unknown. 1t
is supposed that the attack was done for
the purpose to rob the German, as he
had just been paid off. This is terrible
outrage on peaceful citizen, and the
town officer should be alert and arrest
any person suspected of committing such
an outrage.
