Many persons will take Coat
for warmth and protection, re-
gardless of style, providing it is
low in price. We have over
hauled our entire coat stock, and
find some coats left from last
season. Some are short, some
are medium, and some are wraps;
all with few exceptions, being
made of fine cloth and we'll trim
med: they lack nothing but the
newest style and could well be
used for marketing, stormy wealth
er or riding. Some would even
pay to make over. The whole
lot is moved out of our regular
coat stock and marked at bargain
prices on separate tables. The
regular prices were not less than
IS and not over SIS, the reduced
prices will not be less than 81 and
not over Sc. One is before us
now at IS that sold for $40,
another at 81 that sold for S4,
and SO on through the lot. Any
one interested in a cheap coat
would find this lot worthy of inspec-
ton.

A Gard to Prohibitionists.

At the convention held in Ellsworth on
Saturday, Oct. 4th, the prohibition party
nominated q full county and legislative
ticket. In the selection of standard
bearers, wherever the Republican party
had nominated good, capable men, who
were unqualifiedly in favor of temperance
principles and temperance measures,
these names were placed ON the prohibit
ton ticket, but where men were deemed
''shaky" or incincere, other names, Of
men Of more reliable convictions, were
substituted. Thus ticket is presented
for your suffrages composed of men who
have convictions of right, and who have
the courage to assert them. 1t is a
clean, honest ticket. made up of men who
are not chronic office seekers, but many
of whom were selected for their conscien-
tious adherence to principle, and SOME
We're not aware that their names we're to
be used until the ballot announced their
nomination. 1t is ticket that all con-
scientious temperancemen can vote with
out an inward protest, and should receive
their hearty support and endorsement.
The candidate for member of Assem-
bly,, Mr.. J. B. Thayer, is a quiet, unas
Stunning gentleman, who enjoys the fepu-
tuition at his own homie Of being nian
of Integrity, Of uncompramising adher-
ance to principle, able in debate, of wide
and extensive knowledge of public men
and public measures, and thoroughly in
earnest in whatever he undertakes. By
accepting the nomination at the hands
of the Prohibition party and publicly
pledging himself I'd SUPPORT and work for
| the Submission of prohibitory amend
nent to the state constitution, he has
done all that the most radical prohibi-
zionist can ask, and at the same time has
made Of himself target for the enemies
| of temperance laws and order to tire at.
That he will lose some Republican votes
in consequence of this manly stand is
probable, but they should be more than
made good by the earnest work of the
temperance men. Let every temperance
voter rally TO his support, see that every
favorable vote is polled, and elect him #
possible by rousing majority. $50 =
