The auction sales which have been
conducted in this city the past month
closed Tuesday evening having been
the most successfully conducted auction
sales ever in the city. Messrs M. J..
and NJ. d. l.. O'Rourke the proprie-
tors have been gentlemanly and fair
with their large number of customers
and have reaped their reward, having
Melted 800 during their brief stay.
These gentlemen were polite and agre-
able to all whom they came in contact
and differed materially from the usual
auctioneers. During their sales they
freely announced to the people the
privilege Of returning any and all
articles purchased and money would be
refunded. This agreement was strick-
ly carried out. The sales have effect
ed home trade in this city, but much
of their trade was received from
people who bought because they con-
sidered the offers cheap. However,
many paid more for some articles than
is charged here at home, but It's being
an auction sale goods must be chea per.

members of the churches who

Talking Before Children.
P. V. G..

The mother who avoids any but
pleasant comments on others in the
presence of her children will succeed
best in giving to the world warm
hearted children and sympathetic men
and women, who shall assist in light
ening the burdens of their day and
generation. We might add as a special
of this truth, a warning
to parents not to criticise their child's
teacher in its hearing, still less to
speak disparagingly or evil of him.
Nothing they can do will as speedily
and completely paralyze the teachers
influence and usefulness. 1t may be
thoughtlessly done, but it is cruel to
the teacher and to the child
Moravian.

Parties using celluloid goods may
take warning from the experience had
at our home Tuesday morning, as it is
highly infammable material. Little
Leo had taken a celIuloid comb from
the bureau drawer and was playing
around the coal stove, unknown to his
mother who was in the kitchen. Mrs.
Fontaine's attention was called by
cries of the child and rushing into the
front room found the house on fire
and the comb still burning. She put
out the fire and on examining the
baby found his eyebrows and eyelashes
were singed and slight burn over
the left eye. We feel thankful that
it was not more serious and warn all
people from using or keeping any of
these goods about their premises.

arising from tax-title deeds. and is
similar to the actions pending in Price

been necessary for her to be sent twice TO
