Where the Dollar Goes Furthest.

hCiC thC bViiui uOtS TuTtHeSt.
The approach OF the holidays make one
feel as though every dollar should have at
least two hundred cents, for many things
have to be bought. The little ones ex-
pect their presents, so do employees and
servants, and if the pocket is not entirely
drained by that time, friends and other
dear ones have to be remembered. If We
cannot make dollar worth double its
value, we can at least try to secure as
much for it as can possibly be got, and if
you will for this purpose call at Simon
Bros, establishment, you will leave their
place after having made your purchase
with smile OF satisfaction upon your
countenance.
The bargains in Fancy Goods, Ladies
Bags and Satchels, Handkerchiefs, Lace
Goods, Gloves, Jewelry, Wooden Goods
and everything else comprised in the
millinery and fancy goods line, are such as
will induce everyone visiting the place to
purchase something. y

Grand Rapids Hustlers

Our neighboring city of Grand
Rapids have a live firm there this
season buying produce Of all kinds and
we understand it has had a good effect
on the market and helped the business
men of that city generally. We refer
to the firm of Talmadge & Blodgett
who have been doing rushing busi-
ness since early last fall. They buy
beef, pork, potatoes, onions, corn,
beans &C., and do large wholesale
business among the lumbermen, the
greater part of their sales being made
in car lots. They make speciality of
baled hay and have two presses in
operation. We have never met Mr..
Talmadge, but understand he is a
thorough business man. Charley
Blodgett is wide-awake young ousi-
ness man and is good buyer and seller.
He was in this city on his way to
Rhinelander the first of the week,
where he has worked up supply trade
among the lumbermen.-SteUens Point

Splendid Progress.

There can be no question but that
the Sabbath Schools of this city are
doing a grand work for our people
They have made rapid progress during
the past year. 1t requires much labor
to accomplish the results obtained and
the people should not fail to take an
active part in supporting the work in
the way of encouraging their children
to attend promptly and regularly and
give kind word of encouragement
occasionally, at least to the children.
The work at the Cong'l Sunday
School, for the past year, has been the
most successful in It's history. Not
withstanding the loss of many grown
up young people who have dropped
out, the school has made large gains
in every respect. Additional rooms
have been fitted up for the increase.
Mr.. /. j. Wood, its superintendent
for the past five years, has worked un-
ceasingly and with the efficient aid of
others interested in the work, have
built up school that is credit to the
state. The following facts will be
read with interest:

The exercises at the NJ. E. Church
Christmas Eve were largely attended.
They were conducted by Supt. D. j.
Cole and consisted of singing, recita-
tions and the rendition of the drama of
Bethlehem. At the close Miss May
Norton was presented with fine
boquet holder and card receiver which
was presented by Mr.. Cole on behalf of
the school and society. Miss Norton
accepted them aud made few appro-
pirate remarks. To Mr.. D. D. Demar-
ais was presented handsome plush
dressing case the following day as he
could not be present. The children
were all treated to candy and nuts, A
nice time was enjoyed by ALL

The exhibition given last Friday
evening under the management of
Kate W. Howe was, in our opinion,
neither soul-inspiring nor mirth pro-
voking. In fact it was tedious and
tiresome. It consisted of series of
tableaux, mostly representative of army
scenes or patriotic sentiment; recita-
tion or two; and the fancy Zouave
drill by Mrs. Howe. The different
scenes were strikingly similar, and the
time between acts was tediously long.
In speaking thus plainly of the affair
we have duty to perform. We trust

The entertainment was in many
respects, excellent, and had there
been less talk and nonsense concerning
Mrs. Howe, and general assistance
given, there is no question but the
entertainment would have been all
that could have been desired. Con.
sidering all things as they occurred,
the success was remarkable Comman.

A sad accident befell Mrs. KRONER
Saturday evening. While on her way
to the NJ E. Church, she crossed the
street at Martins corner and turning
quickly, slipped and fell to the earth,
breaking the thigh bone little below
the hip joint. 1t was several minutes
before she was discovered. Five men
carried her home. DR.. Robinson was
called and set the broken member.
Mrs. Kroner suffered excruciating
pains until Wednesday when she was
feeling much easier. Her recovery
will be necessarily slow as she is now
54 years of age and has been rather
feeble for some time back. Universal
sympathy is expressed for this venera-
BILE Christian lady at her unexpected
misfortune. Her son Allen is expected
home to-day.

DEATH OF GEN. ULYSSES S. GRANT.

Gen. Grant died at Mt. McGregor, n. Y,
last Thursday morning, at 8 minutes past
s o'clock. Since his removal to that place
his condition had been variable until Tues
day, when symptoms of a sinking condl-
ton became manifest, the indications grow
ing more alarming on Wednesday and We'd
nesday night, and with the advent of Thurs
day morning the marked change in his con-
dition was significant. The death chill at
the extremities was increasing and the use
of hot applications to keep warmth in the
extremites and vital parts was resorted to-.
They were of some avail, but the artificial
warmth was without power to reach the
cause or stay the results of dissolution.
Hypodermcs of brandy were frequently
given to stimulate the tagging physical
forces but they were so far spent as to furnish
no footing for rebound. Indeed the efforts
of the medical men were being made be-
cause none could stand by inactive and
without trial of eXpedients that might pro-
long life an hour or a minute.
The morning had passed minutes beyond
eight o'clock and there was not one OF the
strained and waiting watchers but Sho could
mark the nearness Of the life-tide to its final
ebbing. 1t was five minutes after eight
O'Clock, and the eyes of the General were
closing. His breathing grew more hushed
as the feeble functions of the heart and lungs
fastened the closing of the eX-President's
life. The peaceful expression seemed to be
deepening in the firm and strong lined face
and it was reflected as the closing comfort
in the sad hearts that bent quietly under
the stress of loving suspense. A minute
soon passed and was closing as the General
drew deep breath. There was an eXhala-
tion like that of one relieved of a long and
anxious tension The members of the group
were impelled, each to step nearer the bed,
and awaited another respiration. But it
never came. There was a stiffness in the
room and hush of eXpectant suspense,
and no sound broke the silence save the
singing of the birds in the pines outside the
cottage and the measured throbbing of the
engine that all night had waited by the
little mountain depot down the slope.
ut is all over," quietly spoke DR.. Doug
lass and there came then heavily to each
witness the realization that General Grant
was dead. The doctors withdrew, the nurse
closed the eyelids and composed the dead
Generals head, after which each of the
family group pressed to the bedside, one
after the other and touched their lips upon
the quiet face so lately stilled.
