If those who need and have
occasion to buy materials for
white dresses, such as India
Lawns, Victoria Lawns, Mulls
and Nainsooks, knew how much
lower our prices were than 9th

larger share of these goods this
season than ever before. There
is but little doubt that you can
buy as much of us for $500 as
elsewhere for $3.50, or as much

Get samples of the very lowest

along and let us match them.
You can then make a compari-

timents, and although the Republican party in
Maine has been identified with temperance re

There is only one theory of temperance
advocated by temperance men--Prohbi-
ton. We are divided enough ON Other
phases of the question, hut there is not one
temperance paper nor one temperance So
ciety in the whole land that favors high IL
cense. On this question temperance people
arc thoroughly united.
The advocates of this system are almost
entirely confined to the other side, and any
