long period of depression is past.
Mr. +. S. Jaffray said in an interview
Thursday: "After period of depression

"Om business is 33 n per cent better than last
year In fact we have not had so good an
outlook in dry goods since the war. The
southern merchants have thus far been the
most important buyers, and they are pur-
chasing literally Most of the merchants
are out of debt, and many of our customers
brought the m 1ney with them to pay for
their goo Is, which is quite unusual with
them. Tho from the south, particularly,
appear most hopeful"
Mr.. Sweetser, of Pembroke & Co, said:
"The outlook is promising. Everybody was
bare of goods, and all are buying in moder-
the depreSSion W. have gone through.

and decided increa SO in trade over that of
last year People have been ecOnomizing
for So long time that the country has been
steadily growing richer They now have

Interests in all that pertained to the home and

Her declining years seemed to shave grown
brighter and brighter with immortal hopes. With
Joy through her painful illness she often quoted
the scriptures expressive of her interest in
Chrlst-aHd her last utterances We're, jesus
wept and died for all Jesus died Tor me-"
She thus lived to be missed, While her earthly
life has gone out, her spiritual has been but
transferred to the upper ornament To glow with
new and undated splendOr, that splendor de-
rived from the personally received and acknowl-
edged Christ AS her needed Savior
Her signs are lost in singing
she's blessed in her tears
Her journey heavenward winglng,
She leaves on earth her fears
And at the time appointed
A messenger came down
