FEBRUARY.

When it comes to February we do not
stick at trif1e. We take inventory about
the end of the month, and we would rather
net have anything to list, about the value of
which there is any doubt. LACES are OF
rather uncertain value lately. We have laid
out q large quantity, or we should rather say
a l.-ge variety, of laces, which SO far as we
on them as anything in the city,, and in
stead of marking them down separately, have
instructed the clerks to deduct just ONE
HALF from the amount of each sale from
that lot. That ought to make them go sure
Those 3sc ribbed wool hose for ladies that
is, the Gee hose at &c., are not all gone yet.
We told you last week we had a good many
of them. We couldn't say that now, but
they will go round for a day or two anyway.
We sold some cottons too cheap last week,
and shall likely do it again this week, but
You will have to come and see. We don't
care to ''give away these things too freely
in the papers.
About the best selling dress fabric at pres
ent is the tricot weave. We can buy that
kind of goods good deal cheaper than we
could some time ago; and, besides the low
prices, that 10 per cent. discount should not
be forgotten. We shall keep these discounts |
going till inventory-10 per cent. on plain
colored all wool dress goods, IS per cent. on |
plaids and fancy wool goods, and 25 per cent. |
on cotton and wool colored goods.
There is no discount on Silks: there can't |
be. Our prices on these are altogether too
ow to admit of any further allowance.
An announcement that we made in some
Of the papers lately about 75c white
shirt-a kind of challenge it was-eaused a |
little ripple Quite a number of people actu-
ally did, to our knowledge, compare our 75c
shirt with so-called dollar shirt that was
advertised at 75c, and every time we came
off with flying colors. We have no doubt
good many more made the comparison with
out saying anything to US about it. Let 9th
ers try it; that is. let them try to find any
where dollar shirt at 75c that is as good as
our 75c shirt.
Gentlemen should drop in when passing
and see how cheap they can buy fine scarfs
of us at present. The counter is at OUR east
srn door,

highest tribute to her genius and to the
elevated tone Of her writings, he said :
can not but believe thatshe has made
one grave mistake, and that, say what
we viii, or love her for her beautiful
genius as We do, she must answer for
it, He added. however, that he felt
under such obligations TO her that he
would as soon make accusation against
his own mother or sister as to press the
accusation against her. slS5 5..S

1885, is S9l. 7SS 81, Of which amount
SSl,O OBS 81 had been paid into the

sum of only $3.50 delinquent. In view
OF the depression seriously affecting all
