To the Somerset Public.

At the close of the most sue
cessful year of our business ex-
perience in your midst, we feel
that a few words are due you OF
recognition of the kind support
with which you have favored us
in this, as in all of the four and
a-half years past. True, we
have used every honorable
means to render ourselves wor-
thy of these generous evidences
of your confidence in us; have
always exer.ed ourselves to car
nv a complete and well-selected
stock; have saved no pains to
offer only good article for your
use ; have tried always to give
the best value for the money
spent with US, and have kept
our prices down so that rich
and poor alike have been bene-
fitted; still we are convinced
that without your help we
could never have succeeded as
we have done, and we thank
you heartily for it all, and wish
you, one and all, a happy, pros
porous New Year.
Respectfully asking contin-
uance of the splendid patron
age which has made ours the
leading Shoe Store in Johns
town, and promising, in the fu-
ture, as in the past, to spare no
pains to deserve your support,
we are,
Yours Respectfully,

MY KNIGHT.
In days of old the warrior knight
To ionrner ro<ie afield

In days of old the warrior knight
To journey rode afield
In brazen greayes and corselet dight,
With sword and helm and shield;
His trusty lance in rest he bore,
And favor of his lady wore.
High courage on the battle plain,
In tilt and loyal quest,
Hatred of fear and scorn of pain
HIS valiant soul possessed;
Dying he only wished to feel
A foreman worthy of his steel
Be thine such royal need TO gain
As knighthood never knew,
Such lofty purpose to attain.
Such noble quest pursue,
While armed hosts in dread array
And ambushed foes beset thy way
Be strong of heart, Of purpose strong
As spurred and armored knight,
Be brave to fight against the wrong,
And loyal to the right,
And nobIer triumphs thine shall be
Than ever knights Of chivalry.
Let Vice throughout her broad domain
Before thy prowess fee,
And Virtue with her modest train
A champion find in thee,
And heart and arm and brain be strong
To help the weak and right the wrong.
