all that is claimed for them. Hun

Arpin & Sherry, at Germantown,
write rs that they are having splen-
did trade in lumber. and have got
prices way down, in order to secure
the trade and dispose of the large
amount they have on hand. The
farmers are taking advantage of their
low rates. and as consequence Messrs.
Arpin & Sherry are selling lots of
lumber, and those contemplating
building will do we'll to buy soon, for
there is no likelihood that lumber will
ever again be as low as it is now. A
word to the wise is sufficient. A year
from now lumber may be fifty per
cent. higher than at this time. =

G. FL. Slocum had very easy "tip-
over" last Monday while out riding
with lady friend. 1t seems that he
desired to pass two teams just opposit
G. j. Jaekson's residence, Centralia,
and while in the act of passing the
outside sleigh runner cut down in the
deep snow up-setting the cutter COM
pletely. Charley being on the right
side he fell to the bottom of the heap,
and the weight of his lady applied on
his head and shoulders drove him out
of sight in the snow bank. His horse
stood patiently waiting the return of
his master from the depths of that
snow drift, while his lady started off
for dress pattern. Further particu-
lars will be given by Mr.. Slocum the
druggist, on demand.
