TO THE FRONT

The time has come for a change from
Spring to Summer wear. Goods well
bought are half sold. There is no truer
aphorism in business than this, and we
confidentially say there has been no
time since we began business, when our
stock would better illustrate the maxim.
Not only have we been enabled to take
advantage of some great bargains offer
ed at forced sales, which have been more
unusually active this season, but our
own buyer has been specially favored in
purchasing the Summer stock now on
our counters. We opened the Summer
Assortment with unusal satisfaction for
two reasons: LIST, That the Goods them
selves were fully up to the standard. and
end, That they had been bought on such
favorable margins that we c0lld give
our customers a special benefit. We only
ask an inspection to convince you that
we have secured some EXTRA BAR
GAINS. and that our stock in general
has been equally well selected and close
ly marked in assortment. quality and
style, the record Of other seasons
has been equalled, while in prices We
are prepared to surpass il chiefly for the
above reasons. We want every one who
visits our store 10 feel thoroughly at home.
We cannot expect TO make friends OF you
unless you feel that you have a perfect
right to make criticisms, and compare
prices with those Of any other response
BILE dealer in our line. Do not then hesi-
tate TO come in whether you purchase at
the same call or not. We will be glad
to see you at any time, and il will be our
fault il we do not at once make you feel
perfectly at home.

LEONE LOCAL CHAT.


OF last week, was most attractive and
successful entertainment of the sea-
son. The mansion and grounds were
brilliantly illuminated, and the floral
decorations were very tasteful and
handsome. Night was turned into a
reflection of day, on the grounds, by
means of four large refectors, and a
multitude of gas burners, and Japan
csc lanterns that no man could num-
Der Except perhaps the man who
owned the tired arms that hung them
up j and the effect, with the wierd
shadows of the trees overhead, and
the grace and beauty of all shades
and shapes that fitted over the green
sward, resolving and revolving into
incessant kaleidoscope veins of hui
man atoms, was indescribably beau
tiful.
The Lawn was thronged with Wis.,
itors at an early hour, and the house
thrown open to those who desired to
hear the musicale. All available
space in the great wide entrance, and
the large drawing rooms, was occu-
pied, and many unable to obtain en-
trance.
The programme was pleasing and
varied in selection; the chorouses
from the Mikado, Miss Mai Faulkner,
piananist, were wellrenderedc consider
ing the short time spent in rehearsal.
The Piano Solos in selections from Be-
thoven, Levbach, List, and Ravina,
were all beautifullyrendered in the Or
der above named by Miss Minnie Fra
ger, Miss Mary Stribling, Miss May
Ditto & Miss Belle Stewart. The Ban
10, Solo, a duett by Miss Mai Faulk-
ner and Mr.. Nolan, was excellent. A
rare treat of the occasion was a very
difficult and beautiful Clarionette
Solo, with accompaniment, by Pro-
fessor Luscomb. A Vocal Solo,
4" Song of Greta " and recitation
Mona's Waters, by Miss Mai Faulk-
ner were rendered in an artistic and
faultless manner, and elicted many
compliments. " Dreaming" a Vo-
cal Solo, was sang with feeling and
effect by Mr.. Stuart Walker.
The City Band gave some of their
choice selections; and latterly but by
no means least, the Presbyterian girls
who had charge of the refreshments,
made most ingenious and effective
appeals to the inner man. AS mat
ter of unadulterated fact (which is
tacitly ignored because it has a gross
material flavor and this is an aesthetic
age, you know there are no strong
er arguments come out of the mouth
than those that go in, and an address
to the stomach finds cordial recogni-
ton, while high art is snubbed with
out fear or favor, So it happens that
the pretty Marthas of the occasion
were patronized until the larders were
pare, ana barely escaped being eat
up themselves.
The receipts were liberal beyond ex-
pectation; and the ladies in charge of
the entertainment return many thanks
to the public for their liberal patron
age, and to those who kindly assisted
with the concert. 1t was graceful
and kindly action of Judge Faulkner
and his wife, to not only give the use
of the Lawn and Mansion for the oc-
casion, but to also extend their per-
sonal supervision to all the arrange
ments and details,-Ia work neces-
sarily laborious and wearisome,-l
and to whom the success of the en-
tertainment is largely due.

Mr.. MeSSman, who is known as q
first-class workman in his line, has
been awarded the contract for keep
ing the Corporation time-piece in
methodical regularity, and says he
means to give us better time than we
have had for years, and so far the old
clock is well in hand. OF course it
always runs too fast for lovers, and too
slow for school boys, but it will take
a greater than Mr.. Messman to strike
satisfactory average on such an ex-
treme division of public sentiment.
The great question" Where are
you going the 4th ?n All plans
point to an exodus, and town will
masquerade as the deserted village
unless the Mexicans take pity on it
and scatter little vermillion around.
Their entertainment is spoken of as
unique and interesting, and deserving
of liberal patronage.
Charley Smith has been on the sick
list, but is now recovering.
The Louisville COWier-J0a1ad1 tells
the following from Senator Henry G..
Davis -
"They have some original characters
in these mountains. Once L heard a
really eloquent sermon at church
ten miles north of the park. But
you can imagine my surprise when,
in the midst of a burst of rhetoric,
the reverend orator clasped his hands
in ecstasy above his head, and, lifting
his eyes heavenward like a saint, ex-
claimed My friends, all the world
shouted for joy when the good news
of Christ's birth flashed over the
wires"
Apropos of small sized disserta-
ton on " Art and Life among the
English" Watterson says in his letter
from London, " Bulwer was brute
and Dickens was sham" This is
startling information to come from
such reliable source as the immacu-
late and infallible Henri, and may
have the bad effect of depriving this
country of Irving's contemplated lee
ture course. Anyway, Henry is wise
to attack dead men and as Shakes
peare's curse stops short of his bones,
we may expect to see the Bard OF
Avon blown into nothingness at the
next breath of this great reform-edi-
tor of Democracy from the United
States. who wouldn't be any the worse
of little reform himself.
