the Camp Ground,

WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 24.--Rev. Mr..
Manship preached last night from the text
ii Kings, V, 13. His discourse was inter
esting, but rather disconnected. After the
sermon only one penitent came forward,
but such was the interest manifested that
the meeting continued until II O'Clock.
The threatening clouds this morning prom
ised the much needed rain, but should the
wishes Of the residents be consulted, a
unanimous vote would be cast for sunshine
and dust during the next four days in pref
creDca TO rain and mud.
The early prayer meeting was under the
direction of Rev. A. IL. Thompson and was
well attended.
At 1890 Rev. Job Price preached to a
large congregation from the words found In
John xiv, L. "Let not your heart be troubled;
ye believe In God, believe also in Me-"
Promptly at O'Clock the little ones as
sembled in the tabernacle TO greet "the
children's friend,n Rev. II. s. France. After
hearing them reoite their verses, he told
them he would talk to them for five min
utes. They quickly replied, "That is not
hulf long enough lie gave them quite
an interesting address, which they all en-
joyed.

The Waning Season.

Mistakes are made in every

business, some clothiers to the
contrary Notwithstanding. We
are but human, not infallible;
therefore have we erred. The
mistake to which, in this in

our having bought, among our
Spring stock, several lines OF
Boys and Children's suits rather
too heavy for midsummer wear.
AS a result, they are still here.
They are just the weights, how
ever, which economical and far
seeing Mothers usually buy for
their Boys at this time Of year
for occasional wear now and for
general use during the Autumn
months, when the weather will
be too cool for very lightweight
clothing and not cold enough for
Winter garb.
We have applied the keen and
cutting edge of the knife Of re-
duction to these now desirable
goods as freely and effectually as
we have to the lightest and
gauziest Of Summer weights. SO
that Mothers who are interested
in having their Boys we'll and
seasonably dress cd at little cost

now an opportunity rarely pre-
sented to them of replenishing
their Boys and Children'5 ward

tual value. We do not quote
