OF which was used by the family as a kitchen,

shutting the door, had gone to sleep, only to be

WHEN INDICATIONS.
FRIDAY-Local rains, followed by
fair weather; slightly warmer.


That is very expressive country English
word to describe damp, dripping, drizzly
weather. We don't quarrel with the word
nor with the weather. 1t is all the same to
us. AS we remarked the other day, our trade
goes right along. Each particular kind of
weather creates its particular demand, and we
are able to say that thus far we haven't had a
demand made on us that we couldn't satisfy.
To tell the truth, we honestly believe that if
the weather was to be different every day in
the year we could furnish something from our
vast stock that would be just the thing needed.
Manifestly we can't describe such stock as
that, SO we will merely mention one thing
now-Flannel Shirts. Blue; great variety;
single and double-breasted; rs cents to So.
