IT,. Moore says all the winter
goods in his store have got to go. He
has clothing, underwear, gloves. NIT
tens, boots, shoes aud overshoes etc.
intended for winter use and he Is low
ering prices SO that every particle of
stock will go. Stock III other lines
will also he reduced in order to make
room for 4 largely Increased ami CON-
pletely new stock of fresh goods III
the spring. A great many people
have already purchased their winter
supplies, but those who have not and
who could defer making purchases
till now will make money by it. Mer-
chants now are becoming anxious to
see winter goods going and are ready
to sacrifice something in prtce-at
least this is the way Mr.. Moore puts
1t Now when you start out in search
of bargains, bear him in mind and
be sure to give him call.
This year C. w. Rohue & Go. made
large preparations fer the holiday
trade. This trade the severe storms
materially interfered with, and they
still have large quantities of holiday
goods on hand. TO prevent carrying
these goods over till another season,
they have concluded to put prices
down to such figure that people will
buy anyhow, whether the goods are
in or out of season. There are books
and numerous other kinds of goods
that are always in season which are
made to share the slaughter i'll prices
as well as goods that are adapted only
for holiday use. G. w. Rohne & Co.
always have large quantities of first
class goods OH hand aud always have
rare bargains in store for their custo-
mers, but under the circumstances
this firm is Offering just now many
unusual and desirable inducements to
purchasers and it will pay you well
to call and look their stock over and
see how many substantial and valu-
able articles little money will buy.
It is said that the superintendent of
the dead letter office, post office de-
partment, has issued an order direct
ing the strict enforcement of section
500 of the postal laws and regulations.
This section makes it imperative OH
postmasters to advertise in news
papera manuscript list of non-de-
livered letters. 1t also requires the
charge and collection of one cent in
all cases where letter has been pub
lished in newspaper either gratu-
itously or at one cent for each letter
or less sum, or whether the pnblica-
ton was merely by written list
posted in some public place." In all
eases the postmaster must affix and
cancel one cent postage due stamp
as evidence of it's delivery. In post
offices other than those of the delivery
the postage due stamps should not be
affixed until the delivery of the letter.
This clause of the postal laws has not
heretofore been strictly enforced, 1t
is estimated that the postal revenues
will be increased largely by the new
| work.
