"BE well off with the old before you
are ou with the new" may be good
maxim for lovers to follow, but to
Mrs. Reedy it is particularly applica-
ble-for at the close of every year she
searches through her large stock for
every piece or article that is inclined
to sell slow, and down it goes to cost
OF course in staple articles there is no
necessity for this; but in fancy arti-
cles for ladies' personal or boudoir or
namentation, these bargains are to be
found at this season. Then again odd
patterns of hamburgs, and the many
other things in the white goods line
that have not struck the public fancy
at full prices, are put under the shaw
ing process. This is continued until
the middle of February, yhen the
annual account of stock is taken, and
when the entire store is rearranged for
the spring trade.

One Fact

Is worth a column ofrhetoric, said an Ameri-

the testimony Of thousands Of people, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla does cure scrofula, salt
rheum, and other diseases or affections aris-

blood. It also overcomes that tired feeling,
creates a good appetite, and gives strength

For many years this town has not
Witnessed the deep feeling in spiritual
matters, or such large audiences as
now attend the various churches.
Last week the extra services in the
Avenue Church drew crowds every
evening. and even before the doors
were opened, one hundred and fifty,
or more, stood waiting. On Sunday
morning the minister, Rev. J. H. Will
ley, preached to the business men
from lst Kings. Xxx chapter and XII
verse, and divided his sermon into
three parts, viz: lst. Business without
Religion. 2nd. Business against Re
ligion. 3rd. Business associated with
Religion. He drew word pictures of
many of the popular fallacies, and
drew comparisons by citing an incl
dent of Chicago and Pittsburgh. He
said that of the one hundred strongest
financial firms in Chicago, Y of them
were members of church and "A at
tenders of divine service, while were
scoffers or infidtls. Pittsburgh's so
strongest firms showed Al church
members and the balance attenders of
churches. This he claimed was suffi-
cient proof that the mixing of religious
principles with business was to the
of the latter. He asked the
merchants TO close their stores early
that all may have AN opportunity to
attend, and requested that children be
sent to these meetings To the choir
the audience ere indebted for sweet
in new music of the old
hymn, "Am Il Soldier of tie Cross?"
etc Miss Bessie Davis end Miss Lena
Sharp especially deserving praise
The clear notes reached by their per-
feet voices were subject for remark by |
those not accustomed to attend this |
church The closing hymn sung as
voluntary by the choir, was Jesus
Lover of My Soul" which appeared |
to be received into the very soul OF the |

the meeting, by earnest elOquence and
good practical argument. So far about

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. c. X. Murray, of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
fiicted with boils which caused him
much suffering These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He then began the use of
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, ScrOfula, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
plants, Consumption being only one of
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations of a scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disigured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need Of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
Ali sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, avoiding all powders, Ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect a cure. but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised 20 remedy.

A recollection Of curious incident
causes me to write the following:
In the month of June, Is4s, at an unfre-
quented place known as Plum Point, in the
southeast corner of Cedar Creek hundred,
near the Delaware Bay, some fishermen dis
covered two large cows laying with their
heads together. On approaching the ami
mails they found one of them had apparently
been dead several days, while the other just
survived, but expired in a few hours Their
horns were so completely locked that it was
necessary to break one loose from the head
before they could be separated. Had the
surviving COW been blessed with the gift of
speech, doubtless she would have said, 30,
wretched COW that am who will deliver
me from this body of death?" A farmer in
the Neck then remembered of hearing his
little colored boy say some two weeks pre-
vious that he saw two cows fighting on Plum
Point with their heads fastened together, to
which the farmer paid no attention at the
time. AN OLD CITIZEN.

which restores that fluid from a de-
