Cotton is going up up way
upl
Higher than a Giraffe's ears.
You don't believe it? that's
natural.
Don't we always say we don't
believe the thing that we are
most afraid of
(Which accounts for Universaiism)
Cotton and everything that
is made of cotton, is rising.
That's one end of the filter
board.
Flocks of customers at our
counters last week called for
Cotton Sheeting, good quality
at moderate price.
We couldn't give it to them
then, nobody could.
How could they, when cotton seemed trans
formed into Yeast Rising, rising rising
always)
But ah, there's another end
to the tilter-board and that's
DOWN. It's this,
Our buyer went to Lowell
last Thursday and blundered
on to a vast mass of manufac-
turers remnants and short
lengths of Bleached Cotton,
Unbleached Cotton, Cotton
Flannel, Shaker Flannel.
We have turned the whole
central aisle of our store into
a Remnant Hurrahl
January is naturally a dull
month.
We propose to galvanize this
present January into nimble
friskiness, transform it into a
high stepping Calico colt, as
you may say by this six thous-
and yard Remnant sale.
We offer you this week, cot
ton remnants so cheap that you
can afford to butter your bread
with them.
Listenl Here's one case OF
one thousand three hundred
and sixty-nine yards of yard
wide Bleached Cotton Rem
nants, soft, stout and substan-
tial, at 6 CTS. A YARD.
Listen again, here's count
less yards of unbleached cotton

remnants and short lengths, 9

get in place Of your cloth. Try for II here and
you'll get all you can use.)
Listen thrice, Nearly five
hundred yards of stout-double-
width sheeting remnants, "a
inches wide. (94 inches means
nearly ga yds. wide.) So
wide that, like an Oxford Coun-
ty stone wall, its actually higher
when you tip it over, than when
it stands right side up. So
this cotton, whichever way you
turn it, it's wider than it is
long, and, like stone wall too

is 80 cts. a yd.)
Once more listen, Six hun

stout, warm and good, 5 CTs.

Come now my friends, here's
your cotton opportunity, 'tisn't
a hazy, nebulous, visionary,
Limited" bargain, it's an occa-
sion as plain to be seen as a

If you can't come, we'll send
you samples, THAT is, while
they last,) but you must know
that six thousand yards Of cot
ton remnants isn't much more
than a lunch for this cotton
famished district.
Next week it'll be something
else, but this week it's manu-

though we do not claim Hoods Sarsaparilla to be
positive specific for rheumatism. the remarkable
cures it has effected show that it may be taken for
rheumatism with reasonable certainty OF benefit.
Its action in neuralizing the acdty of the blood,

secret of the success of Hoods Sarsapara in cur

Newspapers in 1888.

From the edition of Geo. p. Rowell
& Co.'S american Newspaper Direc-
tory published April ID tits TWEEN
tieth year), it appears that the News
papers and Periodicals Of all kinds is
sued in the United States and Canada,
now number 1870, showing a gain of
800 during the last II months and of
1926 in 10 years.
The publishers of the Directory as
sert that the impression that when the
proprietor of newspaper undertakes
to state what has been his exact cir
culation, he does not generally tell the
truth is an erroneous one, and they
conspicuously offer reward of 800
for every instance in their book for
this year. where it can be shown that
the detailed report received from a
publisher was untrue.

day, but the pulpit and pews had been
rem0deled to suit the needs, it may be,
OF not less earnest but a more practi-
cal Christian age. This church was
built of brick brought from England
and is preserved much as it was IN the
early times when men of high degree
in church and state walked its aisles
and worshiped in its pews.
At the theological Seminary of
Virginia, three miles away, there is
an old Bible and prayer book which
was used in Alexandria, but not in
Christ church, in Revolutionary
times The marks of most interest
connected with it are those drdwR
across the page containing the prayer
for the king and his household to be
used by the clergy. The colonists be-
lieved in fighting as they prayed, and
in praying as they fought.
But the spacious yard surrounding
Christ church contains much of his
toric interest also. Here "sleep the
brave who sank TO rest" with the
blessing of the South if not the North
upon them. ''SOme mute inglorious
Milton here may lie although there
trary. But many do rest here whose
surviving friends granted them the
due allowance of epitaPhy after death,
however they might have failed to
give the proper amount of tdty while
in the flesh. These inscriptions serve
various purposes. Often the short
and simple record is followed by words
of comfort to friends or of admonitiOn
10 the impenitent. In reading them
one is impressed with the fact that the
world do move" although mankind
remains much the same. In proof of
this apply words here from the first
quarter of the century to the advanced
state of medical science in the last
quarter. THE inscriptions are re.
produced as nearly like the original as
possible):
In memory of Alex +. Latimer who
departed this life on the 22d day of
December, in the year of our Lord,
1905:
Who Affections Sore long time he bore.
Physicians was in vain,
Till God was pleased, death should him seize
And ease him of his pain
And the following has an under cur
rent of good intention although the
voice is from that bourne from which
no traveller returns:
In memory of Henry Boyer, who de-
parted this life Mar. Z, 1879. Aged 43
yrs, and days.
All you that Gums my grave to see,
Prepare yourselves 10 follow me-

You may be taken in your prime
But these inscriptions and impress
siOns are but minor part of the good
things brought back from the Old Do
minion. There was the most pleasant
experience of the far famed Southern
hospitality. There were ample and
abundant reasons to cause the young
men from the North to ''see visions"
not only of the present generation OF
fair women, but also of the generation
twenty-five years ago of those who
"fairest of their daughters" buckled
on the sword for brave men and sent
them forth to battle for cause not
then lost. There were words and ac-
tions which said: This country is one
and is to remain under one flag, but
