The +. p. Robinson Co.'S
CLEANFAST" black Hose
for ladies and children have
been the standard of excellence
in the city of Boston during
the past year.
1t was found that they actu-
ally did what they claimed to
do, and that was that they
would not soil the undergar-
ments, would not grow rusty
by use and would not soil the
feet.
OF course all these things
have been claimed by other
manufacturers, but when it
came to the test of use they
all failed to bear out the claim
with regard to soILING FEET
with these two exceptions-the
f. p. Robinson Co. "CLEAN-
FAST and the " ONYX
STAINLESS DYE"
Both of these we now con-
troll for the city of Worcester.
We claim for these Hose that
every lady can wear them with
perfect certainty that she will
be free from every form of dis
agreeableness by their use.
We claim also for the F. P.
Robinson's "Cleanfast" Hose
that it is a better-wearing stock
ing than any other stocking of
its kind in America.
The Onyx Stainless Dye"
is also a thoroughly reliable
and every way desirable hose.
We claim for the ONYX
everything that we claim for
the CLEANFAST.
We warrant for both of them
that they will not grow rusty by
washing, that they will not stain
the undergarments and that
they 7VaW not stain the feet
We invite the ladies to visit
the Hosiery Department and
examine for themselves the
F. p. Robinson Co.'S Cleanfast
Hose and the Onyx Stainless
Hose.
You will see the only perfect
black fast-dye hose-the only
hose made that can be war
ranted not to soil tie feet.
We have a special bargain
for ladies who like to purchase
ahead of their wants.
Notmany Isle Thread stock
ings bought now. They will
go with a rush a little later.
We have one special line of
GENUINE FOUR-THREAD
Isle HOES that will sell at
a very great bargain for one
week more. They cost us 50
cts a pair to import them. We
have sold them uniformly at 65
cts a pair. For the balance of
this month you can own them
at the low price of 81 1-2 cts.
When you can save IS cts
pair on a genuine Four Thread
Isle Hose, you can well afford
to purchase what you will need
for spring and summer wear as
early as the middle of January.
We have them in Modes,
Tans, Bronze, Black, Navy
Blue, Brown and Wines-all
with white split feet.
A splendid bargain-that is
to say, you get more value for
your money imam your money
is worth.

A Colored john Sullivan.

An unraly negro named Tom Petrell, or
some such name, from Msyesville or Will
sons mill, created considerable stir in
town last Monday. He had enough liquor
in him to make him think he owned the
town, and when an attempt was made to ar
rest him he resisted so that four men could
not manage him. he was tied hog fashion,
and carried to the guard house. His ours
ines there were so loud and vile that he
was bucked and gagged. This quieted him,
and he begged good fashion. During his
arrest he attempted to use pistol, but was
disarned. He also had an extra supply OF
cartridges in his pocket. While being car
ned to the guard house he claimed to be a
Democrat, and that the other negroes want
ed to kill him for it; and he said ne had no
friends in town. A bystander told him,
even if he was Democrat he could not
raise in this town. Council gave him
$40 or days. he wisely took the 7; and
will then be held for carrying concealed
weapons, for which he will probably spend
six months in the States Hotel.

CHRONIC DISEASES.

From the earliest historic times there
has been more or less discussion as to
what constitutes a chronic disease, as
distinct from an acute malady. The
plainest presentation of this subject
that we have met with is contained in
"Plain Home Talk" commencing on
page 1888. DIR. T.. b. Foote, the au-
thor Of the book, has been engaged for
thirty years in studying, treating and
writing about chronic diseases, and he
has well earned the reputation of being
the most expert specialist in practice as
well as being regarded high author
ity in theory The doctor still invites
and receives consultations from the sick
in all parts of the civilized world, either
in person or by letter, at his Office IN

pledged and committed to tariff reduc-
ton. The following are the National
and State Republican tariff pledges.
The last National platform says:
1.-The Republican party pledges itself
to correct the inequalities Of the tariff
and to reduce the surplus"
The Minnesota platform says:
1--WE favor. an early and judicious
revision Of the tariff, with simplifca-
ton and reduction of customs duties. :"
The Iowa platform says:
1--WE believe the tariff should be re-
vised and reduced
And the Nebraska platform says:
GAS the business of the country now
demands revision of the tariff. the
Republican party, alive to the demands
Of every material interest, will see to
it that such revision shall be made at
the earliest practical day"
All this, Mr.. Speaker, means some
thing more than free whisky and free
tobacco.
Surely these promises ought to be
kept.
Now what have our Republican
friends to say as to Republican harmony
on the high tariff question?

ONE YEAR.

WITH this issue Of the ARGUS we
enter upon the second year of our
journalistic labor, with bright pros
poets of success. When we took con =
troll of the ARGUS one year ago, many
believed and asserted that il was only
to add failure in the newspaper enter
prise before year; and we admit that
the und ertaking-viewing it from the
standpoint of the recent past record of
the papor-looked as though it was an
uncertain one. But having confidence
Ia the people Of the countY-believin
they would support and assist us if we
but performed our duty faithfully and
well-we had no hesitancy in taking
the paper. Our confidence was not
misplaced; instead of making "fail-
ure" we have made the Office pay its
own expenses and yield us sufficient
support to keep ourself and family.
True, we did not realize enough to start
anational bank but we did get enough
to encourage us to enter upon another
year determined to make the paper bet
ter than it has been in the past, and by
so doing, secure more friends and pat
rons than we have now-but none more
true.
We truly thank our friends for their
support and encouragement, and prom
Use them that we will devote our time
to their interests, and hold aloft the
principles of true Democracy, defend
ing them to the best of our ability.
"Sink or swim, live or die, survive or
perish" we are for the success and
recognition of the Democracy of Pres
ton county
Again we thank you, friends.
