FAR AHEAD!

We have taken stock and the result
is complete surprise to US. We knew
that we led all the way in last years
race for trade, but we did not expect
to finish SO far ahead of competition.
Our victory is SO complete that we are
greatly encouraged for future efcr,s.
But before we make any promises re-
garding what we will do in 1883, per
NIT us to tender
OUR BEST THANKS
for the support which has been &C
corded to us during the year that has
just passed away. Our constant en-
deavor has ever been to deserve that
support and the bcstowal of it has
always been duly appreciated, 1t has
taken energy, pluck and greenbacks
to continually place such all array of
satisfying bargains as have been seen
in our store before the public, still the
necessary qualifications have not been
lacking and the result has been
COMPLEIE SUCCESS.
None but goods of the highest quality
have been given a place in our store
We have carefully studied the prevail
ing styles and have bought only that
class of goods which we knew would
delight and satisfy our customers. Our
methods of doing business are too
we'll known to need more than 4 brief
reference. Honest principles and
upright dealings have their own reward
4 fact that is we'll illustrated by our
continuous success.
JOIN HANDS WITH Us
for another year, share the benefits of
the money saving bargains we will
place before you and the result will
| si.e mutual satisfaction.
We again thank those who have
favored us with their trade during the
past and in soliciting renewal Of their
confidence promise to faithfully en-
deayor TO deserve it.
Respectfully,

HER BONNET.

Mary II. wilkins In the Minneapolis Journal.
When meeting bells began TO toll
And plOus folk began to pass,
She deftly tied her bonnet on
The little, sober nectlng-laSs,
All In her neat white-curtained room, before
the tiny looking glass.
So nicely round her lady chceks
Sho gmOOthcd her bands OF glossy hair,
Aud innOcently wondered II
Her bonnet did not make her fair
Then sterny chid her foolish heart for hale
boring shch fancics there.
squaIcy she lied tho satin strings
Aud set the bow beneath hcr chin,
Then smiled 10 see how sweet she looked,
Then thought her vanity sin,
And she must put such thoughts away be
fore the sermon should begin.
But sitting for the preachers word,
Demlnely In her fathers pow,
She Thought about her bonnet sun
Yes, all the parsons sermon through,
About rs pretty bows aud buds, which
better than the text she know
Yet sitting there with peaceful face,
The reflex OF her simple soul.
She looked To be worry saint,
And maybe was one on tho whole,
only lhhl her pretty bonnet kept away tho
aureolo.

war-Time clothes in the south.

A Raleigh gentleman has collected and pre-
served an interesting souvenir of war times
down South, in the shape of a scrap-boolI
filled with samples Of homemade cloth Of
every description. The sight of these goods
forclbly carries one back to the days when the
old-timc spinuing-wheel and loom were to be
heard in every house. Every grade and color
of fabric is represented, from the coarsest cop
peras checked TO the finest 'silk k-mixed," ="
which was made by carding minute bits of old
silk of any kind with cotton, about half and
possible on a rough hand-loom. II now looks
strange that persons Of wealth, taste and eul
ture could ever have worn such clothing, but
there was no help for it. We did wear it and
were proud of our independence. Most Of
these specimens have family history of their
cousins and aunts and presented to the gen
tleman who placed them in the scrap-booli for
future generations to see.- Raleigh News

If there is any reason why the Demo-
cratic city of New York should not have
n Democratic postmaster, or why so inn
partant and honorable an office as the
New York postmastcrship should not he
held by some ono wholly in political
sympathy with the administration or
appointing power, we fail to see it,
The Presidents recognition of Mr.. Pear
son was allowable perhaps under the
peculiar circumstances of the last cam
paign; at least il was generally tolcr-
atcd by the Democracy with more or
less of a wry face but the party is be-
ginning to be inpatient at Mr. Pcarson's
continued retention and u strong pres
sure will be brought upon the President
TO make change. II may not be with
in the lines of strict obedience to the

The more the troubles in Cuba in
geographically, financially or in
whatever way-the less desirable is
the acquisition of the island by the
United States. We have enough TO

The Washington critic., 1888-08-13

It is much to be feared and equally
as much TO be deplored; but from all
that can be learned of the condition of
Mr. Robert Garrett. his best days are
numbered. He is gentleman of great
wealth; he had position in the busi-
ness world of commanding prominence
everything that is humanity enjoyable
was within his reach Yet in the very
prime of manhood he is stricken with
mental disease that threatens to destroy
his future usefulness. and both his own
and the happiness of q wide circle of
friends. We do not care TO moralize
over the causes that have led up to this
catastrophe, but there is moral to it
that every young man, whether possess
ing all the advantages that were at Mr..
Garrett's command or not, may ponder
with profit. The lesson to be drawn
from it il. that no one who is invested
with great responsibilities and sur
rounded with all the temptations that "a
large fortune brings in its train, can
safely depart from y conservative and
careful line of living. Moderation even
amidst the engrossments of business,
moderation in the indulgence of life's
pleasures, moderation in all things and
scrupulous avoidance of whatever may
overstrain either body or brain, consti-
tute an indispensable safeguard. with
out which there is imminent danger of
worse than " the vanity and veXation
of spirit" that overlook the illustrious
ruler of antiquity, who with all his wis.
tom was in some respects one of the
most unwise of men.
The Washington critic., 1888-08-13

The grossest violation of medical
ethics which has occurred in some
time, is the elopement of DIR. c. G.
Thompson of Baltimore, with the wife
of DR.. Basil NJ. Wilkinson of the
same city, thereby occasioning big
social shock and casting scandalous
reproach on the profession. There
will be no disagreement among the
doctors as to the turpitude of this in
decent escapade.
The Washington critic., 1888-08-13

The action OF the President in allow
ing the River and Harbor bill to be-
come q law without his signature was
probably the best thing he could do
under the circumstances. The bill con-
sists OF a large number of items some of
which might not meet the executive ap-
proval on a critical analysis but by far
the greater proportion of the sums ap.
propriated are for improvements, about
which there is no controversy and the
needfulness of which is universally con-
ceded So long, therefore, as il is not
in the power of the President to single
out items from the bill for disapproval,
he must either veto the whole bill to the
great detriment Of many valuable in
tercsts, or allow some appropriations of
comparative unimpOrtance or ineNpe-
dicncy, TO pass into law with the rest.
1t simply being question whether TO
sacrifice great objects in which the peo-
pie of nearly every section Of the eoun-
try are concerned or to tolerate u few Of
less Immediate or imperative necessity,
the President saw fit to waive his OBJ
jections to the latter for the benefit Of
the greater public good involved in the
former
