to hurry up matters with shop
pers these days.
Every one seems to have the
purpose to get through with
well-dehned problem
Which is,
How to get together all that
now is wanted for the summer
wardrobe.
1t is astonishing how fast
the pretty, light dress goods
are taken from our shelves.
There must be an enormous
amount of dressmaking going
on even now.
Well, it is still our duty to
tell you what we have for you.
1t is pleasure as we'll as a
duty, because we have so many
charming things to write about.
To-day we tell you, first of
all, that our stock of delicate
Linen Lawns,

and SO cts yard, according to
the pattern.
That means, of course, that
we sell you some patterns of
our French Chailles for IS cts,
while others we still sell for
50 cts.
These are the days when
there are constant inquiries for
Cream Albatross, Serge and
Cashmeres.

There is a great difference
in Albatross, Serge and Cash

very little difference in quality
affects the price.
What we now claim is that
what we sell you for 50 cts is
a finer, clearer and in all ways
better quality than the same
money will buy for you else
where.
Mohairs are also sought for
quite freely. You know that
Mohairs are liked because of
their brilliancy and their free
dom from dust.
Mohairs and dust are not
good friends. We have them
as low as 80 cts, and for 50 cts

In the death of J. A. Hancock,
which occurred on the 18th irst., the
people of Island Pond generally, and
the younger portion of the communi-
ty especially, have met with a great
loss. Having lived at a distance from
Island Pond village, he was known to
but few of our citizens comparatively,
until within two years, since which
time he has manfully endeavorel,
though beset with obstacles which
would have deferred one less perSever-
ing, to secure an lucation, aud what
sover his hand found to do was
made use of to a3c )mpliSh this end e,
Though poor he was not undaunted,
and, conscious of the fact that the
goal of his ambition was not to be
Surmounted without hard work and
strenuous effort he nerved himself for
the undertaking with Il foith which
was heroic, and which would not be
denied.
1t was the privilege of the writer to
become acquainted with Mr.. Hancock
little less than two years ago, and
the acquaintance then begun rlpeued
into intimacy which, while beneficial

faith manifested, which was truly up.
