A LIVE AND EyTERPRIsING HOUSE.

We have been acquainted with tho old

While the utmost economy of space seems
to have been studied, and everything COM
pactly arranged, tho large building fairly
groans under its treasures of commodities
adapted to the wants OF our people. Dry
goods in oil lines, mons and boys clothing,
cloths and casimeres boots and shoes, hats,

You are respectfully invited to test their
resources by calling in person and
making inquiry for anything in their limo.
You will find "all tho Johnsons" who repre-
sent tho house, affable, accommodating and
level-headed. They don't raised any relig-
ious, political or personal issues MS tests of
their good will, but they wish to sell their
goods to everybody, and will deal fairly
aud squarely with all. Their clerks are of
the like style and spirit, obliging and cou--
teous. II il therefore no wonder that this
popular house is throngei with purchasers
day after day. OF course the proprietors
are looking principally after their own iu-

tors to the people of the community by sup
plying them with what they want in their

Ruined by his Father.

William Z. Dodge. the New York mer-
chant and philanthropist. not long ago, gave
the following illustration of fathers wilfui
obtuseness or thoughtlessness:
A prominent New York merchant, origin
ally an Englishman, never sat down to table
witnout his wine and brandy, and his three
sons, in consequence, all grew up drunkards.
One became SO abandoned that his father
cast him out of the house. At last some
temrerauce people brought about his re-
formation. and he went TO see his father on
New Years day. The old gentleman said-
MY son, I'm delighted to see you again.
I'm glad you've reformed"
Thoughtlessly he said. Lets drink TO
your better life one glass Of sherry"
The Young man hesitAfed a moment. and
then thought he would Just drink one glass.
The old appetite revived, and that night bis
father found him dead drunk in his stable.
