NOW LOOK PLRAsANT.

There's about the same difference
between the rightly-made Clothing Of
to-day and the usual store-clothes as
between the old and new modes Of
photography. The right sort is sold in
a very few places. You know it but
keep experimenting.
A good merchant is one who serves
his customers so well that they return
Season after Season. The customers
satisfaction first, profit afterward, is our
rule.
We invite you to look at Spring
Suits; $12 to $50 is the range for
men; SO to s23 for large boys; So to
SIT for small boys. Among the lower
grades are few fabrics plainly marked
"not strictly all wool" Do other
clothiers label their stock to its disad-/
vantagei In most stores everything
is "all wool = here it is whatever our
chemical test has developed. We
recommend the better grades, but
some people must spend less, and we
supply the best O small sum will buy
anywhere. We enjoy giving great
bargain, as frequently happens when
something gets marked down. In fact
our stores are never without some such
bargain in one department or another.

spectors, in consideration of his efforts to
carry North Carolina in November last,
has been bounced at the request of the

street the other day. Mr. Morgan in re-
ferring TO the new building of the Red
Cross as the former site of the Episcopal

to make it complete and give it the true

kindly offered to lend one. Miss Barton
heartily sgreed with him and accepted the
gift. Now the long hall is graced by a
piano from Mr.. Hamilton, of Pittsburgh,
to be used as long as wanted.
