He has applied to the probate court for per mission to sell her real estate and the auction will take place, Saturday. She has only the house in which she lives and that is worth, probably, not more than $500. George Fairchild of South Britain holds mortgage for s600, and she owes other small bills, aggregating, possibly, $50. The mortgage to Mir Fairchild was made at different times, $500 each, to cover money advanced by him in small sums. Mrs Brush, who is nearly 80, has already been thrown on the town, but cannot be declared d pauper as long as she owns property. After the sale and payment of debts, the balance will be used to pay her board where she is; then she will probably be removed to the town farm!

Have sold, this season, an immense number off Summer Shoes of all kinds. Now they intend to close out the broken lots and odds and ends at prices which will force the sale. Consequently they have reduced everything in this line to prices away below cost. Their reason for doing this is simply that they prefer selling out clean even though they do not realize full cost on the last lots, to carrying over goods, which might be out of style next Summer and consequently un. salable. This is an opportunity for early buyers, which you should not miss.
