Of spring to show
the finest line of goods that we
have ever carried. For weeks
past our buyers have been in
the markets placing orders for
such goods as are known to us
-ascertaining by practical test
what one of the nev things
will be most valuable to us and
our patrons and securing for
you and ourselves (for our inter!
ests are mutual) a line of goods
that we will have no fear to
place in honest competition
with any house south of New
York. Every department will
show evidence of faithful effort
on our part TO crafty every
taste in newest styles, freshess
patterns and mostreliable goods.
Almost every day we are re-
ceiving small invoice of the
immense stock that is to follow.
Some few lines of our large
Clothing purchase came this
week, among which was a few
Spring Overcoats, made spec
tally for us-several different
shades, satin-lined throughout
"a moael and a gem. But
some little time must elapse
before our general opening-in
fact we have much to do before
the arrival of our large spring
stock-we must have room to
place it, and the only way to
get it is to make the things
here give room to the things
that are coming. They are
moving, moving fast, moving
daily, for we have placed NOV
ing prices on them. We ara
compelled to either store them
away or sell them. for the de-
mand for room is imperative.
For the next few weeks you
can buy Clothing almost
at your own appraisement
in fact We believe if it was
your privilege to place the price
it would not be less than ours.
1t will pay you to buy a Carpet
now fyour need will not be for
year hence. To make room
for our Spring Furniture Goods
we are offering Suites at price
That Will scarce pay Tor their
make and material, while among
our Dress Goods nominal prices
control on the most standard
and reliable fabrics. We are NOT
piv,n, away Ladies and Chill
dren's Cloaks, but if we asked
much less than we do we would
have to advertise that 1--WE were
really giving them away" For
your spring goods wait a little
while, for bargains come at once
you will thus help Us to get
ready for our spring stock-and
we will help you to make a doll
lar purchase three and four
times its worth.

A Massachusetts, officer details with
evident enjoyment some foraging ex-
PLOTS of the northern army during Sher-
mans great march. One of these was of
u sort which even the btterest Confed-
crate might have enjoyed.
One day forager noticed an orna-
mental shrub growing in yard of red
clay, with marks of black loan ON it. II
struck him that it was not in its native
soil and he went for that bush.
1t easily came out of the ground, and
out of the hole under it, of which it was
the tell tale, came whole stock of pro-
visions and family clothing.
Another of our men, while crossing a
plowed field, was attracted by suspicious
signs, and ran his ramrod into the
ground. A foot down it struck some
thing solid
The kind hearted finder fastened to
make others rich as well as himself. He
ran down to the band with two tin cups
running over, one with syrup, the other
with peach butter, while the delicious
sweets dripped from his clothing and his
person, rs if in confirmation of his pleas.
ing tale.
"Plenty more right up there; forty-two
hogsheads full!'
Sometimes mistake was made. One
of band, passing a log house, levied on
it for a calabash of lard, and the usual
batch of doughnuts was fried that night
A peculiar flavor, supposed to be due
to an excess of soda, was noticed but
hard marched men, with sharkish appe-
tites did not stop for triiles Daylight
revealed the fact that the doughnuts had
been fried in soft soap. Youths Com

GEORGE w. HALVES
Board of Trade.

An adjourned meeting of the Board of
Trade was held at G. A. X. Hall, Monday
evening The committee appointed to
ascertain the situation in regard to sew
ers, t1e plans, assessments upon abutters
etc, reported their inability to md the
plans of the survey made some years ago,
that the selecimen did not know their
whereabouts and that they hesitated about
making assessments upon abutting own
ers until they had the plans.
TIL. committee was instructed to take
further measures to nnd the plans and
bring them, if possible, to the next meet
ing of the Board.
Mr.. f. p. Coffin from the committee
read portions of the law relating to sew
ers passed by the last Legislature, explain
ing different provisions. of the act.
Voted that the Secretary be instructed
to extend an invitation to the selectmen
to attend our next meeting.
The Secretary with DR.. S. A. Patten
and DIR. j. A. Merrill were made COM
mttee to look into the matter OF sewers,
sewer gases, the proper methods of trap
ping and ventiating sewers, and report
to subsequent meeting,
The Secretary called the attention of
the board to the condition of the High
School building He considered the
method of sewerage and ventilation very
bad
NAL discussion, voted to adjourn, TO meet
upon call of the Secretary.
The subject of sewers is receiving con-
sideration, and healthy feeling is mani
fest in favor of putting in the best posi-
BILE system. The meetings of the Board
of Trade are having a good effect.

The universalist fair opened auspici-
ously Tuesday evening = good weather
good attendance and a an excellent pro-
gramme-The young orchestra did them
selves proud, and deserve great deal of
credit for the work they have done.
The statuary was beyond criticism. 1t
seemed as nearly perfect in coloring and
posture as anything could be. The only
fault that could be found was that the
curtain was drawn all to quickly upon
each group. The gem of the evening
was the reading by Mrs. Lucia Mead
Priest. She csptivated the audience at
once. She is natural unassuming, aud
enters fully into the spirit of her Sc
lectious.
Wednesday evening fair sized audi
May Elise Fellows in her violin selections
was warmly greeted and each selection
was encorcd. Miss Fellows had not ap.
peared before a Skowhegan audience for
several years and her many friends are
highly eratifed at her success in her chos-
en- art. This, Thursday evening, tie en-
tertanment closes with dance which
will be well attended. The weather has
been favorable aud the fair a success.
The orchestra was in attendance both
evenings of the fair and was received
with great favor by the audiences. The
members were lsl Violin, Master Part

Hon, W. II. Bigelow, Superintendent of
the Mail Service for New England, was in
town Friday, and Mr. Stoddard, an in.
spector of the Post-oilice Department,
was here Thursday to look over matters
relating to moving the Post-otlce. These
officials admit that the Office here demands
better quarters, they are anxious to
secure the best possible, and give the peo-
pie supplied with mail here, the best that
can be obtained, and in the location that
shall best accommodate the greatest num-
Der. They were pleased with the situa-
ton of the store occupied by f. A. Will
liams, and II it can be had at a fair rental
we think the office will be located there.
This location would be satisfactory to a
greater number of patrons of the Office
than any other that is available.
Indeed It is doubtful if even Priests
Corner would be so good on some ac-
counts. The great number of foot pas
sengers who come across the two bridges,
can reach this place without crossing
Water Street. The same may be said of
those on the lower part of Water Street.
OF course it will not be quite as handy
for those coming from Elm and Maids n
Streets, but the Williams store is very
central and there can be very little if any
objection ON the score of location, at
least.

Daring Burglary

tools, with which they operated upon the
other stores. They secured two leather
bags in the boot and shoe store Of Nose
Townsend wherein IL is supposed they
carried off their piunder.
The stores entered were Sumner Row
ellis hardware Malon Patterson's general
erohandise; Moses Townsends boot
and shoes John II. Rowelrs jewelry.
BY far the biggest haul was made In
Mr.. Rowel's jewelry store where the bur
glars helped themselves to gold watches
and other valuable articles.
Nothing was known of the matter uu-
til Wednesday morning, the business be-
ing done so quietly that no one in The
village was disturbed.
