CheSnutt'S Rum Flood! /!

The flood of water on June came
by the permisfive hand of the Crea..
tor, but the rum flood of June 1S was
cause (says Chairman Palmer) by the
combined villany of the political ma.
chimes of the democratic aud republi-
can parties and their rumsbought
press in the cities. Providence per-
mitted one flood the devil, saloon
men and politicians demanded the
other. The LIST. of June flood made
homeless thousands of people, but
the flood of June 1S shall flow on a
little longer, destroying yearly $4,000
souls and 800, 600, 900, until the 300, 900
prohibitionists OF Pennsylvania heed
the bulge call to march in the vic,
torious prohibition party army
marching in manly independence,
away from the sloven OF rumsruled
politicians and parties. Then, and
then only, shall the defiant rum pow
er cease to be master and become the
obedient servant of law, order and
sobriety. Prohibition defeated (,
Not the principle, for its supporters
Know no defeat but the method or
plan of getting IL alone suffers defeat.
From the result of floods and rainy
weather the dry goods business has
suffered, and June, the best month of
the year. has been changed TO the
worst | knowno despair. and now
mean to make the dull season of July
and August roll up big sales, il pos
sible even more than any month
before. No time now for rest and va
cation. Accept what ! spent in the
flood and mnd. How will do IL ?
Listen, I'll tell you. BY beginning
this week to sell from my entire stock,
from every department, dry goods,
carpets, oil cloths, notions, trunks,
etc, at such unheard of low prices
that will draw the housewife from her
washing and baking. the laborer from
his forge, the farmer from his harvest
and the maid from her parlor to buy
these goods, that will positively be
only sold at these prices IN July and
August. SO don't come on the LIST day
of September expecting them, or YOU
will be disappointed. Although this
be true. remember, on the LIST day of
September shall continue to serve
you at prices still below all others.
