ny will commence at a. m today, and will
continue through the week. The railroad
fares to and from stations within 81 miles

purchasers This special sale, whose adyer-
tisement takes up whole page of the

in this city. Many people cannot imagine
how the thing can be done. The company
say:

times are 70 harder now than ever, in fact a
little on the good side rather than the bad.
There's plenty OF folks who have plenty of
money and quite willing to spend it. too,
providing they can make two dollars go as
far as four generally goes. A comparatively
speaking, snowless winter. an unhealthy
period wherein everyone more or less has
suffered from colds and the new found
grippe, has made depression of spirits and
feeling among the community that we
would have to wait till spring before the sit
uation was altered. So wrote the papers, so
felt the people, but we said, let's make
hurrah," bring our country friends TO town
and show them that Maine Is not asleep.
How to do 1t, required a little consideration,
Alter due thought to the subject we decided
10 cut our prices on everything in halves,

lore we have spent few hundred dollars of
clean cash, reduced the prices on everything

Such concourse OF customers as we have
never yet seen in our store.
The Atkinson line of goods is famous all

Cold Waves

Are pre- dic.ed with reliable accuracy, and people
liable TO the pains and aches of rheumatism dread
every change to damp or stormy weather. Al
though we do not claim Hoods Sarsaparilla to be
positive specific for rheumatism, the remarkable
cures it has effected show that 1t may be taken
for rheumatism with reasonable certainty of bene-
fit. Its action in neutralzlng the acidity of the
blood, which is the cause of rheumatism consti
tutes the secret of the success of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla In curing this complaint. If you suffer
from rheumatism give Hoods -arsaparilln a fair
trial we believe IL will do you good.
II suffered long time with rheumatism IN my
left arm and shoulder, my blood being In a very
low condition. was avised to use Hoods Sar-
