temptation to renew the sport of childhood
days and gather up enough of the trans
parent crystals to make a ball or scne
snow-cream. But since brother is one of
the largest milk shippers from this section

OUR SPECIAL SHOE SALE.

Our sale ofhigh grade boots and
shoes by the single pair at whole
sale prices, at our new store under
the Opera House, is a pronounced
success. As we have stated before,
we inaugurated this mark down to
make room" sale to get more room.
We have partly accomplished our
purpose, but we want more room
yet and must have it. Goods are
stacked in out-of-the-way places, in
dark corners and on the floor, plead
ing for shelf room and more light.
The people have availed themselves
ofour low prices and relieved US of
hundreds of pairs of boots and
shoes, but we are obliged to keep
up sizes and at this rate we gain
room slowly. The sale goes on and
will go on until we can get more
room, which we can only do by
selling off the goods, which we pro-
pose to do if low prices will move
them, and then if is our aim and
purpose to carry on our shoe bust
ness in one of our stores on the
Main street. The prices remain as
before-we cannot sell lower.
