Happenings of Interest in that Pros
perous Little Town

Happenings of Interest in that Pros
perons Little Town.
Much favorable and welldeseryed com
our new Board of Commissioners for their
public spirited endeavors looking to the
safety and comfort of the citizens of this
town. Noticeably among the several re-
cent improvements consummated by these
gentlemen is that which involves the light
ing OF our village by oil lamps sufficiently
to render ones safety secure in ventnring
out after dark, which heretofore has been
extremely precarious. The system of main
tenance of these lamps Ia an exceptionally
economical one, and occasions the just as
sertion that the Inhabitants of the town
should see that the placeis amply lighted.
The Commissioners have set forth The feas-
ibility of this important project, and the
citizens should show their appreciation by
hastily putting the same In operation.
Several dilapidated, and consequently dan
gerous, footwalks have also been recently
repaired.
Several inhabitants OF this village are in
disposed, caused, doubtless, by the prevail
ing Influenza. Mr. Marion Duckett, dis
tinguished counsellor of this vicinity, is
understood to be very III, some doubts of
his ultimate recovery being entertained.
Mr.. George Drury is likewise quite sick,
but not dangerously so. The, epidemic has
had lite sway in this village, certainly, hav-
ing at times whole families in its embrace.
Mrs. Paul Tricou leaves to-day for an ex-
tended trip to the South. The larger por-
tion OF her time has been set apart for a
visit to her relatives at New Orleans. She
will return in about six weeks.
Particular interest is being manifested by
the lady members of the Catholic Church at
this point in an entertainment to be held at
Calvert's Hall, College Station, on the 18th
instant.
1t is a matter of comfort TO the citizens
to know that DIR. Charles A. Wells is i'm
proving rapidly in health and expects to be
able to resume his practice in few days.
a Golden Opportunity for the Ladies'
Kings Palace, Sl4 Seventh street n. W.,
will inaugurate the great clearing sale on
account of rebuilding.
Owing to the great increase of our already
extensive business and the desire of adding
new lines, such as dry goods notions,
ladies' and gentlemen's furnishing goods,
we have been compelled for want OF more
| space to lease the adjoining building now
occupied by the Fair, which we anticipate
| occupying by January, or at the latest
February. To combine the two stores into
one requires extensive improvements, and
to make room for the builder we are coLa-
| pelled to close out our entire stock con
sisting Of one OF the most stylish and fash
ionable lines of millinery, ladies', misses
and children's cloaks, corsets, kid gloves,
furs, ribbons, yelvets, jerseys, and other
articles too numerous to mention.
What is ones loss is another's gain. We
are willing TO benefit our thousands of pa
irons at the very height OF the season by
disposing of our entire stock at sacrifice
! While they are In need OF goods, such a
| chance has never been offered before, and
while we are willing TO make the sacrifice
we anticipate all in need of desirable goods
TO embrace this opportunity. Now, bear In
/ mind, every dollars worth OF goods mus
| be sold before building,
