'sThe unclean spiritn left this office
ten days ago; in other words, our devil
quit work; since which time our re-
manning force has been compelled to

In triumph did young man go
And give to his fair maid
calf tail, to make her some soup,
(The motive in his nid.')
But, alas. for the delicious soup
The maiden sighed in vain,
The cat had snied the treasure rare,
II nee was seen again.

We have quite an extensive CORE
spondence this week. This Is as il
should be-, no one, we trust, cares to
| live on the ragged edge of civilization;
! if you 60, keep still and never, under

and you will have no reason to COM
plain of cayotes and cougars for neigh
bors, neither will mankind modest you

| Montague must be preparing for a
boom, Judging by the way he is stock
ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
Cash Stores. BY purchasing his goods
in such large quantities he naturally
| gets much lower prices. He guaran-
/ tees good goods in all the departments
/ of his extensive establishments at
/ prices that absolutely astOnish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
/ going so far as 10 sayethat Montague
/ retails his goods as low as they buy
! them at wholesale. The careful buyer
| invariably goes to Montague's.
The One-Price Cash Store has be-
come one of the features of Lebanon.
As everything is new and fresh, and the
prices are so much below that charged
in credit-giving establishments, peo-
pie who desire to buy their goods
/ for cash naturally go to the corner,
where they do not have to make up 10
| the storekeeper for the non-paying Gus
! toners who, when they can do so, buy
on credit, and who are constitutionally
opposed to paying for anything. Get
prices at the One-Price Cash Store and
/ if there is any reason in you that is the
place where you will purchase your
supplies.
