EVERYONE who feels interested in
mems, boys or children's clothing
should see the new spring stock at
Edward G. Walls. I
A THANKLEss and difficult task has
he who tries to chip and model this
big world to just the form and size of
his own small dimensions.
The seeds are restless in the soil,
of the wet time. Hope we
will not suffer for want of some Of this
moisture next summer.
THE meeting of the PRESBYTERIAN
Y. P. s., at Mrs. Woods tonight is
postponed till further notice on account
of the serious illness of one of its mem
bers.
A SCIENTIFIC lecture, illustrated by
pictures will be given un-
der the auspices of the Y. p. s., at the
Presby terian Church, on April Goth.
Look for small bills.
The robbins commence their matin
songs these bright mornings at five
o'clock, and do not close vespers until
after seven o'clock. The days are
lengthening very fast.
LISTER Chemical company, Jas. G.
Robinson, Agent, advertises the Lister
High grade Fertilizers. These phos-
pilates are pure bone, analysis guar
anteed. They contain nc acids.
We have had taste of spring this
week, and it makes US long for more.
The blue birds and the robins and the
trailing arbutus are extremely well
come, even if little tardy.
THE engine for the new hosiery fac
tory came down on the boat yesterday,
and the boiler and knitting machinery
in day or two, and Messrs. Bitter &
Luesher. with their families on Friday
WE are promised drop of a cent or
two pound in sugar. But coffee and
tea seem to be advancing. Let Us not
be too eXacting, however. If the water
would only recede to its normal mark
all would be forgiven, but not forgot
ten.
A young man from the forest" was
in town day or two ago trying to sell
a black snake that was little previous
in venturing out of its hole, thinking
that spring had come. We did not
learn whether he found o purchaser or
not.
ICE was found yesterday morning a
quarter of an inch thick. For the two
or three previous nights il had been
similarly cold, crusting the ground
each night, as it did again last night for
the fourth night. The best of all
we have had four consecutive days
without rain.
SOME fine shad found their way to
market on Saturday, two or three
pairs OF which weighed fifteen pounds.
The price of shad started at Is cts. per
pound, aud they sold on Saturday at
u cts, but will doubtless be down to
10 cents this week. When thew
drop to s and 10 Cts, their consump-
tiOn will be more general.
SUGAR now comes in duty free.
Whether manufacturers will give the
consumers all the advantage remains
to be seen. The duty gave Uncle Sam
many millions fOR governmental pur-
poses, which will have to be made ND
in some other way, or he will have to
run his concern on less capital. In the
meantime some dealers are quoting
sugar at cents.
The celebrated McGibney Family
will make their first appearance in
this town at the Opera House FRIDAY
evening neyt the 10th inst. They are
musicians and Comedians Of a higb
class, and the largest organization of
the kind now on the road. The troupe
numbers about seventeen people and
travels in it's own car, which is seventy
four feet long and one of the largest
ever built.
PEACHES have been at nearly a stand
still under the steadily low tempera.
ture Of the month past. ALI this is
well for them, for had the blossoms
been open, the freezing and FROSTY
weather of the past few days might
have blighted many of the Young
germs. A few warm days yOuld de.
velop the blossoms, but the trees are
not likely to be in full bloom before
the latter part of the month.
