The Ianuay announcements,
intended only tor our guests
and customers, have brought
sellers-importers and manu-
factures-in large mum be r s.
The crowds Of eager buyers
told a convincing story that
here and how goods could be
moved at popular prices.
Our new trade notions have
been admitted and admired on
both sides. Big operations
have been made. Shelves and
counters have been filled and
re-hlled, and the public has
made money.
To-day the Stationery Store
offers eight bargains in Note
Paper and Envelopes, the Art
Pottery gets 100 new bargain
pieces, the Muslin Underwear
is filled up, and so all through
the house.
The great Carpet sale has
money for you at present
prices. The chance won't come
again.
Milford chronicle., 1891-01-16

A few words in reply to the
questions constantly asked
about Challis.
You are not asked to pay
more.
The allegation. to put il
mildly, is an error. The same
quality as those just opened,
was 6oc last year, and two
years before that-it is 6oc
now.
There are I2I varieties. It
is not hyperbole to say that it
is the choicest and richest lot
we have eyer shown. We've
said the same OF each success
i've exhibition for four years
and told exact truth every
time.
The French designers have
surpassed themselves this
year. Conventional geomet-
rical things are out and fresh
air fancies are in. Carnations
behind the bars, pinks impris-
oned in stripes. Her ewes
dey vos Himmel blue" YOU
say as you look at a new blue
ground, unlike anything else
yet seen. The cultivated bios
som of the gay parterre, and
the wild flowers of field and
wood are all levied upon for
the patterns while the inven-
ton Of the artists shows much !
originality in figures and col |
ors. Black grounds with white
hgures, white grounds with
black figures, gray grounds
with many figures, dahlia
grounds with purple figures.
Surely the most fastidious need
Tot despair.
Anderson's Ginghams for
Spring are here in full assort-
nent and the already rich va
riety Of India Silks is made
richer BY daily additions.

A father can give his young son no better
present than years reading Of the ScieHl :

young mind in the path of thought, aud if he
treads there a while, he'll forget frivolities

Young business men. They have been carry

the suspension is the inability Of farmers to

Good housekeeping.

Good Housekeeping has a much more
substantial value in the home than the SEN
sational publications which appeal for the
same support and rely on style Of pufery
that would put a patent medicine man to
blush; and it has the honest and substantial
flavor that belongs to the best things of New
Euglsnd. Merit in its contributors out
weighs the magic Of a name, and this good
old standard serves to give the best results.
That it should prefer the practical knowl-
edge of expert New England housekeepers
to the superficial observations ofprofessional
writer's who have not acquired information
at first sources, ought not to be wondered at
by intelligent people-but the other fashion
is so prevalent that it is we'll to lay empha-
sis on the care with which the editor Of Good
Housekeeping ful6lls his Office. It is also
fair to call attention to the taste in typogIa-
ply and the mechanical niceties which dis
tiuguish this magaziBe, as we'll as the otheI
publications of Clark W. Bryan & Gothic
Paper World, Progress Ppringfeld and the
Library Bulletin. This House is doing its
full share TO make the stamp Of this city a
guaranty of good quality.-SP'TMgfeid Re-

Ks and bays. Thus favored
:, with a mild equitable climate
lertile soil. It offers unusual op-
anihes for any mixed system Of hns-
4ndry. Few portions Of the country
have undergone so bitter an ordeal as
this section through the civil war. The
property interests Of these counties being
vested mostly in lands and slaves The
Emancipation Proclamation not only an
initiated the slave property, but greatly
deprecated the value Of the lands IN the
overthrow Of its labor system. This
country with its slave labor was principal
" and almost entirely uevoted to tobacco
culture as its most profitable crop. But
for some years, from various causes, the
culture of tobacco has not been remun-
erative. And thus, the wide-awake far
mer has given his attention to a more
mixed system of farming.
= The great future of the country is in
peaches and other fruits. It is the ma
tive home ofthe peach. Trees grow wild
in fence corners, and produce year after
year abundantly. Seeding trees have
been known to live and bear fruit for
forty years. No better fruit can be grown
anywhere. Many years ago New Jersey
/ was the great peach State, then Delaware,
and then the Eastern Shore Of Maryland.
New Jersey has long since ceased to grow
/ peaches. The peach belt in Delaware is
moving south, and it is predicted that in
a very few years no peaches will go to
market from Kent or New Castle coun-
ties. The yellows is playing havoc with
the orchards Of the Eastern Shore. The
last lin. rssaA-e-ii Of peaches on the
-n,,-ses failure, whilst the

iHlirns ohndonment Of the cultivation
D. v sobacco in Southern Maryland, to a
more diversified culture of the soil in the
raising of the peach and other fruits,
with canning industries, or any mixed
system of culture, will create a great
change in the face of the country. The
subdivision Of the large farmsinto smaller
tracts, will bring settlers, enterprise and
thrift, to the making of money and pros
perity. Phoenix like, this country will
raise itself out of its own ashes, to become
a garden spot of small farms, highly culti'
vated, as surrounded by noble rivers
creeks and bays, afFording an abundance
of oysters FISH and game.
