WILL1MANTIC, Feb BINARY NJ.
Brown, a IA year old girl of this place,
who ran away from home Monday be-
cause htr father punished her, is in the

probably be sent to the industrial school
at MiddIetown when she comes home,

KELLY SAYS

That when he told the voters of Water
bury last fall to look at their table and
vote for their own interest, he was turned
down, because some other prophet came
to town and told them if they voted the
democratic ticket they would buy every
thing 8, much cheaper than they did
under the reign of Mckinley. If you
have, you voted right; if you have hot,
you voted wrong. Your wife can tell you
all about it.
Another straight tip. When you can
buy FLOUR FOR SIS. 80 A BARREL, it is
the best investment you can make, be-
cause when an article gets on the bottom
it is great deal easier to raise it up half
a dollar than to force it down five cents,
and when you buy 100 POUNDS OF
GRADUATED SUGAR FOR $500, in
my opinion you will not buy it any
G.. eaper in the year OF 1898.
Next Wednesday will be Ash Wednes
day and EGGS very high, and unless my
predictions go back on me and history
fails to repeat itself, will sell strictly

bold enough to go forth in all weathers
know by experience that in all but the
most open countries there are generally
to be found some cosey corners to which
the rain does not penetrate, or which,

4 NJ Osltsll Material.

For tho best dresses that women OF
moderate means keep for special occa-
sions there are various inexpensive
satin fabrics that wear and look much
better than silks of similar low price.
For the present season the satin surahs
are not heavy enough. and real satin"
is too costly, hence the careful shopper
buys the satin duchess or merveilleux,
because its surface is closely woven in
stead of showing q broad serge-likc
twill that cheapens the effect At once.
These come in olive and moss green,
copper red, maroon and golden brown
shades, as well as in black, at prices
ranging from eighty cents TO one dol.
