OF getting rio Of the remaining Com

that it was decided to offer transporta-
ton to all those whose homes ale in
the West, provided they left the city
last night. 1t was stated that there
we're l65 men in camp at the observa-
tory grounds, half of whom belonged

pers Ferry several days ago. Gen"

At Pretzfelder & Co.'s, $50 King St.

Another word to the good people Of Alex
andria. To those who were wise enough to give
us call and to inspect the offerings VIC have
been making for the last few weeks, it is need
less for US to say anything in the way of cx-
planstion Of what we are doing. Our bar
gains are more convincing than columns of
argument and our prices more eloquent than
mere words. But to those who are shy and
back ward, and who are suspicious OF sales"
gotten up now and then by merchants to boom
business, we desire to say "a few words to-day.
In tho first place we want you to under
stand that this is no fake" selling out. II
isn't done for pleasure, and it isn't done for
profit. Stern necessity caused the institution
of this sale Stern necessity fixed the prices.
Stern necessity again demands a cut in prices
regardless of the value cost and desirability
of the Goods Wares and Merchandise We have
still on hand
The law says that this estate must be speed
lily wound up, and wind up is the word even
if we have to practically give the goods away.
Now, if we have convinced you that this is
a bona fide clearing out, and have gained
enough of your confidence to have you be-
lieve that our object il to get rid Of the goods
we have at any prices, we will, for the pur-
pose Of convincing those who have not visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE tina.
We offor the bargains of lifetime, quote
some prices we have made on popular and de-
sirabe goods. Figures, We know, don't lie, so
we will let them speak for themselves Look
over our list carefully, and if you see anything
you want, cut out the advertisement, and put
you finger on the article and come to US, and
you will get the stuff exactly as advertised.
To our numerous friends who have been in to
see US SO often lately, we desire to say only
that this picnic can't last much longer. Make
hay while the sun shines. Our loss is your
gain. A word to the wise is sufficient.

After perdsing the prices given above, can
any one candid]y say that we are not ready to
make good any promise we have made? Why,
we could sell to shop keepers at these prices;
but we prefer to give the people the benefit
of thir opportunity. Our unprecedented sue
cess heretofore in this sale makes US anticipate
a very lively week after this great cut and
we therefore advise those who intend to take
ad vantage of it, to call early, SO we can give
them the benefit of better choice and better
attention. The wide-s- wake man and woman
are the persons who get along best now; and
they are asleep to their own interests who
will permit this chance to go by without seiz.
ing the opportunity to profit thereby.
