Reid & Hughes ATime Of Money Saving
 COMMENCING
 Jan. 1st, 1894.

A strange statement you say for such times as these. Here is the explanation After the holiday rush there comes a time of partial stagnation, but instead of settling down into a comatose condition.we are go ing to put on more steam, and forge ahead. The mild Fall and Winter combined with the peculiar times have left us with more goods of some kinds than we want and commencing
 MONDAY, JANUARY 1sT, 1894, We are going to have week of money say ing prices-that is-you save the money and We lose it. We believe in losing money,judiciously The farmer does when he plants the seed, but ultimately reaps the harvest. The bargain prices apply to every department but in this space we can only mention what are doing with CLOAKS. Here 1t is: We have put all our Ladies', Misses, Children's and In fants' Winter Garments in four lots as fol- lows:
 S3.29 formerly $500 to $50.
 $50, '' 7.75 to 1000.
 ITS, q S10 to 1900.
 10.75, 15 to 20.00.
 We defy competition on these, and if beaten on prices will take back seat.
 Es~ Remember, reduction on all kinds

We take stock the latter part of this month and we don't propose to carry over any winter goods, consequently we have made prices that will be sure to sell them. We are aware that to keep up our busi- ness for the coming month we must get out bargains that were never attempted be- fore. Your dollar has bought what two usually buy at some of our other sales, but here we will make it do still better.

Jones, Morgan & g.

Sull in the lead and are bound to remain ahead ill the race in offer ings never before heard of. Our holiday trade was much larger than we expected, and our stock shows it in every department. Still we have some rare and choice bar gains in Mems and Young Mems Suits, Overcoats and Listers, that will probably never be sold as cheap again. Owing to the hard times which everybody feels, and larger stock of Clothing at this sea- son compels us to sacrifice all pro- fits, besides a loss on the cost of goods.
 We have a few more of those $10, S12.5O, S13.50 Overcoats left at S8. 50. Don't fail to secure one before they are gone.

beef which the company has been try

engine with which to haul the train,
saying they would not attempt to move
any packing house cars until they are
able to run the mail trains.
All of the big packing houses are

Yiddish will defy the definition of

any one of these could state III few
words what constitutes the dialect,
which is nevertheless perfectly clear

cause of it's mixed nature, and because
it is different thing according to the

The Yiddish of Poland and Germany is
verv different from that of the east

based in very large measure on the
former.
