ACARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so well known far and near, that we feel that we may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An "adn to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do it. Besides. we heard man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked to us confl- dentiaIly, in an off hand way that writing lads" out of business hours Is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got it; and he looked away over into the next county when he said it but-well. we are not slow to take n hint, If 1t Is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- ful If VIC should really get 1t this softening disease, we mean, ] and have 1t get real deep- ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going 10 stop right of short, give up our advertising col nmns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go into the coffers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies." eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to busi- ness, 1. e. selling furniture at Hawleyville. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Dehs with the newspapers for awhile, Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing to harden. Be compassionate. be Just be considerate. be charitable, be liberal mind ed one with another and last of all be sre and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin it in your hat.

THE WELCOME

Delivered by the Rev John Calvin God
 dard at the I5Oth Anniversary of the
 Congregational Church of Salisbury,
 Conn.
 Friends, Neighbors, Christians: We offer you our hand with the heart in it
 We welcome you to Salisbury, whose hills are iron, whose lakes are silver, whose people are gold. Here IS the highest land in the state, so that, if the citizen of Connecticut would be near est to heaven, he must come to Salis- bury.
 We welcome you to this church. It is no cathedral, as it's English original but 1t has, we trust, a temple within. where He, who ..inhabiteth the praises of Israep' deigns 10 dwell. We offer you the freedom of the city, and throw open to you the doors of the church. People of various communions, as you are, yet for this once you are members of our congregation, and we pronounce you Congregationalists.
 We welcome you to our hospitality. and have endeavored to provide for the varying needs you represent, ss being all sorts and conditions of men. For the Episcopalisns we have apostolic food, namely that which is taken from the sea; for the Baptists we have water, hot and cold, and plenty of it; for the Presbyterians we have election cake ;and for the Methodists we have reserved the privilege of having the women take part in the meeting.
 We welcome you to this historic day We are hundred and fifty years old, two less than the age of the celebrated ''old Doctor Parr," but by no n cans counting ourselves two points under par, but considerable number above it. We have had a glorious ancestry, of whom we are duly proud, and whom we propose to give later the entire floor; but we would not have you cherish the notion thereby. that this church is like the potato vine, the best part of it un- der ground. On the contrary, we are still on the earth, wanting it, praying for 1t, trying, some of us, to ''replenish the earth and subdue it." fighting for 1t, smitipg the Devil on the one cheek, and turning to smite him on the other also, but abundantly loving our friends, among whom we count you all.
 We rejoice with you this day, Bretll- ren beloved, in having 50 much in com.

A CONTRACTOR IN TROUBLE.
Charged With False Swearing About a
Contract.

L. Z. Bowen, a well known contractor,
was arrested last night by Justice Naugh-
tin, charged with falsely swearing that all
debts incurred by him for material and
labor in the building of a house for which
he had the contract had been paid. and
thereby securing the remaining % per
cent. of the contract price.
Under an act passed by the legislature in
1891, a contractor is not allowed to collect
the entire amount due him on his con-
tract until all his bills for labor and ma
terial incurred by reason of that particu-
lar contract have been paid The other
party to the contract is required to re-
serve % per cent of the contract price,
otherwise the building is liable for debts
due for material and labor. BY making
an affidavit before a magistrate that all
bills for material and labor have been
paid, the contractor Is allowed to collect
the remaining % per cent of the contract
price.
Mr.. Bowen built a house for a party
named Muller some time ago. He pur-
chased $50 worth of lumber from w. +.
McCauley besides contracting other in
dsbtedness on account of the building
After completing the house he went be-
fore a magistrate and made an affidavit
to the effect that all bills contracted by
him for material and lumber on account
OF the house had been paid. BY means
Of this affidavit he secured the entire
amount Of the contract price from Mr.
Muller. When Mr. McCauley went to
collect his bill he found that this state
Of affairs existed and that as the con-
tractor was unable to pay him he stood a
very poor show of getting his money. He
went to Justice Naughtin and swore out
the warrant as stated.
Mr.. Bowen has been regarded as a sue
cessful contractor, a good workman and
an upright business man. His arrest is
a surprise to his friends. He could not be
seen last night and his story of the diff
ficulty could not be obtained.

POPLAR CANDIDATES.
Those Expecting the Patronage Of tn
PeopIe Now

The all-absorbing question which agi-
tates the minds of the male population of
Savannah just now. is who win be the
next mayor"
There's two candidates in the field, both
Of whom will put their popularity to The
test
Men will argue points OF popularity every
day until the election comes of and then
settle down with the elected candidate,
and prepare to start another future oppo-
sition and reform"
The ladies don't seem TO pay much at
tentiOn 10 politics. Their favor for pOpu-
larity runs in another direction. They
look after gaining popularity by preparing
tempting dishes for their families, and at
tending popular dinner parties which are
presented by popular hosts. If they were
to vote on popularity for a guide, they
would unanimously elect Logan as the
most popular caterer in the city, all on ac-
count of his popular dinner hxings.
He serves more banquets and dinner
parties with turkeys, game and tempting
delicacies than any man in the state, and
his popularity is pronounced in every
household.
