Another word to the good people of Alex
andria. To those who were wise enough to give
us call and to inspect the offerings we 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 arc 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 aud then by merchants to boom
business, we desire to say few words to-day
In the first place we want you to under
stand that this il no "fake" selling ont. 1t
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 cut i'll 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
ily 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 IL
a bona fde clearing out, and have gained
enough of your confidence to have you be-
lieve that our object is to get rid of the goods
we have at any prices, We will, for the pur-
nose of convincing those who have not visited
our MAMMOTH SLAUGHTER SALE tina.
we offer the bargains of a lifetime, quote
some prices we have made ON popular and de-
sirablo goods. Figures, we know, don't lie, so
VIC 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 gun shines. Our loss is your
gain. A word to the wise is sufficient.

USEFUL SUGGESTIONS.

II you would preserve the beauty a
plated silver, Keep it IN . warm, dry
room.
II the rollers Of . wringer are sticky
Or covered with lint, pass . cloth damp
sned with kerosene between them.
A sooTY chimney can Do cleaned by
firing . gun or pistol up the aue. The
concussion dislodges the SCOT and it
tumbles down.
MnDEw may be removed by rubbing
common yellow soap on it, then salt
and starch over that; rub all in well
and lay in the bright sunshine.
INSTEAD Of keeping ice in q dish,
where it will quickly melt, tie flannel
loosely on the dish so that it drops into
the bowl, and keep the ice in q flannel
bag.

Drunkards to Go to Their Families-A
Service Pension Bill.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-SenatOr PEI
fer has obtained favorable reports
from the senate committee on two
notable pension bills he is champion
ing. One is to secure to wives the
pensions of drunkards. 1t provides
that lin all cases, where pensioners
desert or abandon their families, or
where they are addicted to habitual
drunkenness, and do not use their PEN
sion money for the support of their
families, and do not support them, and
when they have no other sufficient
means of support, the commissioner OF
pensions, on the application of the
wife. she being woman of good char
acter. shall cause the money due such
pensioner to be paid to his said wife SO
long as such conditions continue"
The other bill is for service pension
based on length of service. Itprovides
that every person now living who
served in the military or naval service
of the United States during the war of
the rebellion and was honorably dis
charged, and who is not receiving a
pension by reason of such service, and
has no application for pension pend
ing, shall be entitled to monthly pen
sion equal to cent for every day of
such service; and those of them who
were captured by the enemy and made
prisoners of war shall receive an addi-
tional amount equal to cent for every
day of their imprisonment; and. in
computing the time. the imprisonment
shall be deemed to have begun on the
day of capture and to end on the day
of release. These pensions shall be
paid quarterly. as other pensions are
paid, and continue during the lifetime
of the pensioners, and to their widows
during their widowhood. All persons
who are receiving pensions or have ap-
piled for pensions. which applications
are pending when this act takes effect,
may surrender such pensions or with.
draw such application and avail them.

MATTERS FOR MATES.

LIBERTY of action is won by mutual
concessions
The marriage ring is circle which
husband and wife have the problem
set them Of making all square.
MARRIED people should study each
others weak points, as skaters look out
for weak parts on the ice in order to
keep of them.
SUGAR Is the substance most uni
versally diffused through all natural
products. Let married people take q
hint from this provision of nature.
The last word is dangerous. Hus-
band and wife should no more fight to
get it than they should struggle for
the possession of q lighted bombshell.
