 REASONABLE ADVICE ABOUT CLOTHING.
 Lord Chesterfield once said 'sdress yourself fine where others are fine, and plain where others are plain,S but take care that your clothes are we'll made and fit you, for otherwise they will fgiye. y ou a very awkward air." Davis S5r Sayards 429 Main street, sell union made goods which insures the best of worknnanship. Their clothing is cut and made with care. In the selection of materials they use careful judgement that the garment when finished may not only look we'll, gbut wear satisfactorily, At this season of the year there is always demand for an extra pair of pantaloons to wear out the coat and vest of the spring. suit They keep in addition to full suits a lot of separate trousers which they sell at very low prices Clothing of every sort is very low in price but these extra pam taloons are going for song. All wool goods in handsome patterns, at $2 per pair, fine enough to wear anywhere. Others at $2-50- and up-to $5, which buys the best. When in the city give the up to date" store a call. See ad.. " 7

Everybody was given a genuine welcome and colla- tion was served at 5.30 D. m., to about 70 out-of-town people. The reception com mittee, four young ladies and gentlemen, were distinguished by white caps with crimson bands which they wore every where, in imitation of the custom so prominent in Boston, The singing of Endeavor songs on the green between services was a feature of the occasion. To permit parties from distance to drive home the evening session was closed at S.30.o Several companies of Endeavorers did not return until Saturday. ,t t,'.91,s,. l'i.
