them for exhibition at the coming fair,
would let It be known.to the superintend-
ent OF the educational exhibits If any
one having such relics find lt inconven-
lent or impossible to send them TO

on or before October l., and will notify
me as early as possible, will see that
they are collected and safely returned.

THOSE OLD ELMS.

The four mammoth elms in front of

pest, have been leveled to the ground, this
week. These trees were veterans. Elk
Town Clerk Charles Henry Peck says
they were set out 81 years ago by S. p.
Barnum, then proprietor of the public
house. One of the oldest trees in the
Steert is probably that in front of Mrs
$. g. Glover's which was set out 100
years ago by David Van Buren, Baldwin,
who brought it on horseback from Wal
nut Tree Hill. Mr. Leonard has engaged
Nj. A. Bidwell of Hartford to set out ma
pie trees to take the place of the elms.

/ Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday of this week we exhibit a
large and most important col
lection of Oriental Rugs and
Carpets, which we begin to
sell Monday at public auction.
These rugs were selected by
an expert and we'll worth com
ing miles to see. Some of the
pieces are of the richest and
most luxurious character, repre-
senting a lost art never to be
produced again; for the pat
terms and colorings are from
designs which were perfected
in the days when Damascus,
Ninevah and Babylon were
all in their glory.
The sale will begin Monday.
September "a, at 10 80 a. M,
and last three days, regardless
of weather. Each rug or car
pet will be sold at just what
you see fit to bid for it, with
out limit or reserve.
Catalogues describing each
rug will be sent to those who
want them.
Our dressmaking depart
ment is now open and ready
for business.
The new silks and dress
goods are at thei1 best now.
There will be more, but at no
time probably will the variety
be larger or better than it is
now; for the choicest things
come in small quantities, gen
orally only enough for a single
dress.
Several patterns of black
brocaded silk that are general
ly sold for I.25 and that gen
orally have to be sold at that
price because they generally
cost reasonable profit under
I.25, are here at 100. We
make the statement so careful

same silks at 1.25.
