A G. Bakers March Adv t.

WE are about entering a new era, tht
 thing like it? Echo answers, no, never. Like TTilby's foot, there's not another like It IT
 ing like March except a little connecting period each year between February and April. Mud and slush: Freeze and unfreeze | squalls. Cold sores and corkscrew shaped | cyclonic breezes mingled in equal parts with | bad smells and coal ashes. Dust and angry
 wind sent straight from the shoulder, ac | companied by barn doors, skylights and
 profanity, dismembered umbrellas, more | dust and the grip, until not one of us can see | the beam in our brothers eye on account ot J the presence ot beams and notes and such 1 like in our own eyes. Then comes deluge
 suddenly the whole bottom drops out of the egg market and all the principal roads in J town. The ice breaks up in the river and, ac companied by most of the bridges and rail fences, moves on to victory and t1dewater. such breaking down and demolition of party lines especially along the bottom lands has been paralleled at no other season of the year and in no other instance except during the late municipal elections in New York city. The old brown hen, our favorite hen, steals nest and surreptitiously matches out chicks which these sudden freezes send to untImely graves. Surface and snow water find the level ot our cellars through numerous winding rat holes, and the water from our crystal spring resetn bles in color and taste the drippings ot tan vat. Unministerial ex- pressions come to the front in the best of families and trials and tribulations seem to rise and tall ad infinitum until we feel almost eager to say amen to the old mans fervent Suppllcatlon O1 ''O LOru, II thou WILL but see fit to take care ot me through this month ot March, will agree to take care of myself all the rest of the time." This Is the month we watch with interest the passage to more con genial climes ot the wild goose overhead and the chilblain under foot. Every cloud has it's silver lining and so doing the month of Marcb the poor furniture man who has passed wearily through the long dull months Of winter is cheered by the thought that now is the appointed time when every thrifty house keeper rouses from her lethaTgica sleep and
 searches the country far and near for the most desirable place to purchase her spring carpets and needed articles of furniture, and rlght here we rise to remark that we have stock on hand and daily arriving that has never been equalled since we began business. An elegant line of carpe in all grades at prices lower than was ever reached before | received. We keep the back numbers care fully weeded out Of our furniture, and you will get new designs if you buy of We don't claim to be any smarter, shrewder or better business managers than anybody else, but we do claim most emphatlcal1y that whtle we are away out in the tall grass and big timber the many and great advant ges of our location enable us to handle a large stock ot furniture smaller expense than any other live man in the state can do it to-day on the cars without going through Hawley vile is as true as the familiar quotation "that all roads lead to Rome." Now don't be nasty in your purchase this spring, but look us as others over carefully before you buy. Now this last was the main and principal point we wished to make to start with. Took us an everlasting long time to make it, didn't ot most everything is quite apt to be clear out on the end? You never can bayonet pig gracefully with the first end or middle ot your gun.
