A G. Bakers March Adv t.

! WE are about entering new era, the l w month of March. Did you ever see any ! thing like it? Echo answers, no, never. Like Trilby's foot, there's not another like it in all Psris-except it's mate," and there's noth- ing like March except little connecting | period each year between Februa1y and 1 April. Mud and slush; Freeze and unfreeze. Measles and high winds. Malaria and snow 1 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, skyhghts and profanity, diSmemb bered umbrellas, more dust and the grip, until not one of us can see the beam in our brothers eye on account Of the presence Of beams and notes and such like in our own eyes. Then comes a deluge and general thaw all along the line, and suddenly the whole bottom drops out Of the egg market and all the principal roads in town. The ice breaks up in the river and, ac companied by most Of the bridges and rail tences moves on to victory and tidewater. 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 tavorite hen, steals nest and surreptitiously hatches out chicks which these sudden freezes send to untlmely graves. Surface and snow water find the level of our cellars through numerous winding rat holes, and the water from our crystal spring resembles in color and taste the dTippingS Ot a tan vat. Unministerial eX pressions come to the front in the best of families and trials and tribulations seem to rise and tall ad infiDitum until we feel almost eager to say amen to the old mans tervent
 
 fit 10 take care ot me through this month ot March. l 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 of the wild goose overhead and the ch1lblain under foot. Every cloud has its silver lining and so doing the month of March Ihe poor furniture man who has passed wearilY through the long dull months ot winter is cheered by the thought that now is the appointed time when every thrifty house keeper rouses from her lethargic sleep and searches the country far and near for the most desirable place to purchase her spring carpefs and needed articles ot furniture, and right here we rise to remark that we have a stock hand and daily arriving that has never been equal1ed since began business. An elegant line Of carpets in all grades at prices lower than was ever reached before Ninety and desirable patterns just received. We keep the back numbers care fully weeded out Of our furniture, and you will get new designs if you buy ot us. We don't claim to be any smarter, shrewder or better business managers than anybody else, but we do claim most emphatlcally that while we are away out in the tall grass and our location enable us to handle a large stock Of furniture on a smaller expense than any other live man in the state can do it today That you can't go anywhere from anywhere on the cars without going through Hawley vile is as true the familiar quotation ''that all roads lead to Rome." Now don't be nasty in your purchase this spring, but look us ss others over carefully before you buy. Now this last was the main and principal point we wished to make to starr with. Took us an everlasting long time to make it, didn't of most every thing 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.
