things that It's bestto dispose
of at a very small price rather
than hold over for another sea-
son. That part concerns only
us; 1t is a part of the store

goods that are much reduced
might appeal to you as being
among the most desirable.
Make a list of your dry goods

In several cases.
The court set aside the verdict OF three
years in the penitentiary in the case OF

fixed his punishment at two years in
the peniteary. was brought into court
and his counsel made q motion for a

tined TO go on forever, rejecting sun
shine and happiness throughout all lts
wanderings. The play possesses an I'M
usual amount OF hearl's interest, and
appeals largely to the better nature
OF Its audiences. The rugged honesty
OF the shrewd. yet generous old New
Hampshire farmer, and the thought that
mere we have one of Gods noblemen,
leaves an impression not soon forgotten,
and the auditor comes away with
suggestion of older, maybe happier
days, Of honesty and rugged strength,

something that appeals to the ressful

Beautiful Piece of Work.

10 marvel OF artistic taste and me-
chsnical detail. We have naturally re-.
ceived many calendars during the past
few weeks from all parts of the United
States, but none OF them have in any
way approached the one issued by the
Stone Company. These gentlemen de-
serve nothing but the highest praise for
the enterprise which prompted them to
issue this costly piece Of work, 1t must
be remembered, too, that she designing,
engraving and printing were all exe-
outed in their own establishment It
will probably be news to some people
that such high class OF art work can
be done in this city. There is certainly
no necessity for sending abroad to have
high class printing done 80 long as the
