A Gem.

Vick's Floral Guide for 1897 is just out. To call it a gem is to em- ploy the use of a very mild expres Sien. It is one of the most attrac- tive publications ever issued by Jas. Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. r.. and to those who have had dealings with this old, reliable establishment in past years, this means that the Flo Tal Guide is one of the finest cata- logues of the season. Aside from the brilliant ornamental features, it is 6 compendium of valuable infor- nation on the subject of flowers and should be widely distributed throughout the country. Vick's Floral Guide and packet of either Branching Astsr, Pansy or Japan NorEing glory mailed on receipt of fifteen cents.

A nE ASSESSORS.

The Salem County Board of Assess
ors held Il special meeting in the Court
House, in Salem, last Saturday, when
representative taxpayers from every
township were present and nearly all
gave reasons in favor of reducing the
valuation on farm lands. After q
thorough discussion the Board ordered
a reduction of ten per cent.
The township of P~ittsgrove asked for
no reduction, its representative stating
that tue taxpayers there were for the
most part satisfied and feared that If u
lower valuation was placed on the prop
critics a higher rate of taxation would
be necessary. In Elsinboro the Assess
or was instructed to place a valuation
Of $50 per acre IN tue better farm land
in his township, despite the fact that
the State Board of Taxation had allow
ed u reduction of Is per cent. on last
years assessment which was made on
the same basis as above.
1t was ordered that Salem Bank stock
be assessed at 500 per share, Woods
town Bank stock at $500 per share. City

Four Millions of Dollars in Spring
Stock.
Present stocks in the PhiladeI-
phia store alone exceed in value
Four Millions of Dollars.
The goods were ordered when
days were darkest and money had
the utmost buying power. On very
many lines we could realize large
profit by holding the goods-for
higher prices will come as Prosper
ity's sun mounts higher-and that
regardless of what action or mac
ton occurs at Washington.
But we gather exclusively for re-
tail selling-never for speculation.
And in the face of higher prices we
name lowest prices ever known on
many lines Of goods, simply be-
cause they have been laid in dur
ing depressed times.
The news concerns everybody
who can come or who will write
promptly. Aggregate lots are large,
but of course of some lots prompt
corners will quickly take our all.

were very young or middle-aged,

inches were built up-and the suit
we'd send would fit as well as the
tailor's suit at first trying-on. Bet

Now if you come for the clothes
it's better still, for we can do such

do. In short. we can give you
really tailored clothes ready-made.
The popular price for dressy suits
(not full dress suits) is SIS. They
are such suits as almost any really

economy of time. No waiting for

The best suits are $40 to S25-
