Scranton's favorite hair dresser and
artist will retire from business in this
city April lst. Until that date all work
will be done at greatly reduced prices
Every article in the store will be sold
at such low prices as will insure a spe-
cial clearance of the entire stock by
April lst. This will be rare oppor-
tunity to lay in a supply of toilet ar
ticles, switches, etc; also the only op-
portunity to have wigs switches and
front pieces at prices that cannot be
equalled again. As an artist in this
line Mr. Konency has no peer in this
section of the country, few to excel
him anywhere. He closes his business
here for location in a larger city. All
orders will be executed promptly and
for cash only. a..

dismissed, and Dr.--was called. He
said Mr. Bailey was suffering from
severe attack of nervous prostration
caused by hard study and oVerwork,
and that he must have rest and quiet
