every thing they wish for in the camp,
and that Miss Helen Gould sends ice
cream twice week. The ward assigned

]. R. LIBBY co.

Some time ago the J. r. Libby Co. (,
offered an immense amount of "factory
shorts for sale. 1t was remarkable how
this novelty took. There were thousands
of pieces, but they were eagerly snapped
up as they were great bargains. These
shorts are remnants, short lengths, single
pieces, and odd lots that have been accu-
mulating in the factory warehouses.
There are domestics sheetings, pillow
tabings, prints and fannels, table
dainasks, underclothes, stockings, gloves,
etc. The advertisement shows how cheap
these really essential articles of home
wear and domestic use can be procured.
To read one of these advertisements is
more interesting than many story books.
If there is anything needed of household
furnishings be sure and call in and supply
the need now. The sale will continue
through Saturday

is an opera artist, an Austrian, whose
manager ran off and left them stranded.
1t is said that Portland lady will give
q concert for her assistance soon.
