 The seleotmen have warned a town meeting for next Monday to vote on grading and altering the road in this vil- lage near the residents of G. M. Ives, and s. Newton, also near the Sidney F. Need ham place south of the Hollow. No doubt the road in this village could be improved, and an appropriation to be judlciously ex- pended by the selectmen, would be a good move for the town. The best course, un- doubtedly, would be to fill in at the base of the hill, and at the same time raise the hill about two feet, making an easier grade on that road, and lifting it out of the mud. Good residences are being put up on the south road, and 1t Is getting to be an important street, aside from the new road about being made to lead from 1t.

There is no trash in this sale-not garment of it. never kept trash, and never will. Two causes lead up to this sale, and give you these great bargains at this time, viz:
 First: We have made an extraordinary purchase of fine goods from one of the best underwear manufacturers, by which we tide him over a rather critical period in his affairs, and thus become the owner of as fine a stock of muslin underwear as was ever held at prices ONE-THIRD BELOW the usual market values.
 Second: Our decision. to merge with the above goods our great stock of fine muslin underwear just gathered here for our great semi-annual sale, which is held every year, and was to begin the latter part of next month"; These goods were made to our order, and were bought exceptionally low. .-
 Look up your muslintunder- wear wants for the next six months at least, and come to this sale prepared to fill them. It is a remarkable opportunity.
