A CORRECTION.

The GRAPHIC in it's issue of Thurs. day stated that the First ward meet- ing for the election of a central committeeman was held in the .'back end of barroom In this state ment the GRAPHIC was wrongfully informed. We are now reliably ad- vised that the meeting was held in vacant building few doors from saloon and at the same place in which the election was held.
 In the GRAPHIC of the 20th ult, relative to certain advice given MT. J. M. Henry at Redfeld, by Mr. s. c. Martin in regard to the poll book of that township, the GRAPHIC said: "He (Henry) was misinformed by one (Mr. Martini whose interest it was to conceal the poll-book. We have been advised by Mir. Martin that the Redfeld ballot-box gave majority for his opponent, and therefore he could have had no in- terest in "conceallng the poll book.
 We cheerfully make the above corrections, for ia this family row between Democrats, while the GRAPHIC has strong opinions, it de- sires to do no man an injustice or to make any misrepresentasisps, which it will not knowingly do.

We Fit Boys
3 to 10 Years.

Sell everything for them in
the line of clothing and fur
nishings. This can be just as
good a boys clothing as it is
a dry goods store, carpet
store, a millinery store-and
it is.
Completeness marks our
boys clothing stock. We have
as low-priced clothing as any
boy should have to wear, as
expensive as any boy need
care to have, and everything
between the two extremes.
We sell everything at our
usual profit, viz: as little as
we can put the price on and
live. That makes lower prices
than good boys clothing can
be had for in most stores.
Take your station here with
us for an hour in the thick of
a busy day, and hear the en-
comiums passed on the assort-
ment of our stock, the taste
fulness and style of our
clothing and the low price on
everything.
To-day, particular attention
is called to a new line of long
trouser suits for boys IA to 19
years, at SIS, $3.50, $3.50,
$3.50 and $40 a suit. They
will commend themselves to
you on sight, but examine
them closely-did ever you
see such suits at the price?
At So and $6.5O-Gray and
Brown Scotch Mixtures, carefully
selected patterns-made like mems
tailor-made suits.
At $3.50 and $S.5O-Darker
patterns, hard twisted Scotch Chew
otis, Worsteds, etc.-carefully Sc
lected patterns like mems
| tailor-made suits.
At $1O-Fancy Scotches, Wor-
steds, etc.-dark and medium pat
terms; double breasted, heavy Navy
Serges, silk faced-made like mems
tailor-made suits.
Suits 3 to 14-year-old boys,
ST. .o8 to $40. Tasteful, styl-
ish suits, made to wear, fit
and look well.
