Our conservative people are decld-

clusively to the purpose of for which it
was called, viz: arrange for the con.
stitutional convention then adjourn.
AS the members will get just the same
money for one day they would fol

they will make the session as short as
possible.

BLACKSMITHS
| AND WATCHMAKERS,

There are tricks in all trades but
ours, is an old saying. There are also
lot of people who are always willing
to do work little less than others
without offering any satisfactory rea-
son for doing SO.
This is true of watch business, and
you will find in nine cases out of ten
the reason is incompetency. A fine
watch needs the service of a good
mechanic and in the hands of the
skilled matchmaker it will give the
best results and be the cheapest in the
end. Our work is always guaranteed

as Ii came from the home of the Bell

is nothing in the suit decided upon
which to base an appeal to the United
