1&sEMxMALLEY@. United Mfrs. Sale

A sale in which the biggest firms of the country unite with the Big Store in an ex- traordinary underprice oc- casion. We were able to ob- tain these remarkable price concessions by buying out entire stocks. And the whole inside negotiation has been given by the publication in the New Haven press of the letters from the firms figuring in the sale. A remarkable feature is that owing to the tremendous buying, no goods are shown in the windc ws- merely a straightforward statement of the sale.
 We cannot crowd into this space any adequate list of the bargains. But the stories will soon reach you-only a little late, if you wait.

ISAAC GRIFFIN.


 The death of Isaac Griffin occurred at his fathers home on Tuesday, l3, after a long and painful illness. He has been suffering with a cancer in the head six long years and has had seven operations, but all could not save him. He became total ly blind in April. Since that time there was only darkness for him in this world but he looked beyond this darkness to the bright shore where all is glorious and fair. He was never heard to complain. Although only 20 years of age he was looking and wait ing for the rest that he is enjoying now.
 Now the laborer's task is OCT,
 Now the battle day is past,
 Now upon the farther shore.
 Lands the vOyager at last.
 Father in thy gracious keeping
 Leave we now thy servant sleeping"

A Joke is going the rounds and an
Augusta professional man, who Is
somewhat of q sportsman and at the
same time apt to be absent minded. IS
the victim. They say he started out
a-fiShing Sunday-yeS, the story mas
it Sunday-armed with substantial
luncheon and enough bait TO feed all
the fish in the pond which was ms
destina ton, for a month or less. Alter
ploughing through numerous Sno"
drifts he arrived. The raw wind swept
across the pond and chilled him to his
bones but with undaunted spirit he set
himself vigorously at work to cut
hole through the two feet of ice. IN
due time this was accomplished after
much putting and blowing and con-
siderable perspiration in spite OF the
cold. With much satisfaction he
viewed the result of his work and be-
gan preparations for catching a good
string of fish. 1t was then that he
made o discovery that cooled his ar
dor and made him wish he had never
heard of fishing. He had left his fish,
ing tackle at home, Instead Of lying
IN his coat pocket where he was sure
ne had placed them. his lines We're on
Il shelf in his wOodshed. With down
was accomplished and in spite of his
reticence. the story got out. 1t is
Hdid that he contra cted to furnish one
OF the fish markets with q number of
pounds
