TO THE PUBLIC.

We desire to announce to the pub
lie that our great stock of clothing is
going fast in spite of the rumors
that have been set afloat by our COM
petitors that we were only transient
merchants. We are here for BUSH
ness and to stay. We have recently
bought one of the largest stocks of
goods that was ever shipped to Au-
dubon and have added to that the
large stock of goods formerly carried
by the firm of Nelson & Faaborg
which was bought new but two or
three months ago and now we are
prepared to meet the demands of all
corners.
We have no charges to make
against our competitors. We do not
need to invoke the aid of the Town
Council, or need to take any other
methods to sell our goods. They
show for themselves. We have been
selling at half prices and propose to
continue doing so and to fight it out
along those lines if it takes all sum-
mer. We are not transient mer-
chants. Remember that we are here
to stay. AS to such rumors, "we
deny the allegation and defy the
alIegators." Respectfully,
NIELSEN, FAABORG & NELSON.

they have ever selected. The course
as selected will be Kathryn Ridgway's
Concert Company which is made up
OF the best talent going and will prove

Russell Conwell is too we'll known to

OF Doctor Fox that his lecture last
year was the one of the most brilliant
and at the same time entertaining
ones that we have ever Iistered to.

some curiou. Book TITLES.

In the sixteenth century we find the
greatest extravaganza displayed in the
titles of books. These may be taken
as examples: @The Spiritual Snuffbox,
to Lead Devoted Souls to Christ" and
"The Spiritual Seringa For Souls
STEPPED In Devotion" A work on
Christian charity published in 1887 is
entitled Buttons and Buttonholes For
Believers Breeches." Another quaint
publication is Father La Chaucie's
work entitled BREAD Cooked on the
Ashes; Brought by an Angel to the
Prophet Eligiah (ElijaD to Comfort
the Dying" Another was issued with
the curious title of "The Lamp of S.
Augustine and the Flies That Fit
Around It."
The following very attractive title
appeared in book published at New
castle in 1905: "Some Beautiful Bis
cults Cooked In the Oven of Charity
and Put Aside For the Fowls Of the
Church. the Sparrows of the Spirit and
the Swallows of Salvation"

pia. while on their way to the land
ing at Tompkinsville to take aboard
officers. were caught in the ice be-
tween Stapleton and Tompkinsville.
