pleasing; also solos by Miss Richmond,
Mrs. Stannard, Mr.. Wheeler and DIR.

readings by Mrs. Nichols and Mr.. W Wheeler,
''Coming thro' the Rye in tableaux, and |
the "Highland Fling" Refreshments were
oatmeal and real Scotch cakes with Adams |
ale. In the merry social hour everyone
pronounced the entertainment a great sue

charge, especial thanks are due to the
''Highland Ladies'" The next regular

NJ. Hubbard, Wednesday evening, Jan. p.
During the past week Geo. H. Davis
store has been filled with people, anxious
to take advantage of the bargains offered
by the Peerless Mfg. Co.'S sale. Mr.. Davis
has already sold much more than the COM
pany has usually sold during the entire
two weeks and his sixteen clerks have been
| busy. Much of the time his store has been
crowded more than the large city stores
are during the bargain season, making it
almost impossible to get about and inspect
! the goods. AS the other merchants have
been offering bargains they may all be said
! to have reaped rich harvest during the
week. 1t has, however, been ladies week
and the gentlemen have been obliged to
stand aside while the ladies have been do
ing the trading. When the men have been
asked if they would like to make a certain
! purchase they have usually replied, Eyes
but my wife has my pocket book and is
looking after bargains" This is a change
from the usual order of things and should
be appreciated by all concerned.
