ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
The Large stock of the Hayt n Pierce Co.
To be Closed out as soon as Possible.

On account of the i'll health of H. H..
Hayt, the senior member OF the mercan-
tile firm of The Hayt * Pierce Co, it
has been decided TO close out the large
stock OF merchandise in the opera house
block and an announcement TO that
effect is made in their ad. in The Record
this week.
Mr.. Hayt's health has been declining
for several years and the continual worry
entailed by close attention to the details
of the business has caused him to SER
iously consider this move for some time.
The business during the past year has
been better than ever before and it is
with decided reluctance that this change
has been considered advisable.
AS soon as the stock has been reduced
sufficiently to dispose Of the remainder
to some responsible party it is the inten-
ton to do so and Mr.. Hayt then expects
to either go to California or Cuba.
1t is with regret that TheRecord makes

Alma's most prosperous and progressive
mercantile institutions ever since they

As IA farewell entertainment for the
IA Thanksgiving party was held in the
assembly room of the public building on
Thursday evening of last week, invita-
tions having been previously sent out to
all those residing in Alma who in years
gone by have been members, as well as
to the present active members of the de-
partment. The attendance was not as
large as expected on account of so many
being away from home during the day,
but those who were present enjoyed a
very pleasant time with dancing and
games and were considerably dis
appointed on account OF so few of the
old members not being in attendance, as
the committee in charge had made con-
siderable effort to provide for their en-
tertainment.
The members Of the now defunct de.
partment wish 60 thank the citizens for
their cooperation and support and
especially for the comfortable home that
has been provided for those who remain

GAINING STRENGTH.
Michael Burns Now Well on the Way
to Recovery.

Michael Burns is rapidly improving,
and when seen by a Journal reporter
in his room, yesterday forenoon, was
bolstered up in bed and chatted very
freely about his experience. AS long
as he remains in bed he feels very well,
but when he tries ito walk he feels
dizzy and faint. He hopes, however,
to be about again in week or ten days
more.
Mr.. Burns feels very sure that he
was drugged prior to the assault and
robbery committed upon him. He feels
further that the drug must have been
administered either in his glass or in
his food, as all present drank from the
same bottle. Speaking of his expert
ence. he said to the Journal:
II could see and hear as well at the
time of the robbery as I can now, but l
seemed to be paralyZed and to have no
control of my limbs. l saw the robbery
committed and heard what was said
at the time. but had no power to re-
sist. 1t looks as if the affair had been
carefully and shrewdly planned. My
watch, a valuable one, was left on my
person; a pension check and my pock-
etbook which W3s taken from me,
was put back in my pocket after I was
assaulted and loose silver and change
which l had on my person, amounting
to $3.11 were not disturbed. 1 firmly
believe that if 1 had not been discov-
cred just as 1 was I would have been
a dead man in very short time.
When I was left in the shed where
was found, my face had been pushed
down into the sind, and have had on
my forehead severe scratches which in
dicated the force with which this was
done. Had my dead body been found
where was dumped, the fact that
had a poCketbook with a check in it, a
valuable watch and loose money in my
pocket would have been taken as evil
dence that no robbery had been COM
mitted upon me, and I believe this
fact was carefully taken into con-
sideration by the men who robbed me"
The continued improvement of Mr..
Burns and his clear recollection of the
events preceding the assault and rob-
berry give good reason to hope that
the miscreants who were guilty of this
grave crime may be brought to justice.

cosrs NOTHING UNLESS CURED.
A Fair Offer Made by Percy w. Means
and Bowditch & Webster to All Suf.
ferers from Catarrh.

Percy w. Means and Bowditch &
Webster are selling Hyomei on a plan
that has caused considerable talk
amongst their customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the rem
edy itself is different also. This treat
ment for the cure of catarrh has such
an unusual record of cures to it's credit
that Percy. w. Means and Bowditch &
Webster offer to refund the money if
it does not give the desired benefit.
This is certainly one of the fairest Of
fers that can be made, and any one
who has catarrh and does not take ad-
vantage of it is doing himself or her
self an injustice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of
an inhaler that can be carried in the
vest pocket a medicine dropper and a
bottle of Hyomei. The complete treat
ment costs but $1.00 and as the inhal-
er will last a lifetime and there is suf-
ficient Hyomei for more than a months
use, the medicine is very inexpensive.
Many people who have used it write
that for the good Hyomei has done
them they would willingly pay thou
sands of dollars.
Extra bottles Of Hyomei can be pro-
cured for use with the inhaler at soc.
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, irritating, burning, eye
watering troubles that afflict those
who have catarrh. Hyomei will cure
you, but if you should not find it adapt
ed t. your case, Percy w. Means and
Bowditch & Webster will return your
money.
