quite a stock OF "rummage" for the
unique sale which Is advertised to
commence tomorrow. The stock has
been contributed by their friends and
includes various articles from deer
horns to old stoves, from pictures to
carpets and mattings. Many of the
articles look as II they ought to be de-
sirable to just anybody, and seem very
we'll calculated to bring good prices,
