THE BEST BARGAIN OF ALL
MEIGS & CO.,. ANNOUNCE A CLOS ING OUT OF WOMEN'S
 SUMMER DRESSES.

Many merchants are wondering how they can get rid of things left over be- fore autumn selling sets in. There are bargains in those stories where a set tied policy prevails of selling a sea- sons styles during the season, and wise women can combine profit and amuse- ment by shopping in these stores at this time. This is, in short. the season when bargains are ripest because wise merchants have got to sell. They need the room. Their profit has been made and they are actually only too glad to take less than they paid for merchan- disc. This is the case of Meigs & Go. s big store. In both the mems and women's sections tremendous cuts have been made in the prices of every broken line, and odd garments. to make way for fall goods. Boys cloth ing is also selling at prices to make glad the hearts of mothers who are counting the cost of school outfits aud
 in the shoe section, broken lines of | mems, women's and children's shoes | are marked at the lowest prices of the
 season. Surely in this bargain time every woman who reads this can find
 her particular bargain at Meigs & Co.

Her death marks the loss of family remarkable for longevity,
 two sisters having reached greater age. Born and reared in an age that developed strength of character, Mrs Staples possessed unusual gifts She was a great -reader-and retentive memory made her a most interesting conversationalist, even at her advanced age. Endowed with sturdy, good sense, honesty of purpose, high principals and an abiding faith in the Supreme Being she has not lived in vain but has set an example for all that if followed will make the world better

SAVED FROM DROWNING

SAVED FROM DROWNING.
 Clifford Buckley, who is spending a few weeks with MT and Mrs s. J. Park, had a narrow escape from drown ing few days ago. He was playing near the brook just below where Ward Brothers Mill formerly stood, when he tried to step across the stream on some rocks and slipped and fell into the water. In falling he must have hit his head on a rock which stunned and dazed him a little. Miss Ruth Brins- made, who was with him cried for help and her father, Chester Brins- made, heard her and was soon on the spot and waded out into the stream up to his neck and caught the lad just as he was going down for the last time and took him to the shore. With the help of others he applied restoratives and soon brought the lad around all right. It was a close call for the young man and had not MT Brinsmade made quick time from his store to the brook, he would have been drowned.
