dict of Canton, also a sister of Mrs.
John Holsey. Three children came of
this union. Curtis, Bill MRS. John

AN INTERESTING BUDGET OF BARGAINS IN SEAS0NABLE GOODS
Saturday after Dinner and
After Supper Sale"

W. were quite sure that there would be no
w lack of buyers at the first Saturday tAfter
Dinner and After Supper Sale''-the crowds
came, it saw and was conquered. 1t needed no
microscope to discover the remarkable values.
The merchandise was here, exactly as we adver-
tised 1.-THE prices, we'll we only know that ac-
ton began at the stroke of two O'Clock and con-
tinued undated till closing time. One can
bring a crowd with an Offering of big values,
but we won'tdo business unless the prices match
the advertisement. We did business. We have
prepared for the second After Dinner and After
Supper Sale with another great budget of bar
gains. We will see a large percentage of the
people who came to the frst-and a host of
iends-because there has been much talk of
the plums that were picked at the first sale.
So you had better come to another crop ready
for you to harvest.

Two Roads Suggested.
These reports state that two roads
have been suggested, one in the

in the third congressional district.
Department officials say they have
heard nothing from the state authori-
ties, but they are positive in their
refusal to take any responsibility for
the selection Of the locality in which
work is to be done.
Under the terms OF the last post
Office appropriation, the federal gov
eminent is to contribute $4,000 il
local interests will contribute On
equal amount for the Improvement
and maintenance OF fifty miles of
post road i'm each of the several
states. 1t is under this law that the
preliminary work has been done in
Minnesota.
