Back From Purchasing Trip.

Ben Bear arrived home Friday
from his 10th semi-annual purchas-
ing trip to the great eastern clothing
market of New York City The
handsome new creations he purchas-
ed are now arriving daily, and soon
his big double store will be filled to
overlooking with the very latest and
best the market affords. He bought
a handsome line of suits, and one
of the biggest assortments he ever
purchased. The new line of neck
wear and shirts now on display are
the most beautiful this store has
ever shown. Everything that the
heart desires can be found in the
big assortment, and the purchaser
can rest assured that there is moth
ing later on the market, or else Mr..
Bear would have it here for them.

A PRETTY STORE.
Wear Store Now Presents Hand
some Appearance.

During the past two weeks Grace
mans ladies' ready-to-wear store
has been in the hands of the carpen-
tiers and painters, and now presents
a modern appearance. The store has
undergone great change being
thoroughly remodeled. An elegant
new steel ceiling has been put in, and
Artist A. M. Kelly decorated it in a
pretty cream color He also decorat-
ed the window side walls with nif-
ty panels; the back ground of the
window is enclosed in fancy lattice
work, which adds an attractiveness
to the window and displays. The new
wall show cases are in the old mission
style, and are loaded down with new
spring goods of all kinds, including
ladies' suits, dresses, waists and
skirts which Mr.. Graceman secured
on his recent trip to market
laid which is covered with pretty new
rugs.
In the rear a fancy lattice work
extends across the room, and behind
this is the alteration department.
Decorated lattice work effects rest
on the top of the wall cases, between
which are displays of waists, dresses,
etc.
The improvement to the store is
decidedly noticeable the minute you
step into the place. In fact the store
presents a handsome appearance,
and the new arrangements are de-
cided advantage to the pleasure and
convenience of this stores customers.
Mr.. Graceman is to be congratulate
ed on his efforts to modernize his
establishment in such an up-to-date
manner.

nobody can possibly tell it has bu.n
applied. BESIDES. it takes off dlui-
ruff, stops scalp itching and fallug
hair. Nou Just dampen sponge ot
oft brush with it and draw this
ugh your hair. taking one small
strand at time by morning the
gray hair disappears. but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur is that, besides beauti-
ully darkening the hair after a few
applications. It also brings back the
loss and lustre and gives ii an APP
