 That price may bring saving of only one dolar-it may bring saving of several.
 The single pairs will be sold at half of former price whether that price $1 or $12
 And big quantity of curtains of different sorts n large variety of patterns also at saving.
 Why should worthy curtains sell at less than regular price2 asks wise housewife.
 Because great majority of house wives have finished their Autumn retting, have bought curtains, and have left these odd ?, pairs of pattern and be- selling to take less money in order to clear stock Or else because maker wanted clear his stock

the wonderful preparations made by for ultimate well

But future lives depend upon present action is there
not universal principle of direction that all follow and
which invariably conducts to the best esuts?'
There is indeed, she answered. and it is summed up in
these words-hat fear God and obey His commandments
In this way and only does Ellen think that may live
forever.
But will Ellen tell old Pine what the greatest these
commandments"
Ellen will tell them" she said they beautiful;
Thou shalt the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with

Chance to Boost for Audubon

James Law, one of our enterprising
and energetic citizens has decided to
hold public auction on Wednes-
day, Feb. 18th, at which time he will
offer for sale number of town lots in

Building sites in Audubon are mighty
scarce, and were it not for Mr.. Laws
generosity, people who desire to build
homes would have a hard time to find
a suitable location. He comes to the
rescue in the niche of time These lots
will be sold and the purchaser will get
them at his own price. Mr.. Law is to
be commended for this evidence of
public spirit, and the people of the
town should give him their hearty and
undivided support in this enterprise.

Ornaments For The City Park

The fore part of the week two riffled
cannons were received from Washing
ton, ID c., these having been loaned by
the government to the town of Audi
bon for ornamental purposes. The
guns weigh IL 900 and for the present
have been placed at the west entrance
to the park. However, in the spring it
will be definitely decided as to where
they will be located and at that time
the guns will be mounted on a solid
concrete foundation. These ornaments
were secured through the influence of
Congressman Green. Audubon is in
deed fortunate in being able to obtain
them for this class of guns is eagerly
sought by the larger towns and cities
and the demand for them far exceeds
the supply, When the cannons have
been permantly located they will make
a valuable and beautiful ornamentation
for our beautiful park.
