cross the North American continent from north
to south is again revived by army officer

GRAFTON. But II can be made of much greater
service in other ways. Such line will be closer
link between the United states and the republics
OF the south. II will not only facilitate commune
cation and develop commerce between the coun-
tries II traverses. but 1t may aid in settling
many questions that are now vexatious. Our
relations with our Central American neighbors
would be much more satisfactory IL our contact
with them were a little closer. and the great
railroad proposed ought to be factor in es-
tablishing the desired conditions.

BARGAIN DAY At THE
MARKET TOMORROW

Another bargain day" liz promised
the patrons of the Farmers Public
market tomorrow, when a lot Of
"Wednesday specials" win again be N
evidence. The plan of special sales on
certain leaders on each Wednesday
market was started a couple of weeks
ago in order to stimulate the mid week
market, the Wednesday sales not hav-
ing kept pace with the Saturday mar
ket The plan has proved such sue
cess from the start that it has been
decided to continue the feature inde-
finitely. Last Wednesday the leaders
on which special bargain prices were
made included homemade pickles,
bread. cookies, apples,
r. bone steaks and number of other
things. What the leaders for tomor-
rows market win be win not be dis
closed until the market opens, the plan
being to arouse the curiosity of the
patrons and get them to the market
before knowing what co. modities the
bargain sales will be on.
On Saturday a surprise was sprung
on the patrons when a bankrupt stock
OF fine candies was placed on sale at
less than wholesale prices, this stock
of sweets was pu- chased and placed on
sale practically at cost in order to
stimulate sales in other lines. The
sale OF these candies will continue at
tomorrows market.
