knight and Son WHICH opened Mon
day morning, and many interesting
occurrences have taken place. Last
evening the store was packed full
again with eager buyers and it was
more or less difficult for families to
stay together. While the man of
the house was buying one thing, the
lady would get her eye on some
thing else that she wanted.
This particular incident occurred
near the porch swings which are
being offered during this sale at a
great reduction, cut down to s22. SO

over, the lady was attracted to a
large display of tubs. buckets bask
cts, ETC., no wonder when she saw a
large card on the u~Ibs marked SO
cents and clothes baskets for 81, and
galvanized buckets for 20 cents.

got through with her purchases, she

tention to her, so it can be assured
that the prices must have been ex-
ceptionally attractive, for what man
would not look up to a lady and
smile when she came up to him? Put
her arm in his and called him dearest
unless he was vitality interested in
something that he was afraid was
going to get away.

she again placed one arm around
him and held some bills in front of
him with the other hand, and said:

give it to you. Notwithstanding
these enticing words, party number

for her husband, and finally located
