v On September 1st we Wish to make a change in our business, and those in our debt will1"
greatly oblige, as well as make the work much lighter, by paying their accounts at, once."' In t'.
order to make the change in so short a time, we will offer our entire stock of Clothing, Dry
Goodst.NotionsJShpes, Hats and Millinery at REDUCED PRICES. We are not going out of '
business simply want to make a change that will make the people in this and surrounding

we know the people look and judge for themselves; and that is all we want. We will take
pleasure in sending samples or quoting prices, and can make it a good investment for 'those '
who have surplus, to buy for next season, should their wants be supplied, but to those in neecf T!
we urge an investigation of our stock and .prices. , .
We will take barter in exchange for goods, but will only allow the cash value for such barter,
as our goods will be offered at much less than the regular cash market value Those, who in-,
sist. upon our paying the barter prices must expect us to get our marked prices for goods, but ,
all know our usual prices are cheaper than goods are commonly bartered. All know we do
not cjaim for our business anything we cannot prove, though it is a common thing for mer
chants to advertise the "biggest stock and the lowest prices", and the usage is so general that
the people have to see before believing, so we only have to say, come and judge. '

Dr. Augustus Wallor, of Philadel
phia, has recently made a number of
experiments showing that it is possible
to detect by existing electrical instru
ments the electric currents generated
at each beat of the heart Two people,
holding each other by the hand, and
connected with a capillary electrom
eter, give evidence of electric shocks
through each other. The hands of a
single subject dipped into two basins
little word much that will protect you
irom evil tongues. .Learn to unnic
tnat your face is too sacred to decorate
the apartment of Tom, Dick or Harry,
no matter if ono of the thrco is one of
the plcasantest , follows in the world.
When the sun imprinted in black and
white, just how sweet and how dainty
fon look, it did not mean that , the
picture should have incense in the
shape of tobacco smoko or dubious
praiso in the form of a dismission of
your points rendered to it Giveaway
your picture with discretion. Bemenr

Prince Charming, who will have a
ri"bt the right owned by the master
of the heart to aak for the counterfeit
presentment of yourself after he knows
that he is going to have the real girl

would bo if be should discover that
tho givintr away of your photograph
joornal that the" practice is venr iren
eral of staffing quantities of dirty rub
bish into so-called feather pillows, bol
sters and beds. More positive evidence
is found jn the fact that such articles
have been eat open and found to con
tain scrap of dirty black serge, ap
parently porta of eotsc sleeves, 'pieces
of dirty i greasy silk dreaatay old wor
ted braid, soiled linen rags, and col
ored calico.? and ether filthy, sub

deadly diseases. The safe. way ia to
