ELIZABETH ClTY.Nov. 6th. 1S96. Not next March that hope is gone but to be inaugurated March 4, 190 1. Let the foolish smlie if they will, but two years hence even they will have it thrust upon them that the man who was defeated yesterday was the fittest for the great office to which he was nominated; that the policies he championed were the only policies under which this country could prosper pers maueutly; that the cause lie es pouscd was the cause of nine tenths of the people of this Union; that the fate of the first revolt agaiust the shameful, sor did and despotic tenets of the Republicanism of this time does not betoken the fate of the second. Columbia State. AT 1 A 1 11 . . me American oaiiot, tne highest tribunal i j the United States, 'has said that William M'Kinley shall for the next four years be President of this country of ours; that the present finan cial policy shall remain, and .1 1.

VVea;cept the defeat grace fully and bow.forthe time being, to the verdict as expressed at the polls. It is a defeat but not a surrend er, the fight has but begun, the issue is of too great importance to the welfare of the nation to pass into oblivion, and the cause so nobly presented and fought for by that great leader, William J. Bryan, will yet be crowned with success and foiever estab lish our financial supremacy. The future looks gloomy. It is hard to expect better times for the farmer and laborer, froni the promised legislation, how ever, let us hope the coming ads ministration will be one of peace and prosperity and that we may join hands to that end. By the President of the United States: - The people of the United States should never be unmind ful of the gratitude they owe to the God of nations for His .vatrh ful cc.i. .ius sM-Iwu them from d!re disaster and pointed out to them the way of peace and happiness. Nor should they ever refuse to acknowledge with con trite hearts their proneness to turn away from God's teachings and to follow with sinful, pride after their own dev'ces. To the end that these thoughts may be. quickened, it is fitting that 011 a day especially appoint ed'vve should join together in ap proaching, the Throne of Grace and supplication. Therefore, I, Grover Cleve Irnd. President of the United States, do hereby and designate and set apart Thursday, the Twenty-sixth Day of the present mouth of November, to be kept and observed as a day of thanks giving and prayer throughout our land. On that day let all our people forgo their usual work and occu pation and, assembled in their accustomed places of worship, let them with one accord render thanks to the Ruler ol the Uni verse for our preservation as a A. nation and our deliverance from every threatened danger; for the peace that has dwelt within our boundaries: for our defense against disease and pestilence during the year that has passed; for the plenteous rewards that have followed the labor of our husbandmen, and for all the other blessings that have been vouchsafed to us. And let us, through the medi tation of Him who has taught us how to pray,Jmplore the for giveness of our sins and a contin uation of heavenly favor. Let us not forget on this day of thanksgiving the poor and needy, and by deeds of charity let our offerings of praise be made more acceptable in the sight of the Lord. Witness.my hand and the seal of the United States which I have caused to be hereto affixed. Done at the City of Washing ton, in this Fourth Day of No vember, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand, Eiht Hundred and Ninety-six and of the Inde pendence of the United States of America, the One Hundred and Twenty-first.

Truthful advertising is often read with as much interest, as anything else in the paper. It is the best means of reaching the people and letting them know what you have to sell it cost lots of niouy to do this and, the merchant who writes a ereat flaming advertisement, that peo ple know is not the truth, is simply wasting his money. It does not take people long to find out those stores that advertise so cheap but, when you go there to buy, they tell you, "they have just sold out" the article you saw advertised or, will have it in shortly. It is not so much what their advertisement say, as what they do. Claiming to sell cheap er does not count much with the people' unless it is backed upby facts. We believe in advertis ing but, we believe in telling the people just exactly what we have, and exactly what they can ex pecttruth will tell. We often hear customers say, I come here because, I find what I have seen advertised. You may con, tinue to come, and you shall not be dissapoiuted. When we get a good thing we tell it Listen ! A manufacturer in New York, for some cause lias shipped us a big lot of Ladies Jackets and Capes to sell for them they are not our goods. Tiieres a bir story behind these goods but, that matters nothing to you they are here and we are o-oincri to sell them. If we sell them for several dollars less than their worth, it is noioss of ours. Here's a chance for you to see the difference between this store and some others.that perhaps yoxf ! have been dealing with. " Think of an all wool black Beaver, dcuble cape, nicely trim med being sold at Si .48, its here. Capes, in all the" new styles ofa cloth at $2.50 to 3.50 that you can not buy from other, stores at double our price. It's a ple.-sure to all the clerks to show these garments come look ! v.. tj:t.i vui vaults jacKeis at 5.00 puts everlady thinking. You may compare them with any in the town at $S.oo. It's not often we have things our own way but. sometimes large cloak man-! ufacturers get hard -up you know, and that's the secret The assortment is large, still theirs a choice you had better come early.
