A WORD TO THE 8UFFRAGI8T8. TJio Journal wishes to mildly yot firmly , Inform the advocatoe of fo jnal( suffrage that lb Ib not ongagod la lighting tholr causo.

'It must bo rounded up for that width so that It Ib nt least a foot hlalior In tho contor than on the side so that tho rain will go off. That kind of n, driveway will stand lit this ollmute. but It will not stand heavy tmnlu with narrowtlred Yehlole. TREET8 SIXTY TO EIGHTY FEET WIDE CANNOT BE CON STRUCTED OF RIVER GRAVEL, SCREENED OR UNSCREENED, THAT WILL NOT TURN INTO MUD. - VHY GILBERT BROS. DANK DEPOSITORS DESERVE LIBERAL TREATMENT.

Read Ail the cash received at ok stote on purchases dating some one day of the week commencing Saturday, Feb. 6 will be refunded to the purchasers without recourse or further consideration. On Saturday, Feb. 1 3 we will announce in this paper that all persons who bought goods at our store on a certain day of the previous week can come in and have their cash returned to them and keep the goods too. This will simply be a matter of giving, our patrons a chance to se cure a fine suit or overcoat or anything in our store absolutely for nothing. Of course we cannot announce in advance what day's sales will be refunded, or we would be imposed upon, bat after the week's business is over we will select a cer tain day's cash sales and make our patrons a present of it outright. Whether you have bought on that day a 5c collar button or a $25 suit you get your cash returned to you. Keep your duplicate purchase slip, which will entitle you to your entire cash returned to you.

A motion haa been fllwl asking tho rocolvor to resign and to havo ono appointed who would push the collections In tho Interest of tho orodlt ore, and who would not have to hlro all the outsldo work to be dono by somo ono olse. Ah The Journal has already shown, the courts havo decided against largo claim for attorney fees. It Is stated on good authority that Font. Knlsor and Slater have rendorgd nbout a thousand dollars' worth of leant service free In the Interest of the creditors. Mr. Ilrown resigned as attorney nnd Mr. Ulnahnm hns only appear ed ne a friend of the receiver. Now It Is not neeumed that nil these entlemon are not honestly doing what they believe to be right In the matter. ALL THAT HAS DEEN HERE STATED IS TO SET THE MATTER IN ITS TRUE LIGHT BEFORE THE PUBLIC AND TO RENEW THE PROPOSITION THAT MR. BUSH COULD SETTLE THE WHOLE MATTER VERY NICELY BY SIMPLY PAYING THE DEPOSITORS IN FULL. AND THEN KEEP ALL HIS COLLATERALS AND TAKE OVER THE ASSETS IN THE HANDS OF THE RECEIVER.
