Now is the time to get out your sav ings and invest them to good advantage. While a Dollar in our house is not any bigger in size than any where else, it looks so because it will buy so much more. This is not a sale of old goods carried over from year to year, for at the cbmmencement of the year our ... stock was extremely low, and this has allowed us to be liberal buyers. This is strictly a sale of Fresh, Choice and . ' " . . ? . ' ... ' ' . . :."; Bought as Low as Cash will Purchase, and How Offered a Prices. We are not dissatisfied with our goods; they are all right, for our business during the present year has been extremely satisfactory, beyond any sanguine an ticipations we might have formed at its commencement. - We therefore owe some thing to our friends and customers, and will endeavor to show our appreciation of their kindness by giving them-an opportunity of selecting from our stock,'goods at away below regular prices. As every article in the house will be marked down it will be impossible for us to be ready until Wednesday. To; avoid confusion, goods will be sold at regular prices until then. - . '.' ' Of course, if you haven't a cent in the world, . these " reduced prices will be of little service to you.' Or if you have so much money that you don't know how to spend it, then reductions are not an inducement. -But if you are like the ma jority of people, with just a little money and inclined to make it go as far as pos- ' sible, then our figures are interesting. We want! in this sale . to see how much more we can make a Dollar buy than it used to. . ' r , , .; . ' ; . .. of S S1I0. Stfietl All Goods Marked ill Plain Figures.

The Christmas number of Town Topics reaches us in particularly attrac tive guise, its handsome colored cover attracting the eye as readily as the ex cellence of the contents appeals to the mind of the reader. . In its 48 pages of choicest reading matter are. to be found stories and poems, tragic, sentimental and humorous, by the contemporary authors, including Bret Harte, Walter Besant, Bliss Carman, etc., etc., as well as a 'series of ably-prepared reviews of the doings of the year 1894 in the realms of society, music, the drama, literature and the fine arts. There is also a goodly collection of the bright verses and witti cisms -that have earned the paper its high reputation, most. of the latter being turned on the customs and traditions of the time. One may safely say that a glance through the pages of this number will be certain to add to one's enjoyment of the holiday period of mirth and re joicing. .

The prisoner retained his won derful nerve to the last. There was just a shadow of moisture in his eyes, but he said, in a firm voice, "I do not know of anything I can say. It is evident that a job -has been put up to convict me, and I shall have to take such medicine as yoa give . me." Judge Bradshaw de livered a brief.'but sensible and pathetic lecture to him, and then sentenced nim to four years in the penitentiary. He wilLnot be taken below for a little while, perhaps not until the appeal is heard from. Frank Klein was then sentenced to eighteen months in the penitentiary.
