That spring coats are being shown.
That they are beauties and the price
is very moderate.
That spring hats in our store are the
talk of the town; the ladies declare
the price is lower and the hats even
more lovely than anticipated.
That work is being held up temporar
ily on the depot road, pending the
presidential election. Arguments pro
and con as to candidates, issues, etc.,
have taken so much time that it was
tho't best to discontinue the work un
til the matter is settled(so the com
mittee reports.) It is very probable,
however, that meanwhile the Saturday
Afternoon Club will take over the job
and finish it.

"It took 1G0 pounds of my potatoes to
pay for these shoes," remarked the ex

plied his friend. "A very few years
ago I brought in sixteen sacks to buy
the same kind of a shoe."
Watch this space for news regarding

promised "not to tell" for awhile yet.
That we are showing the most classy
