We have been'reliably in formed that the railroad will reach ICnterprise not later than Docem'ier of the present year. With the advent of the road the necessity of carrying a large purpJus in certain lines of merchandise will have been removed. In anticipation of this we have inaugurated a clearance Bale and have reduced prices on every article in the store, many of which we are selling below actual coBt. In making this substantial cut in prices we have a double purpose in view, viz: 1st a reduction of a sur plus in certain lines, 2nd -to ret money to meet our maturing obligations which ate usually large at this time of year with mer chants doing a credit busi ness. We will therefore continuo to sell FOR GASH at the cut prices which we have been selling unil such a time when our stock shall lie snfliciently reduced in those lines in which a reduc tion in demanded by chang ing conditions. You can save 25 per cent by buying of us. Ask those who have been taking ad vantage of these sales, or what is better come to our store, examine our goods, get our prices and be convinced. R. S. & Z.
