RAILROAD
NEWS.
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.
