Hicks' Forecasts For October, A Regular Storm Period covers the last five days of the month. Falling barometer and change to warmer will appear in the west early in this period, storm areas will .develop in the same regions, and during the 28 to 31, wide stretches of cloudiness, rain and snow will pass across the whole country from west to east. The culmination of these storms will probably center on the 31, on or before which date an early cold wave, with decided dashes of aut- umnal snow and gales, will be well on their sweep from the northwest. et4-1-144+4le+ +++++o'd'd'+4r4'4c4+Y Suitings sand Panting Reduced in Price, 44 44 44 44 4' 44 We have reduced a large number of first-class suitiogs and pantings in price and for the next month will offer you Snits reduced from $18 to $15 " " " $17 to $14 " $16 to $13.50 " $15 to $12.50 " $6 to $5 " $ to $4 " $4.50to$3.75 " $4.00 to $3.00 o—b This Libre We Will Clear at Once.
