Here was a sight to be seen—the whole
store on all sides was elaborately dec-
orated for the occasion and as the
many visitors passed through they
would stand in awe and .amazement
viewing the grand exuberant display
of the thousand and one articles there
in. After passing through the main
store we were led to the millinery de-
partment where our eyes were particu-
larly struck with a sight commanding
admiration, Miss Robertson has charge
of this department and had prepared
an exceedingly laige and artistic dis-
play of millinery second to none in any

The Crediton Club scoffed at the idea

to them metality. The Sodom Club
took the sated that 10 consequence of
the repully hocreasing county wards,
or convey poor, that 11 was in the in-
terestmf the ratepayers of the County
of H iron to adopt some better plan of .
caring for the poor and destitute of
the country, some plan' that has been
ttiecl and approved of, and as the
'houses of industry have given such
general satisfaction, that the time had
arrived, that a start be made in that ,
direction, uot oely in the interests of
morality, humaiiity aud religion. but
in economy; and as morality is the
outcome of Scripture teaching's, which
teachings emphatically point out our
duty Seethe poor, and .a.s.. the Sodom
Club were anxious (aseehe county was
paying large sums in that direction)
to have their efforts to aid the poor as
successful as possible, that. the greatest
nunaber could be benefitted, if that is
what our opponents call preaceing
morality, why we must plead guilty
to the charge. As there appears to be

inmates and the cost for maintainance
in 1891 was $4409.56, averaging, for
each inmate $60.50, or including inter-
est and every expense in connection
with the institution, 72.80. The aver-

the last ten years is $1.10, or $57.20

which covers every expenditure, with
the cost of our county wards, which
cost each $88, difference of $15.20 in
favor of Poor House.
