SELLING- OUT
Owing to the continued depression in
Vie, and to the well-known fact that
there are too many shoe stores now in
$eafortb, and for other reasons, I have
aome to the conclusion that in order to
avoid further loss, it is to my interests
to go out of the business. I have, there -
f , commenced the greatest CLEAR-
ING OUT SALE of the whole of my
immense stock of NEW SPRING
BOOTS AND SHOES, HATS AND
CAPS, TRUNKS AND VALISES
ever known in this part of Canada. I
have bought out Mr. Morrison's grocery
6tsiness, and the Boots and Hats mast
be sold.
Four Thousand Pairs of Boots that
must be sold regardless of profit.
One Thousand New and Stylish Hata
to be slaughtered...
$6,000.
My stock at present amounts to over
Six Thousand Dollars (96,000), andis
quite new ; a large portion have just
lately been opened out. They have
been made by the most reliable mann-
facturers in Canada, viz.

A Reply to "Fair;.ila."
MR. EDITOR, --DEAR Skit +I WhJ(7'ave de-
layed for some time in answer ng "Fair
Play's" letter on Ministers' Sal ties, not
that I looked upon it as sour d hard
to answer, but because i4 is errone-
ous in statement and utterl efective
in argument, that it seethed n ile to at-
tempt to answer it. Indeed, hardly
think anyone will attach Buy import-
ance to it. it certainly !betrays on the
part of the writer ("Fait, Play) either
great ignorance or a deplorable inten-
tion to grossly misrepresent the Presby-
terian Church in several thugs. His
letter is like one of those very untruth-
ful representations which, when a per-
son has heard it, he tarns awa , saying
to himself, surely no :one i foolish
enough to believe that. I clearly see
that the source from which it emanated
is not mach, and I feel as thou h I were
doing wrong in trying to , an,aw r it, not
that I think that I am of so uch im-
portance, but it is so much lie one of
those things in society that s onld be
treated with silent oontemp would
here say, as "Fair Play" th-nks my
"conceptive ability luso lo s to be
unable to -comprehend ,plaid English,"
that if he would use "plain English" in
Betting forth what is true I : hoald have
no difficulty in comprehend •g -hat he
may be able to write on; an gi .d sub-
ject. I suppose that heithi ka _because
I do not agree with him tht alent in
the pulpit is like a co m -real ,com-
modity in the market, ort s• `Winch,
that I must be dull in a pr a sion. I
certainly prefer the vie* an : uthority
sf the Apostle Paul td th': : rroneons
view and weak authority -1(4 do "Fair
Play," as he should be c: `ed on the
subject of the gospel m ' is ry, and
specially on preaching the ; • s el. The
Apostle by no means s ea . s f it as
p
worth so mach in the Mar . et : ocording
to the talent of the mini?ste' . It might
be well for "Fair Play" to.1 st 1 dy the
1st chap. of I. Cur., that 'b ight be
enabled to hold sound 'vie 1 a on this
subject.
The reason that th "reSbyterian
Church has so many conir: ;at
And quite a large quantity of ;our own
make, which is always acknowledged' to
be first-class.
Times are hard and money scarce,
and I know goods must be sold veryi
cheap to clear them out. . 1
Look out for our list of prices ; i
will make the poor man smile.
Mr. Morrison's stook of Groceries
will be sold very cheap. -I hope all his
old customers will continue dealing at
the oldstand, where every effort will be
made tojgive satisfaction.

securing it. He also sei:m. to be afraid
of, and grieved at the gine ono attitude
of our wealthier coup':g. tiolis As it
woald appear to hint, t is church has
too much brotherly' to : : mid progres-
