TALES OF all Selli ga_ottmeril_rik,t-lotigkill uggigrgagkyagi ,, i Human nature is very much human nature all the world over, and that which you see in others stands a good chance of beinabtrue of yourself, You like to think you are getting good value, just as we like to think that we are selling good value. Our idea, then, is to convey to you that we are sell- ing the best values obtainable in Furs, Clothing, Hats, Caps, etc. In Ladies' Tailoring Cloths, we ask 85c for an all.. wool, double fold, black frieze, the width of this frieze is 58 inches -,--see it. Another special is our $1 a yard homespun. It is worth three time the value of the ordinary goods "sold as homespun at awl figures as 69e and 79c. It's worth seeing this $1 homespur of ours. Ladies' tailor made costumes made here are made sure to fit; care, taste, beautiful materials and experienced work- men combine to, make our -work above the average. It costs you little more than a readynaade, and then'it spits and looks a great deal better. Ladies'_ Furs, --Such a thing as a detailed description of the stock we carry of ladies: fine furs, is impossible. You simply should. see our stock before buying—it will pay you. Men's Clothing. • Every day pants, and the buckskin also, selling at $1 a pair. The heaviest weight of cloth we ever sold in a rain- coat, and the price is $5. Rubber lined smocks at $1,50, $2 and $2.90. The celebrated mud coat at P. "Our own make," the symbol of honest work and. good ]paterials—our own make of men's suits at $8 and $10. A blue worsted suit that is attracting inany buyers, is the $5450 suit. Men's wool underwear, a splendid. value in all wool at $1.50 a suit. Men's Furs. There is no fur coat equal 'to a good coon. We show' a beauty at $40 cash. The calf coat is now known to be the best fur coat for knockabout use; our prices on the various grades are $18.50, $20 and $25. The various cheaper coats -- wallaby and Australian. coon—at $12 and $15, do nicely for a hack coat, and nearly as cheap as a cloth coat. Our men's tailoring department is a busy one at present. The goods that attract buyers are the $16.50 Irish serge, the West of England worsted at $18 and. $20, the Scotch cheviots at $16.50, $18 and $20, according to the weight and weave of the cloth. • Your boys, what about their suits ? We are in a', position to give you splendid wearing suits at $3, $4 and $5 rfor the boys wearing the three piece suits, while for the little chaps there are big values at $1.50, $2, $2.50 'and -1$3. We mention. again our big value in boy' long stockings, doubled all the way through, at 35c, boys' weaters at 500 and 75c, all wool; boys' mitts. at 25c and 350; boys' school pants at 25c, 350, 50o, 65c and 75c—these are our own make boys' underwear at 25c, 350 and 50c; boys' school hats at 10e; men's thrSstaing hats at 50e, 75e and $1. Sweaters are a big line with us, and we give very com- fortable sweaters at 750 and $1 for men. Some interesting values in men's sox are finding a ready sale. A union wool and cotton wearing sock, two pairs for 25o; a medium weight grey wool and dark grey sock sells at 20o; a heavy weight wool sock, t� sell at 25c, seems to impress many as very good value. We are asking ,50c for , a sock that is home knit, and the yarn is home spun. What we consider the best value in a black Cashmere sock in the market, sells for 25c. We will not ask you to read any more about prices. In ending our weekly talk, we lay claim to your trade on the grounds of doing business fairly. We offer for sale honest goods. NS, hen you leave the deciding with us, you never fail to get good value. We cheerfully refund naoney where goods are not satisfactory, or when we ha- not the thing you want. We sell for cash for the most part, but do not refuse credit to a good mai. • THE BRUSSELS SHOW.1 I The annual show of the East Huron' and Grey Branch Agrioulturel Societies ware held in Brussels, on the commodious grounds of the latter society, on Thnrsday and Friday of last week. Our Brussels friends did not strike as favorable weather this year as they might have done had they been on. better terms with the weather clerk. However, the fault was not their". They had done their part by offering a splendid prize list and providing an excellent programme of special attraction., and, had the weather been favorable, there would have. been one of the largest and best ahows held in the county this season' , while the crowd of visi- tors would have overwhelmed the neat lit- tle town. The weather the firet day was cold, wet, and in every way disagreeable. Yet, notwithstanding this fact, there was a splendid *how in the hall, nearly every de- partment being well filled, and several in which there was an exceptional display and the strongest competition. In fact, there has never been a better inside ehow at Brus- sels, and the exhibitoreare deserving of the highest credit for coming out on so disagree- able a day. The second day was an improve- • ment on the first in • point of weathero al- though it was not favorable, the morning being wet and the day cold. However, des- •pito this drawback, there wae a good show and a large crowd of people, the gate re- ceipts amounting to about $375, with the entrance fee at 10 and 15 cents. As will be seen by the prize list, the several classes were well filled, but perhaps the largest show was in cattle, the fine herds of Messrs. D. Milne, Peter Robertson, R. Corley, and other well •known and successful breeders, being well represented. In no department of agriculture has the northern part of the county made more marked improvement within the paet ten years than in cattle. Owing to the unfavorable weather and the wet condition of the driving track, the speeding contests had to be declared off. This oacasioned some disappointment, but, by the time the judges completed their work with the other exhibits, moat of those on the grotind were cold enough to desire to get to warmer quarters. Considering the moat un- favorable circumstances, the show was a suc- cess in every respeot, and the directors May well congratulate themselves that they got over ad dangerous a spot so successfully. In the evening there was an entertainment under the auspices of the society. This proved a popular wind up to the day's pro. oeedings. The hall was crowded by a most appreciative audience, and the coffers of the s,ociety would be considerably enlarged by the proceeds of the entertainment. The fol. lowing is a list of the successful competitors: HORSES. — Heavy Draught. — Stallion over three years, Thee McLaughlin lot and 2nd. Stallion under 3 years, George Dale.

Fat Canada? — The Duke of York, who spent two days duck shooting near Poplar Point, Maaitoba, in company with the Governor General and other" el the party, is said to be an excellent shot. As an evidence of his skill it is said he bagged 62 ducks out of 200. —A wealthy Canadian named John N. Murphy, and hailing from Toronto, while visiting New York this week, engaged a cabman to take him around to see the sights. While thus engaged he had his purse, con- taining $2,555 stolen. He is that much poorer and should be a good deal wiser. — George Nesbett, a well known man of St. aitherines, drepped dead on the street while returning from work Saturday even- ing. Heart failure is supposed to have oaneed death. He was a native of Ireland, 51 years of age and leaves one son and three daughters. —Mrs. George Symonds and daughter, from Williamstown, Glengarry county, were run into by a train at Leneaster crossing on Saturday last and were instantly killed. The mother was ,terribly mangled.
