At the commencement of a New Year we desire to state
that we have just closed a most successful year, consider-
ing the many drawbacks that have been experienced by
the business world. Bad weather, fililure of crops to a
certain extent, and a stringency in money atfitirs, all com-
bined to make platters not so desirable as could be wish-
ed for, but from all appearances we are now on the eve
of better times' and by this titne next year we. hope to see
everybody a great deal better off.
:flee history of our country shows .that periods of depres-
Si011 and good times Coale to us i'egalill'fy and the time
has now arrived for a period of good times, which we
hope will arrive on time. But to. business :—A good

prices are cut. Come and see us and we will show you

T II E BET TER BEATEN.
A good story is told of an actor
who recently paid a visit to Cohoes.
He hail but $3 to reach home, and
the thought struck him if he could
get some one to bet With him he
might attain the desired aniouut.
Ile eutored a saloon kept by an
Irishman, told him his plight, say-
ing lie wanted t0 )]lake a bet.
":1,'1-ieht," said the bartender,
who had just purchased a ham, "I'll
but you $1.50 you t;an't carry this
hate 11040ss the street and u.;ck with-
out laying it dowu."
The bet was promptly accepted,.
and the actor seized the ham by the
string, walked across the street and
back and laid the ham on the floor.
"You've lost,'' said the Irishman.
"You laid it down. But here
comes a friend of mine and yon can
got even."
The friend readily bit at the bait.
He seized the ham, walked acroas
the street and back, and hung the
ham on the hook, thus winning the
stakes. It is not known whether the
actor has reached his destination
yet.
-Mr. James Page of Stephen
township, near °rand Band, bas
sold his 100 acre farm to Mr. Chas.
Morrish of the same township for the
sum of $4,200.
-Mr. Wm. Isbister, of Morris, has
purchased the 50 acre farm of Mr.
Jas. McGee, which adjoina his own,
for $2,550. Mr. Isbister has now two
hundred acres of excellently located
and well tilled land.
