J. C, GILROY,
Pay $ Wiseman's Old Stand
This will be a "Snap" bar-
gain week. We like the
word —a Shakesperian word,
good, clear -tilled English.
We use it because it applies
well to our trade. "Snap"—
quick, bright, lively, ener-
getic, enthusiastic.
Snap in Shirtings, Snap in
Grey Cottons, Snap in Tick-
ings, Snap in Bleached Cot-
tons, Snap in Towelings,
Snap in Cottonades, Snap
in everything. If you want
perfect examples of it come
here to -day or tor that mat-
ter this week.
Like the crack of the whip
or the flip of the thumb and
finger business keeps keen
and active. The people con-
tinue coming after bargains.
That's endorsement of the
best kind. We ask for noth-
ing more.
From this we go straight
to the Dress Goods and talk
to you about the "Snaps"
that are found there. Noth-
ing can be more to your
mind with the thermometer
on a steady run up. We've
got the goods that'll please.
If not, some other explana-
tion must needs be given for
the scores of shoppers who
drift without effort to our
Dress Goods counters. The
stuffs are here—bright, new,
fashionable goods, and noth-
ing that'll not carry these
qualities with thein. Noth-
ing'undesirable to work off
under cover of bargains. At
the same time the prices are
as yon know—this store's
prices ; no ways relating to
the ordinary prices going.
Henrietta Serge, all -wool
stuffs and yet light -weight
and seasonable. Yes, make
up handsomely in summer
dress. Nothing like the
double ;width Dress Stuffs
at 28c. ever seen before.
- Is the wedding -day fixed ?
May, or perhaps June, an
ever -popular month. Noth-
ing more becoming to you
than to get your outfit at
this .store.

Much regret is felt among our
citizens and people in the immedi-
ate neighborhood over the departure
of Dr. Wright from our village. It
is somewhere about a year since the
gentleman domiciled himself here
as a medical practitioner, and dur-
ing that time he worked up a prac-
tice and secured the confidence of
the public that would be gratifying
to the most ambitions. Courteous
in manner, liberal and honorable
in his dealings, akilful in his treat-
ment of the ills that flesh are heir
to, he has won for himself an envi-
able reputation, that we hope he
will add still furtlier to in the more
enlarged field he has chosen for
himself. The Doctor has removed
to Seaforth, so that he is neither
"lost nor gone before", but will be
within easy call of ruauy of hie for-
mer patrons. May successesnattend
him.

Dear Bros. and Sisters Scarlett,
It baying pleased an all wise Pro••
videnoe to remove from your home
a loved one by the death of your
mother, we have been directed by
L. 0. L. No. 813. to conyey to your-
selves the sincere and heartfelt
sympathy of every member in -your
sad bereavement. She has been a
very dear friend to us for many yearn,
and one who was highly respected by
all who had the pleasure of her ac-
quaintance. Her presence will be
greatly missed by all in the com'
munity, and we keenly feel the loss
we have to suffer. But during our
brief sojourn here we all most expect
mournful visitations. We have,
however, the blessed satisfaction of
knowing that death cannot enter
that sphere to whic'i the departed are
removed and where farewells are
never spoken and all tears are wiped
away. The only balsam for such
afflictions as yours is that poured in-
to the wounded heart by the Great
Physician. We, therefore, can only
recommend you to the Throne of
Him who is too wise to err and too
loving to be unkind, for our lose is
her gain. Let hope and faith mingle
with your natural sorrow. Look to
that future where the sundered ties
of earth are re -united.
Fraternally Yours
