A COMPETENT AND POPULAR JUDGE. —We notice by the Algoma Pioneer of last week that the Dominion voters list courts for Eastern Algoma have been completed and the Pioneer thus re- fers to the work of Fred. W. Johnston, a former popular resident of Huron:— "If we may accept the silence of our Grit contemporaries in the District as a criterion, Judge Johnston has per- formed a very difficult duty to the satisfaction of everybody concerned, an -i even the opponents of the Franch- ise Act are content with his adminis- tration of the law. The work of re- vision entailed a jour ney of about one thousand miles, by rail and open stages over frozen lakes through iso- lated sections of country. With the exception of a cold and sore throat .Judge .Johnston escaped any great. dis- comfort - such as breaking through the ice, driving into air holes, or break downs --and speaks very highly of the efforts uncle for his comfort wherever duty made it necessary to stay. Ile has extended his knowledge of the Dis- trict, and can appreciate some of the hardships endured by the settlors when travelling hundreds of smiles in an open sleigh or on snow -shoes." THE CHARITY CONCERT. —The W. C T. U. must feel gratified at the splendid success attet.dingtheir efforts.

People are all complaining of hard times, which is true enough, and as a natural con sequence they want to be careful bow they lay out their money. But yet they must be clothed ani what I want to tell the many families who read this paper is that I am offering special iuducements to compere with the hard times and if you will ouly call and see what we have got you will be convinced that this is your place for Fine Ordered Clothing and for two weeks more will continue to sell READY MADE CLOTHING at Cost Price. ---CALL AND EXAMINE.

Mare, • the Great Bulk of our ready -for -use Clothing is made up. . Among the many lines being made this year to our minis the^ most interesting one, both as regards to style and quarlity of the material, is a line of Men's Suits to sell at $12. This suit, in view of the rigid economy that most of us have to practice at present, will, we *eel confident, be sold very readily this spring, fur in point of fit, make and fabric it is equal in every •.:' way to many suits sold to order at X18 and over. , syr Now this is no miracle ! We have worked by any means, but simply the result of being able to purchase goods at a season 4 . when the majority of merchants did not and could not buy any, and further, purchasing imported Cloths at exactly $1.55 less than the same material cost one year ago. This will explain as many already have ascertained the almost incredible drop in prices that seems to have reached almost every branch of mercantile life. As happy is the merchant who finds his stock in such a state as to be able to take advantage of the snaps in cloth now to be offered. This we have fortunately been able to do with the result in a word that The $7 Suits. The $1.0 The $3 Pants. The $2 LG will be made of such a quality of material as never heretofore had been dreamed of in the manufacture of our ready mades; it w 11 pay everyman who is seeking reliable goods at low prices to first see what we offer and we confidently predict to his and our satisfaction. , r JACKSON BRn,The Noted Clotli- r ing People of the West. pnlTICaLIECCUOvg 1=2m111= From the Alps Asen,To Clintr n We are just patriotic enough to use and want to use a "ery- thing we possibly can of the products of our own • . ntry. Our Cottons, Shirtings, Sheetings, Cottonades, Flan s, are all the product of Canadian looms, but there are a few old world industries that do not ftourish here ; one of these is the art of embroidery. To do that successfully one 'est be a Swiss, and live in Switzerland. That's w ere thfinest and best Embroideries come from. Our new ones came last week, and in every way, design, quality, value, they are far and away better than ever before. You may or you may not be thinking of buying Embroideries now, in either case we shall be glad to have you see these— they're here for you to look at 11; inch Fine Cambric Embroidery 3c ll inch Fine Cambric Embroidery 4C 11 inch Carnhric Embroidery, very fine work 5C 2i inch Muslin Embroidery .tie 21i inch Muslin Embroidery IOC 2 inch Muslin Embroidery 6e 4i inch Muslin Embroidery tine work 16c Very fine Cambric Edges 7c Very fine Muslin Embroidery, New Edge 20c Eine Muslin Embroidery . 17c Insertion to Match 16c }3i inch Muslin Embroidery.. 12Ie These are but a few sample prices. 1 Nothwithstanding the extremely low prices we often quote the quality will invariably be found good .
