HOLIDAYS.—Labor Day (Monday) ;passed off without any special demon- stration this year•,everybody observing and enjoying it according to their ow n 'inclinations, although the rain in the ,Morning slightly interfered with pro- posed picnics, etc. There are only two +,more regular holidays this year ; these are Thanksgiving Day, the time of Which is not yet set, and Christmas -Day. GIibeat' A sale truest sense of the word. Ladies' and Children's plain and ribbed Cashmere Hose at at least one-quarter less than the regular prices. An opportunity that ready cash to buy with and a big outlet brings, one that comes even then only once in a Breae. A short time ago a manufacturer's agent offered us several lines of Ladies' and Children's Cashmere Hosiery that had been sent out by the maker and for some reason not delivered. We got them at practically our own price. The quantity is greater than we could sell in the or- dinary course of business, so we are going to make extraor- dinary Hosiery business for a couple of weeks, by making extraol dinary prices on Hosiery.

LARGE SI-uiPMENT.—The largest ship- ment of live hogs ever made here took place on Tuesday, when four car loads were taken from the farmers' wagons, and then on to the cats. The shipment represented over six hundred hogs,and white loading was going on the gather- ing of farmers' teams was so great at ,the -yard as to interfere with the ordin- ary traffic. Cantelon & Wallis and El- liott & Mitchell were the shippers.
