FACTS
About Our Great
Sale of Shoes.
A Shoe Sale with us does'nt mean an offering
of heaps of any old Factory refuse of alluringly
priced "gone by" styles and "used to be" shapes.
We don't conduct our business on that basis. Some-
times conditions enable us to give you our good
Shoes at less than usual prices ; then we have a Sale
—such is the case now. We want to close out our
present stock, as well as the J. Button & Co, stock
which we purchased, and get ready for the spring
trade. We want to convert our Shoes into looney,
even if we have to meet a loss in order to do so.
But we don't buy up job lots or odds and ends simply
to make a great show of "cheapness." We want
you to feel, when you come here, that you'll get
Strictly Up-to=date and
Dependable Shoes
whether you pay full prices for them or whether
you buy them under value, as you can at present.

3 LATEST WAR NEWS
PAP ~WNW1hHNMi�
(Condensed up till Thursday, 25tb,)
Port Arthur is preparing for a long
siege,
It is said that the Czar's mental de-
pression on account of the war amounts
to illness.
The Japanese fleet is preparing to
attack the Russian ships in Vladivo-
stock harbor.
The Japanese have captured four
Russian torpedo boats and sunk or
damaged two more Russian battle-
ships.
Russia admits she was unprepared for
war; she has 800,000 men in the field,
and will sot on the defensive until she is
ready. fi�e�,,�
The Japanese fleet is stili Menet and
has control of the situation. It has not
been necessary to send a single vessel
for repairs,
American officers speak well of the
Japanese soldiers; they are well provid-
ed for on the march. Japan appears to
have lots of money.
The Russian ambassador in England
has gone to St. Petersburg to offer per-
sonally the services of King Edward
as mediator, if the Ozer so desires it.
Seventy miles of railway track and
several bridges have been destroyed
by the Japanese between Harbin and
Vladivostock; this leaves the latter
place in a bad way for supplies.
It 10.11 be well if the war now in pro-
gress is confined to Russia and Japan.
Chinese pirates are annoying ships of
commerce and may commit some ants
that will dead to reprisals. Europe is
excited—Spain is preparing; Germany
practically amines Russia of her
sympathy in the struggle, while on
Saturday, Paris the gay capital of
France was wild with excitement.
Carefully watching the tread of events,
:Britain is on the alert, and preparations
for the worst are in progress. To add
to the threat, the Albanians and Turks
are fighting. Turkey is mobilizing a
large force in Macedonia, and the
Macedouians are getting ready, It
seems as though but a spark was needed
to set the whole of Europe aflame with
War, While China at present is neutral,
a leading ofl3oial says that in one day
she could abandon her neutrality. She
has 80,000 troops ready to daeh into the
conflict, and ae Russia took Menehnria
froth her, China may at any rnomeht
decide to sestet the Japanese and secure
her own territory again.

her departure front .$luevaie. The
class had arranged for a surprise party
and presentation before Miss lIood
should leave for her home at Sunshine
but failing in this on account of bad
weather they were obliged to send it
by mail. The present was a Lady's
Companion, and the address was as
follows ;—
Kind Teacher :—It is with feelings
of the deepest regret that we, the boys
of your former Sunday school class,
send to son this small mark of appre-
elation, both of yourself and ,of the
work you have performed among us.
We feel that it is the severing of ties
that bound us to one who had our
spiritual welfare at heart and who
labored unceasingly (and we. }tope not
vainly) to show us the light and the
truth. During the years you have
labored among us we have found it
not only a source of pleasure to attend
the class, but one of instruction, and
we feel that the good work has not
been lost, and that in after years when
scattered far and near we can look
back to the Sabbaths spent in your
class as ones that have cast a good in.
fluence over our later years. In losing
you as a citizen we are losing one who
has ever held up before us the true
ideal of Christian womanhood, and
whose examples may well be copied
by many. Please then accept this
little present, not on account of its
value, bot as we have said as'a mark
of appreciation from a class of boys
who unite in wishing you many long
and prosperous years in which to
carry on the work you have started
and hope you will be able to say at
the last minute of this life as Paul
said :—"I have fought a good" fight, I
have finished the course, I have kept
the faith, henceforth there is laid up
for me a Crown of Righteousness,"

To All Who Are Undecided
as to whether they shall buy a Fur Coat this winter, or put
it off until next year, we have this advice to offer—"If you
can get good guaranteed new Furs at Cost, buy them at
once," for good Furs have advanced greatly in price since
present stocks were purchased last spring, and are still ad-
vancing rapidly. In view of these facts, it may surprise you
that we are still offering a few superior Furs at actual cosT,
just because we don't wish to carry them over, also because
we need the money now. Winter Ready-to-wear Clothing,
Overcoats and heavy Underwear,, will also be sold at Cost.

SPRING 1
Is there any spring in you? Go it
while you're young. ,Keep it up when
your old. Go it on the A. R. Smith's
cash plan. Keep it up on the go-ahead
bargain style. Charlemagne of France
was emperor when less than 21 years
of age. On the other hand, Glad-
stone made one of his most famous
speeches when over 80 years of ago.
It is thoughts that make you grow
old and thoughts that keep you young.
If you are shoving up in years, keep
your ideas on the sunny side of life
and up -to -the -moment, and with our
bargains sprinkled on your counten-
ance you will actually grow younger
as you grow older. They will help to
bring the "teens" of your youth into
your second century. Act quickly
and get some of new spring, red hot,
rapid selling Clothing, with the best
wishes of A, R. Smith.
Truth crushed to the earth will rise
again. Clothing trade knows the
original, They claim there is nothing
original, excepting original sin, but
pioneer clothing advertising will hold
its own next, and hadlythat privilege
of spreading broadcast through this
land of opportunities, as Emmerson
calls it, the first seeds of the great en-
terprise. There is no growth except
from original planting; real vitality
and expansion must be created, not
initiative. The man who tries to graft
into another tree or plant, never re-
tains a natural growth ; he onlytiasses
for second-hand after all. The Cloth-
ing Trade, together with the world at
large, do not believe.in traders or imi-
tators. I try to be myself and work
out my own glory, and I never try to
steal from others what really belongs
to them. You can bet 10 to 1 that I
am the drat man in Wingham to cir-
cularize in the clothing line and adopt
the cash plan, and furthermore, 1. am
the man to -day that hands out up-to-
date genuine bargains. Try it and ex-
perience the truth, and follow the
crowds to our broad day -light shop
for paralyzing rapid-gun-snp-shote
I like plain talk and plain facts, don't
you. Moet of merchants have three
hands --right hand, left hand and a
little behind hand. We've only two
hands•.• -right and left; we're rarely
behind hand. Yon can buy from at
Men's Suits at $3.50. $400, $5.00, $6.00,
$7.00, $8.00, $8.65, $9.00, $10.00, up to
