Just now some of the goods are eommencmg to make their appearance be cases of different sizes. We will have lots of than this season—our stock is generally pretty full but "BIDE A WEE" and. you may look through the door and, see counters, shelves and stands literally groaning (as the tea meetings say) with their large display. Dull times will not daunt us•—the goods will be here, and we hope—the custom ers. tY ■ ZbIC+Cie has been made in The Mantle Stock AT Tie Perhaps there's nothing unusual in this circumstance, for in one way or another we're constantly making some happy move favorable to the buyer. v uidea h h 1 But we've nthat the Mantle e Ilit is of peculiar interest to a large num- ber of buyers at the present time. The hit consists in part in the very large assortment of Mantles to be found in this store. Another hit is the beauty and freshness of our new stock of man- tles. Beaaty, yes BEAUTY. for no crouse in the trade can produce or show more perfect fitting or better appear- ing coats. WE LEAD, bear this fact in mind. What is newest you find with us. We never saw such wonder- ful value in mantles.- Come and give us your opinion. $5.00 buys from us a Jacket worth at least $7.00. $6.00 buys from us a Jacket that would be cheap at $8.00. $8.50 is what we ask for a regular $10,50 mantle. Some very special lines in mantle and ulster cloths and sealettes. Some say that sealettes are too expensive. We don't know the depth of your purse but if you can stand $6.00 a yard, we will sell you a silk sealette that will knock the wind clear out of any 88.50 sealette in the trade. We make seal ette coats to order, guarantee fit, guar antee trimmings, what more? We will give you more value for your money than you ever got in mantles before. Try us. J. A. Jtewawart.

Two eases of new mantles just to hand, • It is a singular fact that the cheap- rress of an article should even tempor- arily retard its sale, and yet that was the experience of Messrs. Tuckett & Son in the introduction of their new famous "Myrtle Navy" tobacco. Peo- ple tvho had been in the habit of smok- ing the finest Virginia tobacco, could not for a time be made to believe that they were offered the same article at about one half the old price, and it was only by slow degrees that they were induced to put the question to the test ,if an actual ;Tial. When they did adopt that test, however, it never fail- ed to satisfy thein. Says the Luckuow Sentinel: The po- tato rot is causing great anxiety in Huron and :many partsof Bruce county. Che fanners say the drop is the largest 'hey have had for years, but in some instances the rot is so bad that they .would not take trouble to raise them 'let plough them in.
