Are here—we are showing some beautiful gar-

them. They are German manufacture, im-
ported by ourselves; you will find them
faultless as regards style and fit, and when
you learn the price you will wonder how they
can be made and sold for the price. Cash
selling has a good deal to do with it.
Already we have sold quite a number;

Mich., (formerly of Hullett) is visiting

Albert Walsh, late of the London
road, now holds a lucrative position
with a firm in the New York stock
exchange. Mrs Jas. Anderson, who
has been poorly for some time, has,
unfortunately, taken a turn for the
worse. Ex -mayor Douglas, of Wood-
stock, and Mr McKay, License Inspect-
or, were here visiting friends this week.
Mr Oliber Johnston refused $150 for a

McEechnie, of Stayner, will be the
milliner for the Dry Good Palace this
season. Mr Farrari' went to Toronto
on Monday morning. Mr Irwin, of
the Blyth Standard, was in town last
Monday, in connection with some in-

Mr Joseph Chambers, late of town, has
withdrawn from the firm of Wyatt,
Son & Chambers, London, and will re-
turn to Toronto for the present. Mrs
J. Tedford and daughter went to Luck -
now on Wednesday; dame rumor states
that her sister will be married in that
village next week. Mrs J. Williams,
who has been spending several weeks
with het son, Rev. A. H. Drumm, at
Avonton, returned to town this week,
KINDLY REMEMBERED.—For a con-
siderable time past Miss Jessie Shep-
herd, daughter of Mr J. L. Shepherd,
of town, has been employed as house-
keeper for Mr John Anderson, of
Hullett. Last week Mr Anderson con-
cluded to get married, thus throwing
Miss Shepherd out of a place, but he
generously remembered her by the
present of a beautiful gold watch and
ehain.
COLLISION.—Monday evening, as Mr
James Stevens, of the base line, was
driving into church, he noticed a rig
coming up Albert street that seemed
to be driven very unsteadily. He Burn-
ed out as far as he could, thinking he
would thus avoid it, 'but the horse ran
straight into his cutter, turning both
him and his horse over into the ditch.
Fortunately no serious results follow-
ed, but the collision was so violent
that he thought at first his horse was
dead.
PROPERTY CHANGE.—The fifty -acre
plot of ground on the London road,
Tuckersmith, just south of Mr Swin-
bank's residence, has been sold to Mr
John Pickett, for the sum of $2500. It
was owned by Mr John Joslin, of Vir-
den, Man. There are no buildings
whatever on the place, and the price is
regarded as a fairly good one, but the
property being so close to town, is
more valuable than it would otherwise
be. Mr Pickett is preparing to build
on it this summer.
SCHOOL MATTERS.—The trustees of
the Public School are considering the
advisability of putting a furnace in the
school, and thus dispensing with the
stoves in each room. It seems to us
that this is something which should be
done at once—it was a mistake that
provision was not made for it when
the school was built. Besides, the
work of carrying up wood is enough
to keep the caretaker busy all day.
Mr J. C. Stevenson, chairman of the
School Board, entertained the mem-
bers at supper on Friday evening last.

TRUMPS
Any person who has ever played cards will understand the
meaning of the term trump. For the benefit of our clients
who do not, we explain that a trump card is one which will
take a trick and thus assist you in counting a point. Now it
is not our desire to teach the art of card playing, rather sim-
ply to inform the public that the possession of trump cards is
success, and the possessor is not afraid to reveal his hand.
The success which has greeted our

CASH vs. CREDIT
There is much being said and done about business. The
question is whether it is better to do a .strictly cash
business, or as usually done, Cash and Credit. Some
are taking the stand for cash or ready pay only. We
are not doing so, as we consider it better not, as there
are times when the best customers have not cash to
pay, as is frequently the case with farmers, as their re
turns come in the fall. We are prepared to furnish
customers with all the goods they may require for
Cash or Credit. We will allow six per cent off for
Cash, as money is worth that percentage in business,
and we are prepared to sell as cheap as any one in -the
trade. We will not be undersold by anyone.
