YOUHS RESPECTFULLY, Our line of imported dress goodsat 5<>e to !> 1.'■£[> per yard are from 15 to 35 cents per yard cheaper than any sample you have had from anywhere. Our all wool domestic dress goods at '£!* to 10 conts. You can find themno where else with such unei|ualed value, Hlankets, flannels and yarns are sold as low as during the panie. Linens, laces and handkerchiefs. The Irish manufacturers agent said as we were selecting the various patterns: "Mi boy theso came from the ould soil before the jintulmon at the White House fexed the price up where you will tind it next time you see me." Hosiery and underwear is in about the same lix. If you don't buy now it must cost more soon. A child's long sleeve vest, winter weight, as low as 5 cents. Indies' coats, capes and collarctts. I almost forgot to mention that the sleeves are not near so large as last year, and we are honest when wo say it takes less cloth to make them. So you sec we can givo you much better goods for the price of your last season's wrap. Our line is beautiful. We have all the sizes. You don't run any risk in giving your order, and wnit-for the goods, but you see what you get and just how it is made, and no extra expense to get it. Carpets, all wool art squares, rugs and oil cloth. Here is where you can see what money invested with tho manufacturer will save you. Not an old pattern in the lot. Prices no higher than in the spring, for we buy them net spot cash. Shoes and rubbers. Here is where it often pinches, but wo buy goods made for I'ennsylvanians, and lasts that arc stylish. No Chinese hides used in our goods to lessen their value. Comfort, wear and low prices rule. To not take any more of your time we desire to say that when you are in need of anything in the line of General Merchandise, we will gladly compare prices and quality. The potato crop is a little below the average, and the price more than twice what it was the corresponding month in 1896. The iron works have started. The mines are all working better than at any time since the big strike a few years ago. All this means more than we are now able to see, but a few facts are apparent. The farmer will have more money and less hours labor, which is certainly greatly to be desired. The laborers and mechanics will find a greater demand for their skill, at prices that will be more renumerative. When these conditions exist everybody feels good. Everybody is cheerful. Everybody will economize. Everybody wants produce and goods of all kinds. We have always paid the highest prices for farm products, with goods of best quality at lowest prices. We will continue to do this just its long as we do business. Nothing is appreciated so much as attractive fresh goods, direct from the manufacturer. Nothing could give me greater pleasure than to say that I have just returned from tin' large eastern cities, where I have been able to buy a line of goods that are better than any we have ever seen in this county. 1 trust you may pardon what might seem like sell' praise, but how can you know the plain facts unless you read them, and then come and investigate, and you will at once see that the truth has been told. Every department in our store is more complete than before. The frosty nights has ripened the buckwheat a little premature, and thus decreased the yield, but increased the price. The recent rains has improved the pasture, and we may now expect a better supply of choice butter, which is bringing higher prices than last year at this time. For those who read! HA S 1 WORD EBERHART All kinds of cheaper goods from $1.25 to $2-00. New Pall suits and overcoats. Underwear anil Furnishing Goods. JT A LI L) Mens' and Boys' .

Charlie Finley ami Thomas Davies, who were tried before 'Squire Wilson, of Punxsutawney, last week, 011 the charge of assault and battery, and robbing of a Finlander named Matt Johnson about five weeks ago, were discharged 011 account of insufticient evidence. [Sail Francisco Post. J Judge Campbell had just heard the evidence against a young mission hoodlum charged with disturbing the peace. "I think you're guilty, young man," declared the Judge. "Funds in the treasury are running low, so I guess I'll have to get in something toward my salary, as I'm getting hard up. I'll fine you $5." "You've got more money than I have," pleaded the prisoner. |"Bet I haven't. Show up what you've got," and the Judge emptied his pockets, which contained just 36 cents in change, on the desk. The prisoner turned all of his pockets wrong side out and produced 25 cents. "You are worse off than I am," said the Judge. "Fine remitted. Youcango." FINE SHOES To get people into the right roa<l and right place. Once there, however, they say "Why didn't I do this before." Well, the right road is Main St., and the right place is at our store.

If you go to Mr. Smith bought a ticket on the Sound steamer and at the same time asked for a stateroom. He was informed that all the rooms were taken. This was discouraging to Smith, but a happy thought struck him. "I asked to have a room saved for me," he said. "Oh, did you?" asked the ticket seller. "What name, please?" "Smith." After examining his memorandum the ticket seller said, "Beg pardon sir; I see there are two rooms held for you, Nos. 41 and 42." "I don't understand that," said the other; "I only wanted one room. I'll take 42 if you please." So he got his room all because his name was South, which shows that it 1* a good thing to have a name that is somewhat common. Smith Hm His Inn ins Also.
