Prices Right, Persons acquainted with the work of Prof. S. O. Smith will testify to the fact that he is a scholar of more than ordinary ability. As a teacher he ranks with the best; as a musio writer he shows scholarship, depth and puritv; as a chorus director he has few equals if any superiors; as an Institute Instructor for County Teachers' Institutes he is a nost. Prof. 8. Q. Smith needs but one introduction to make him a general favorite. He deserves the beat of patronage. Respectfully, Fkank S. Fox, Columbus, O. To all Interested in good music: I take pleasure in saying that after a long and intimate acquaintance with Prof. S. Q. Smith that be is a genuine gentleman and a composer and director of unusual inspiration and ability. Prof. Smith's music is deservedly popular, but in himself, beforo a Teachers' Institute or Choral Society, he is a host. I snail always wish him the most abundant success. John B. DeMottk, Bryn Mawr, Pa. Michigan State Normal School, Ypsilanti, Mich. I have had the ploasure recently to spend a week in a Teachers' Institute whose music for both day and evening was in charge of Prof. S. G. Smith, of the Capitol School of Music. Mr. Smith's work was admirably done. He is himself a musician of ability and skill, is effective as a teacher, handles an audionce in a pleiising way and is a moat agreeable man to work with. Respectfully, Richard G. Boonk, Principal. State Normal School, East Stroudsburg, Pa. To whom it may concern: Prof. S. G. Smith, of Columbus, Ohio, is to my mind one of the best and most successful directors of music in an Institute I have nad the pleasure of hearing. He is a superior loader, a tine musician and a composer of considerable note. He nas the happy faculty of getting the teachers to sing, and his entertaining manner soon wins the hearty co-operation of every member of the Institute. His instruction is very practical, and the teachers are free to express themselves as being better pleased with Mr. Smith's work in music than what they usually get at an Institute.

Smith conducted the music, and a thousand voices joined in the N ational Anthem, "Our Country, etc." Prof. Smith plays in the most di ill cult role of the play. He must draw from his |auditors reluctant notes; these must be properly RItched, modulated and measured. A delinquent note or one that rushes in ahead of s fellows is counted against the Instructor, the offender goes unpunished. Prof. Smith Is one of the best Instructors In the country. An adept in the art of music. His voice is pleasing and he stands in with the class at first and then gets his pupils to stand in with mm. He has done the hardest work of any institute instructor. He has been here before and we have suoh abiding faith in onr County Superintendent's good judgment that we expect Prof. Smith back again.—Qreensburg Press. Close of Greensburg, Pa., Institute.

It is prettier than Bilk because it makes up to wear better, and as far as we know we are the only store that sells it at 26c. The best shades are blues, tansies, pinks. Then we have those that have more life than a plain single color. McCALL PATTERNS - 10 and 15a " Magazines 60c a year. The only fault I have to llnd with our new ginghams is that they are too pretty. Come in sometime. Look around, get a free fashion sheet, make yourself at home and as you go out U can't help but notice tho ginghams we are selling at 8 cents, in oxnlood, blues, stripes. They look like silk and U say they are silk. Remember that tho first goods of the season are no longer the best goods of the season. That is the truth iu regard to wash goods. We are constantly improving, adding new goods to our stock each week, instead of buying all our wash goods in the early part of the season. The manufacturer no sooner puts goods on the market than he realizes that it might have beon improved. He sees the newest things from Paris and his own products on the street. He gets new ideas and proceeds at once to put them in operation in newer productions.Fine Ginghams. ONC, P. P. & iY &l|oe / MEM^/ WW, ■■ -* - -■< - -5
