We are very anxions to sell out. and we shall wholesale it or retail it at prices much under values.

good one;
‘ I know a man who us3d to
euss all the time. He would go
home aud cuss everything and ev
erybody. One day he went home
and dinner wasn’t ready.
u ‘Ain’t that damned dinner
ready yet?' he roared at hie wife,
‘‘Poor woman—martyr, too, she
went out into the kitchen and
•oon returned.
“ ‘No, the damned dinner ain’t
ready, ’she said, ‘the fire’s gone to
hell and damnation is to pay.’
“The man was dumfounded; but
it cured him. and he ain't cussed
* cuss since.”
Try it, ladies. It may break
your old man from cussing.
