20 PER CENT OFF! Owing to a decline in cotton we have decided to cut 20 per cent off regular prices on our stock which comprises everything in up-to-date and substantial Merchandise. We dislike to be forced to sacrifice our slock but under the circumstances we believe it is the thing to do, as we must reduce our stock. We have bought by the car load and while business to date has doubled pre¬ vious years, we propose to close out our goods for next 30 days at a reduction that will be worthy of every buyer's attention and patronage. This is done in order to be ready for Spring Goods which have already been bought and will be put on sale January 15th. 1905.

McKay says about what might be done: “What might be done if men were wise, What glorious deeds my suffering friends, Would they unite, In love and right, And cease their sooru of one another. “The meanest wretch that ever trod, The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow, Might stand erect, In-self respect. And share the teeming world tomor¬ row. “What might be done? This might be done, And more than this, my suffering brother, More than the tongue e’er said or sung, If men w r ere wise and loved each other.” Aunt Jane thinks there would be mere work done on the church, if the members loved each other.
