Every man's property holdings are large enough wheu the snow drift is on the sidewalk. It is so easy for some people to be good thst they cannot conceive of the temptations which make others fall. A good wife is a man's best anchor, but she should remember that it is not the province of the anchor to furnish the motive power for the paddle wheel. A lie is nearly always the offspring of cowardice; occasionally it is the illegitmate child of vanity. It is hard for some men to live up to the standard their friends insist upon setting for them introducing thtm to strsngers. R R Time Table c, st. p., m. a o.

JB have just taken our Inventory and find everything satisfactory. We can notice a steady increase in business from year to year, which is certainly gratifying. For this we thank the people of this community and surround ing country. 'Gradually we are learning the lessons we were taught at our mother's knee: "That in unity there is strength." How would property in Dakota County advance in price if each and every one of us sent our dollars to another state, thus impoverishing our own county and building up some foreign corporation, who does not pay taxes and who does not help support our schools and our churches. The answer invariably would be, with no towns and no Rural Mail Delivery, all farm property would decline. Does not it seem then , to be the side of reason from a financial standpoint to buy from your home merchant, when you are able, nine times out of ten, to buy fully as cheap, after deducting freight. Your home merchant is always anxious to please you, and when you receive anything, from him that is not satisfactory, he is more than anxious to exchange with you or give your money back, without expense to you. We wish to state at this time that during the present year no effort will be spared in our endeavor to meet all competition. Owning our building, buying goods in large quantities and paying Cash, puts us in a position to sell goods at the Very lowest COSt. In this connection we wish to offer you a special cut dn all out and also to apprise you of the fact that our Spring Wash Goods have commenced to arrive I CONSISTING OF Toiles, Seersuckers, English Cambrics, Galateas, Linen Bordure, Chambras, Etc., Etc.
