A CHRISTMAS OFFER AT WATCHORN, STILES & CO

In our advertising columns will be seen a very tempting offer for a few days only. This firm at the beginning of the season opened up a very large shipment of Summer Dress Goods, and, although good sales have been made, still a very large stock remains to be sold. The whole of the above goods are now being displayed and will be cleared quite regardless of usual prices. The balance of their Trimmed Millinery will also be slaughtered, so that now is the time to get New Season’s Goods at Sale Prices. *

Mrs Pennord, a wealthy woman farmer, of Louisiana, has just had her tomb built. In the lid of the coffin are several air-holes, and a telephone is placed near the headrest, and is connected with the house ot the cemetery keeper. Thus the fear of being buried alive is reduced to a minimum.
