Some do, some don't! The majority do, the minority don't, Tho largobrained level-headed folks do, the others don't I Those who study their best interests do; those who neglect them don't, Of course there will always be a minority win persistently avoid doing tho right and of course the members of that minority must pay for their backsliding. Thoy backslide with their eyes "open, rho eyil they work upon themselves is continually.; being pointod out to them and yet they continue on their downward caroor. The case in point is a simplo one, a mere matter of £ s. d., of the value of the circulating medium ana whatyou can get for the money you have to spend, Thero is no sontimotit about it, it is of tho earth, earthy, it's bound up in worldlineßs and yei it's a matter of as much importance as half the things that are preached from stump and pulpit and platform from year's end to year's end, Join the majority, make one of the happy throng ever changing, always increasing, who day after day, week after week, and all the year round buy all they want at the Bon' Marche,-Master-ton, it's tho best store in town, out of it or round about it. If you doubt it go and seo th<) proprietors—Hooper & Co., and you will soon be convinced. •
