NOV. 25 Northern Mercantile Company Ltd. The Further Adventures o! Mrs.'Plumpit Per Kins on Her Trip to Newport. (By One of the Other Darned Phules.) Say ! -Mr. Kditur, I neerly dighed a laffin. Col. Blueberry Sourmash is so dern mad at whut he kawls mi unwar ranted attax on the kownti ophishullz that he sais he's gunter stop his paper, and mi neckst navbur, Getthare Bow docks, is tickled, and 'lows if he dident have to have all his money fer terbacker and siclv he would subskribe fer The Miner fer 3 months sure. Walz Whare I left off Miss Plumpit Perkins had got to a terribul sidelin plais in the rode and smashed both hind wheals: of her waggun. She was sum diskurridged at this, but ever as a beakin star in all her trubbelz she" re membered the tacked that she wuz goin' tow Nuport. So she got out her acks once mowr and went to the woods fer two red fur poals. She brot them and lade one on each side of the waggun, when round the bend in the rode behind her kame two bosses and a buggie with two men on the seat. One of them wuz a middle-aged man with a cast in one eye and a raw smellin' cigar. The uther wuz jest a plain everyday drunk who wuz drivin' fer the uther man whose mind wuz so taken up with bizness that lie kouldent drive fer his own self. When they sean the" perdickament that Miss Perkins wuz in the yung man stopped his teem and the uther man hollers out: "Whudjewmeen, maddum, by obstrucktin' the kownti rode. We're in a norful hurry, fer we are after the vaiidul whitch took down the notiss whitch wuz put upcondemmingthe brig back yarnder." Miss Perkins she got riled and she spoke right up and,sed: "If yew men spent halt as mutch time in fixin the rode as yew dew in fillin' yewr sistuins full of buze, and then tryin' to dry it out agin bv smokin' yewr insides with stuff a.hawg wouldent tutch, this plais would have ben fixed so that my wag gun wouldent liev broak down. Or if it had tlie rode would hev ben wide enuff sost yew kould hev past ennvhow." At that the uther man he spoke up and sais: l! Maddum, I will hev yew to kno that lam one of the kownti ophi shulzi and that when the men of yewr navborhood voted me inter orphis they done their hull duty in the matter. So git yewr ole leek of a waggun out of the way and let us pass on our way to cap ture the miscreunt that defaced a pub lick sine." Hear Miss Perkins seen her chants and she spoke right up and sais: "If yew tew men will kum and help me lift the hind ex of this waggun ontew these poals, I will tell yew whare yew can find the purson that take the sine." WHERE RAIL. AND RIVER MEET" Sales during this week have been the largest during the past six months. Why has it been so? It's the prices. We want to make next week the largest week in the history of our business and _ in order to do so, we have reduced every single solitary piece of merchandise in our dry goods department. The uther man sed he was surprised that she should ask a kownti ophishul to demeen hisself by work of enny kind. But the yung drqnk got out of the bug gie and blocked the wheals with a rock, and then went and prvd up one side of the waggun at a time, and Miss Perkins put the poles uuder the hind ex and then he helped her lift the forward end of the poals and tie them to the waggun seet with some balin' wire. And awl the while they ware uther man kept skowlin' at them and tellin' them to hurry up. *- So Miss Perkins thanked the yung drung and klimbed intew her waggun and druv on, with the wait of the hind part of her waggun draggin' on thera two poals. But as the rode wuz terribul muddy the waggun went most as easy as a slay. So-ehe druv on as fast as ole Ho w itzer could walk fer half a myle, till she kum to a plais wide enuff in the rode sost she could tern out, whitch she did. And as the teem got up alongside hern the ophishul hollers: ''You will remem ber that yew promised if we would help yew with yewr waggun yew would tell us who tore down that sine." "Sho!"sais Miss Perkins, "what a memory yew hev got. Yew remember that yew helped me a'oowt this 'ere waggun, and I wuz forgetting but what this yung man and me did it all our own selves. But turn about is phair play. I took the sine down my own self." Then the ophisnul spoke up and sais: "Maddum, I'm horror struck that yew— a common persun—should hev the aw dasserty to take down a sine condem ming a brig, and that sine put up by a nophishul of this kownti! Whatreasun kan yew give fer such nefayrious con duck?" Miss Perkins was putty badly sbaired, but she kot her breath and sais: "Why, I did not mean enny harm, mistur. I jest went in the woods and got a poal and fixed the brig so it was safe, and then I went and took dbwn the sine 'cause it was misleeding." "Misleeding!" sais the ophishul, "I should like to kno who made yew a juge of the ophishul ax of this kownti ! Yew go rite strait back and put that notiss up agin, and let this be a lessun to yew that when a brig is condemmed by a kownti ophishul it kan only be uncon demmed by the same ophishul. If I wuzent so ankshus to get to Nupoit koz my bottel hez guv out I would stay and see that yew put up that sine agin my own self." Sain'this he druv on and left Miss Perkins to her own self. Seein' that it wuz ownly abowt a myle and a half or two myles back to the brig Miss Perkins made up her mind that she neaded the exurcize ennyhow. So she hitched ole Howitzer to a tree and walked back to the brig ai{J pn t up the Domestic Department Just have 15 bolts or 750 yards of bleached muslin, worth at wholesale price today 11 cents, while it lasts at. .. .10 11-4 Pepperell bleached sheeting now on sale at. . .35 9-4 Pepperell bleached sheeting now on sale at. . .32 8-4 Pepperell bleached sheeting now on sale at. . . . .30 9-4 Pepperell unbleached sheeting now on sale at . . . .30 8-4 Pepperell unbleached sheeting now on sale at. . .27 15 cent, all linen toweling, now -... . .121 cent all linen toweling, now .10 25 cent Turkish toweling, now .19 85 cent sheets, 72x90 inches, now .68 cent pillow slips now ,12 J sine.
