To do a business of any sixe It's necessary to advertise, For how else would the people koow The benefits we would bestow ? How could they know that our big store Spreads o'er a million feet or more, Unless we bring it before their eyes? And this we do, by advertise How would they know that we expose Ladies', cbilds' and misses' hose, At prices away down, down, Below any they will find in town? For our embroideries, that beat them all, Many would not know to call ; So of our laces, how could they tell That not elsewhere could they do as well? Our corsets! bow unkind 'twould be, Not to invite the ladles, see? Embrace the form, with a charm, Gentle as a lover's arm. Our drcs9 goods are so charming, nice, The ladies all should see and price, They'll so enjoy the lovely sight . Sweet dreams will follow in the night. A. LYNCH. TO ADMIRERS 0FFINE HORSES.

We believe it would be practically impossible to name any article in any line not to be obtained there And all these goods are marked down to the lowest notch. This has made the great rep utation of the house a complete stock and lowest cosh prices. This never was so here as it is to day, and we know no buyer can afford to neglect an inspection of the stock. .

The town meeting on Tuesday passed off quietly In Ottawa, although the contests for the offices was animated enough to make tbo day interesting to ticket peddlers and work ers. The flht against Reed for Supervisor was a mean one In every respect a campaign of hard "fibbiug," Iu which the charges mado against him were false from beginning tot end. Nevertheless, he was beaten not by the newspaper fight atruinsl him, nor by the nat ural strength of his opponent, though a pop ular and very capable young man; but by the systems of trading carried out through tin day to elect Mr. Kerste for collector and Mr. Thomas for commissioner. Between tbeoo two tires he was defuatcd by 170 adverse ma jority. The special tax levy for road purposes wu defeated; first, tieeause it wits rather large; second, because of the carelessness of voters, many of whom voted on both sides of the question, or on neither side, both of which counted as a vote agulnst; an J, third, because the turning of so large an amount of money over to the disposition of the average body of highway commissioners, to be expended a such money is usually expended, in aiuiles puttering on roads, w iiliout definite plans or knowledge of scientific road building, if some thing the majority of tax payers hesitate to do. The Board is now, perliups, In better j condition as to personality than it has been tor some years, ann proiiatiiy at anotiier town meeting Hie levy would be ugreed to.
