"When the cat's away the mice

truthfulness has been recently
proven at the Episcopal Church.
During the absence of the Rector
on his summer vacation, the mice
ate a hole iu the bellows of the
pipe organ, so that it was necessary
last Sunday to use the little Sunday
school organ at the church services.
On Monday a trap was set in the
organ and the first catch was three
mice. It is hoped that the assort
ment ot mice will soon be mater
ially reduced, as it is impossible to
get at the leak without taking out
the pedal action. The congrega
tion may have to listen to the small
organ for a few Sundays until the
arrival of the organ tuner, who . is
due here about October 1st.

NEW FALL GOODS
Are arriving almost daily. They are placed on sale
as fast as they are taken from the cases. You will find
good lines of DRESS GOODS in the popular weaves
and materials of the season. We buy for cash and we
sell for cash, thus giving you all the advantage we de
rive from cash purchases, which' often is quite a bit in
saving on regular prices. We endeavor to buy no sec
onds or inferior grades, because the price is cheaper.
We look for quality and then for the low prices for the
cash. Seconds and off colors are always offered at low
er prices, but they're not cheap to buy, for you can buy
the correct articles always for a trifle more, which will
give more service, and is, therefore, much cheaper for
you.
