and shd was forbidden to sec him. Ho
remained In the vicinity for several
days, sought frceuicnt Interviews with
the family, presented hla claims, and
stated that lie owned three of four
good farms out west, nnd wanted some
one to share it with him, nnd had tak
en that means to secure a life compan

Impressed with tho truth of what ho
said and the girl reluctantly consented
to marry him.
Ho took her to New York, bought her
now dresses and other things dear to
tho feminine heart, and after spend
ing a short tlmo thero slghtsclng, they
went to Chicago where another two or
three weeks were enjoyed before pro
ceeding to hla home.
She wrote to her parents stating that
she had found everything ns her hus
band had represented nnd was very
much pleased so far with her venture.
A short tlmo passed nnd then came to
the Frcdcnberg family an Invitation to
Join the daughter and her German hus
band. He sent word that ho had
enough for all of them and would wel
come them to tho West. They llnally
decided to go and are now living in
one of the western states, in luxury
compared with what they had back In
the mountains of Pike county. At
least, according to the Times, so they
write to their old friends at home.

Had times been good and money plenty we would not
have one pair of these expensive, real lace curtains on hand
that we bought at the Bankrupt Stock of Kerr, Son & Co.
But money is tight and imitations have the field, because
they look well at a distance and cost little money.
Well, the Spring Curtains, including Cluuy, Brussels,
and Point Laces, Orientals, Renuaissance, Marie Antoinette
and other high class curtains have staid with us. We must
sell them; we have no option in the matter, and for this
week we will sell the highest grade of curtains that ever
came to this city at coniinon quality prices. It's a shame,
but there's no help for it.
