The Great American HOG is Coming THBOrnZBN MISCELLANEOUS The Widow Popped. A St Paul dispatch to the St Louit Re public saya: Judge Burr thia morning per formed a marriage ceremony of a rather re markable character. The groom waa Hor ace Warner, aged 21, and the bride, Mr». Annie Brown, a widow of 56. The bride haa been living with her daughter and non in-law, John Gibboiu, on a farm in Dakota county, and the groom haa been employed by Gibbons aa a farm hand. Gibbons and his raother-in-Uw, to whom the farm be longed, were wont to quarrel often and violently, and the widow reasoned that if she could get married again it would be an easy matter to nut the farm without Gib bons, and ahe could get rid of him. She cut her eye aboat her in search of the proper man for a future husband. It rested on the young and healthy Horace Warner. She piopoeed to him secretly and be accepted. They drore to town at once and were united. A few hoars of shopping and gating at the city sights sufficed for their honeymoon, and they went back to the farm to-night prepared to face the wrath of the son-in-law and his wife. Articles Found in Cotton Bales. J According to the Providence Journal, at 1 the W arapanoag Mill not long ago, the workmen in the picker room stopped a j package of matches just as the bundle *u disappearing into the picker. It bad come out of a cotton bale the men bad jnst open ed. Had they gone into the machine, there wonld have been a lively blaze. Speaking of this incident, a roan who has tended a picker for several year* said that the things which com* out of a cotton bale and evidently grow on bushes would astonish one. One day he beard something grind inside the picker, and, stopping the machine, found a silver spoon. Lizards and small snakes were common. A set of false teeth, small coins, knives, tobacco, and occasionally articles of more value have b< en fonnd. These things undoubt edly get inside the bales accidentally, but there are other things which evidently get inside in accordance with a fixed purpose, and by strange coincidences they are found to weigh more than cotton, and not to be worth at much per pound on the market Band, scrap iron, and dirt are of ten found tapped inside of a cotton bale for ballast. —To enjoy pood health, aim to alwayx have abundant deep; thU can generally be secured by management, unless yon hare • crying baby, In which I»r.

Every body said it was \ \ ' about time. But she informed him that /!■>- \ . tL/, there was only one request she wished to •' * ' s*^7// v make to conclude the contract, and that ■ ' was that he promised to buy his wedding t'l" outfit at the reliable and trustworthy house v> of D. A. HECK, who always sells clothing and furnishing goods at the very lowest possible prices. He took the advice, and, happy to say, was soon the happiest man on this terrestrial ball. Our illustration represents close figures, and no doubt they would like to get closer but they can't do it. We would like to make closer g ures but we can't do it, because there is no more room for reduction to eu the selling price; a little more would be to cut into the cost price, an t a would be digging the ground from under our own feet. Already we are too close for comfort to the cost mark, and must sell large quantities at these prices to make it pay. We found that our former room was entirely too small for o rapidly Increasing trade, therefore we built an addition, whic gi\es us w the room we had before, and now we have the largest and bes lg i room Butler filled from top to bottom with Clothing, Hats, Caps, Shirts, I nderwear, Collars, Cuffs, Ties, Handkerchiefs, Mufflers, Gloves, Mittens, Rubber Clog, Overalls, Jackets, Suspenders, Umbrellas, Trunks, \ alises, Jewe r>, an no ions generally ever brought to this town. We are branching out in our ine o usi ness continually, and intend to keep ahead as long as there is a epar men capable of improvement. We aim to be at the top of the ladder, and are bound to stay there if there is any virtue in good goods, honest methods, fair and low prices. We back up our business with energy, grit and greenbiuiits. We don't wait for weather or sigh for seasons. If the summer is ac war we are forward. If the season is late we are on time, and we cut the cost to the cir cumference and convince you that a bargain is always in season. e can force the seasons but we can force a sale. Howling hurricanes! shrill-shrieking storm spirits that ride the bellowing blasts! terrible tornadoes that terrify the traveler and frighten the farmer into frenzy! the tremendous typhoon, scourge of the salt, seething sea, sea es the ship and sailor! Sahara's sirocco and storm of sand, deadly devastator of the desert, shroud and sepulchre of swirling sand! The world wails and wonders at these phenomena, but is comforted and compensated by the ftat that HECK IS in business to repair damages. Ponder over these things. Think deeply when you contemplate a purchase of anything in our line, no matter how small. Act wisely l>y coming to look over our large and well-assorted stock of new and sea sonable goods. Jx>ok ahead! Cease your reckless expenditure—have a care for the future—and save money while you have it to nave. After seeing the qua 1 y and hearing the price of our goodß you caittiot resist. It is impossible to do ter elsewhere. Now, if you can tell the difference between a baby-buggy cheap and a baby buggy-cheap, or a buggy baby-cheap and a buggy-baby cheap, which we know you can if you read carefully and think deeply, you will certain y patronize us. . . Thanking our many friends and the public for past favors, and hoping to please you still better in the future, we still remain, Your very humbly servant, D. A.
