Board of Trade.
The call for a meeting to organise a
Board of Trade took a large number of
our citizens to the Court-room last night,
and the meeting organized by oalling upon
Mr. Bowser to preside, and electing Mr.
Eaton. Beeretary.
Mr. Bowser stated the objeot of the
meeting, which is to make an effort help
ourselves and the town, enlarge our
sphere, our interests, etc. He re
ferred to our school-houses and ohurches as
evidences of our clean-cut citizenship; and
also to the unsightly buildings that ocoupy
some of our prominent oorners, our appar
«ntly unlimited supplies of gas and coal;
our dutv to each otber and the town,
thinks the town should advance and that
now is the opportune time to boom it.
A letter from a castor manufacturing
firm ot N. Y. was handed to the Secretary
and read by him. The firm offers to looate
a plant here, buy its own lot, put up a
40x120 building, employ 50 bands to be
gin with and be a permanent institution
nere, but thinks the people of the town
should take $15,000 of its bonds—the plant
to cost lrom 130,000 to #40,000.
A motion to elect a Board of Trade was
made, bat this was amended to one au
thorizing the Chairman to select a com
mittee of fifteen—three from eaoh ward--
they to prepare a Constitution and By
Laws, for presentation at next meeting
This was carried and Mr. Bowser will
•elect the oummittee today. Then several
persons made remarks on the suDjec»
generally, and the meeting adjourned to
meet at call of ohairman.

' The Fast Mailt' wtiioh ap,>.-ars at tho
Park Theatre next Friday evening, is sai<l
to be tho iuo,.t successful railroad and
scenic melodrama »a the road this season.
Mr. L. J. Carter, the author and manager
ha" contrived to weive into a consistent
story nearly all the good points of the
sensational draina. Tae climax of each
act is strong enough to sustain a whole
p ay. yet so well graded are the features
"f 'he piece that one view with increasing
interest througn the live act-. the murder
and the clever trick with the Grandfath
er's Clock in the first act; The Mississippi
riyor B'.eamer, its engine room showing a
practical furnace, and the explosion with
"complete change of scene behind a cur
tain of rising sin ke," behind which is
seen the wreck, as the curtain falls on the
second act: the "life-size" freight 'rain,
with its realistic engiue and sixteen box
cars with their familiar lettering, followed

TUESDAY DEO., 15. A BAGGAGE CHECK
Cha-i E. Blaney's "A I'.agguge Cheok" is
to be the next attraction at the Paik
Theatre Tuesday Dec, 15.
•A Baggage Check" is not posessed of
any deep plot or any siffering heroines or
any of those bad villains so commonly
eeen on the stage to day. All the plot
presents is nothing aiore seiiojs than fur
nishing to the audience three hours of un
interrupted fun. An amusing novelty in
troduced is the dainty Chinese dance, pre
sented by eight pretty young ladies of the
company and $0 a sola to His Highness Li
Hang Chang, the High Viceroy ol the
Emperor of the Dragon. Everything in
this farce is constructed on purely farcical
lines, and is presented With ouch a vim
and dash that it does not lag for a mom
ent, Among the ohiaf ftia-makers in this
organization are Messrs. Gr*p>wiu it
Evans, Louis Martlnett, Chas. A Morgan,
Nettie Black, Auna Chance, The Sisters
Clayton and other well known artists.

MERE'S A CHANCE!
We are giving gilt-edged
chances right and left this vveelc,
in all lines. In dress goods, for
instance, we have cut a whole line
of imported novelties, and a line
of high grade checks and cheviots j
and velours, which have always
cost $ 1.25 to $2.00 a yard, and
marked the whole lot at
fifty cents a yard.
This includes some of the best
lines we have sold,
Wh.it do you think of getting
David and John Anderson's
Scotch Ginghams, in rich dark
colors, for 1 a yard?
What do you think of getting
choice fancy silks, the do!lar-a
yard silks, for
60c a yard ?
VELVETS, TOO
The best of velvets, which we
have rightly called bargains at $2
and $3.50 a yard, are costing now
$1.25 a yard.
It is a big clearing out we are
having.
If it's a jacket for the daughter
or for the wife, you can save your
car fare by coming up and buying
of us now. Stylish tailor-made
boucle jackets worth ten dollars,
cost $5.00.
Silk-lined misses' coats ol the
very swellest design which were
selling at $lO, sl2 and sls, cost
$6, $8 and $lO. If you can't
come up, ask for one to be sent
on trial.
Why are these so cheap? Be
cause we are getting room for the
greatest display of Holiday Goods
we ever carried. Our store is
worth visiting now, just to look
at, if you like to look at pretty
things.
We do business by mail, very
well. Write us for a catalogue.
