Senator Jones. Chairman of theDemocratic National Committee, isparticularly well pleased with thcDemocratic prospects at the Novem¬ber elections. He states that thcDemocratic ticket will triumph inKentucky by a big majority, and re¬

gards thc outlook in Maryland as

promising from n""Démocratie stand¬point, while in Ohio tho chances are

very good.It is reported that the experiments

which have boon made by thc Post-office Department in the free deliveryof rural letters have, so far, resultedvery much to the -department's satis¬faction. Fifty thousand dollars wasappropriated last winter by Congressfor this usc. and tests of tho feasibili¬ty of thc »plan wore made in variousparts of the couutry. Early roportswhich have come in, especially fromsome districts in Maine and Vermont,tell of thc satisfaction of thc farmerswith the new service, and of their will¬ingness to profit by it.

Hon. James Wilson, Secretary ofAgriculture, says the trial of sugarbeets this season has boen very suc¬cessful. Tho experiment was tried intwenty-seven States. Thc seed weremostly procured in Europe, but nextseason the trials, which will be veryextensive, will be made with Ameri¬can seed. Twelve tons will be dis¬tributed, of which Utah alone will fur¬nish one-fourth. Nebraska and Cali¬fornia will provide a large proportionof the remainder, and tue balancenecessary will \m procured in Gcrmo-ny. Mr. Wilsou is pushing everyproject which promises to aid Ameri¬can agricultural interests.

THE ALLIANCE STORE will go out of busings at the close of thisyear, ii' not earlier. My physicians have advised that I cannot stand thestrain of the mercantile business any longer. The Directors, of tha Store arcunwilling to accept my resignation as Manager and elect another man in myplace. So the only alternative left is to close out, and we realize fully inorder to do so speedily it will be imperative to oiler great inducements inprices. Unfortunately for our Stockholders we bought a much heavier andbetter Stock of Fall and Winter Goods than ever before. It vas au error injudgment, but I thought in July and August that we were lu*, mg a big cropin this country, and would get a good price for it, but it is cut both ways,und our idea is the first less is the easiest borne. We have a cash oiler froma party in New York to take our entire stoek st so much on the dollar, butit ia so much less than real intrinsic value for fresh, new, desirable Goods,we have decided that where we are forced to give away anythingwe preferthat our own people shall get the benefit of it. Hence we inaugurate-

A SLAUGHTER SALEAll through the Store. Heretofore we have endeavored'to maintain the one-price system, but now in order to close out in a short while, quantities willnecessarily be something of a leverage in prices, as it is necessarily less ex¬pense to close out quickly than to take a long time to do so.

Again, it is impracticable to sell all lines at a uniform cut rate. It is im¬portant to reduce the stock uniformly, so as to keep a good assortment intact,thereby enabling us to fit up every customer. Any articles we are speciallyovcretocked in we will naturally cut lower at first, and afterwards we maymake further reductions on lines not moving so rapidly. For instance we areOVERLOADED in-

«

Shoes,Men's Clothing,

. Hats and Furnishings,And Ladies' Fine DFPSS Goods,

Millinery and Notions,Aud we have CUT PRICES on many ef these Goods TO THE QUICK.

Remember, these Special Prices are for PROMPT CASH only.An early visit to our Store will handsomely pay any would-be purchaser.

Very respectfully,

Mea

N. B.-All who are indebted to us will confer a greatfavor by prosapt payment.-.

WE WON T DECEIVE YOU !svv e nie Iii Business fer the Money that is in it, and not for

To be found in these parts, and "COST" ién't tho word to express how cheapwe are selling these Goods.* We do a large businesswith'a small force, and have been fairly success¬ful*, io if come men, with heavy expenses hereabouts, can sell for ''Cost," we

can sell lor less, even if we have to drink branch-water while we are at it.So if you want to buy yourFall Shoes and Dry Goods-

WHERE YOÏI ?AN DO THE BEST,Don't fail to.see us, for we are in tho ring, and into stay, "Cost" or no"Cost."
