Conron, whb is the traveling representative for the Chicago firm, was on the scene and thoroughly demonstrated the stove to the complete satisfaction of the many purchasers. In addition to this all those buying stoves on each of these days were made a present of a set or Robers’ high-class silverware, or a beautiful rocker entirely free. The store was crowded to j overflowing during the two days and in the afternoon and evening a free drawing took place. George Weber secured a set of silverware and in the evening Henry Schlickman drew a fine rocker.

They wish to thank their friends for ' their patronage in the past and ask a | continuance in the future; .. ————o —' —‘ Sam Bailor-, who has appeared often before various courts of this county and on numerous charges, again languishes in jail.
