We’jd rat her sell them at cost, than to carry them over. They are nbt so many, but we are going- to sell what we haVe. “ Another reason is that we take our annual inventory February i and it is a big job and we do not want to list the winter goods, bo, all during this month (January) we will sell you the pick of our winter goods—woolens, underwear, heavy clothing, overcoats,'etc., at r t 7 • . - !i Q5 to 33 per cent off : of regular prices. Many pec hie have not bought all their winter woolens, underwear, overcoa s and heavy clothing, and this sale will give such people the v ery opportunity they want. Not many stores wake such a proposition in January. Generally the goods are held until ;h i next season and sold at regular prices. But we make an ex eption^this year, as we have more winter goods than we usually have. It is an opportunity not to be thrown aside. Wc do nc : catalogue any prices, but we have ^what you want, and will act; ally seli you the goods at 25 to 33 per cent discount. 11 Don’t wait for other stores to make this proposition, for they are not likely to do it.

_ Notice to Tax-Payers, TAXES! F=“OR 1899. Notice Is hereby given that the ml Duplicate for State and Count v Taxes for ISffi) i* no"Ti,n nvvhands and that I am now s ?ady to receive the taxes thereon charged; The following table shows the Rat* of Taxation on each One Hundred Dollars’wo* th of VeTtml “nd M,S° °n eaCh P°!l’ severattownships in Pike “USES.fKfo} Town of Petersburg Town of Winslow The full amount of tax maybe >ald on or before the First Monday in May. 1900. or the one-half thereof with alt ilia Road Taxes added, and the remainder on or before the First Monday in November following. When the first installment is no paid prior to the First Monday in Mav, the whole tax becomes delinquent and ten percen penalty and coat of-ollection will be added as provided by law. Persons owing delinquent taxes should pay them at once. The law is now of such a character that there is no option W th the Treasurer but to enforce the collection of delinquent taxes, however much he may regret to collect the same by the sale of property. The time for the payment of lax >s without penalty cannot hereafter be extended beyond the First Monday in May and tli.e 'irst Monday in November. Persons who have been in the habit ol paying alter that lime will bear this in mind. The law compels settlement to be made on time. Please do not ask to have yonr eyeipts made out for fut ure payment. No County Order will be paid to any peison owing delinquent foxes, and parties are warned not to purchase such orden as they will be held for delinquent tax of original owner Bring your Road Receipts vrit u yon when you pay your first installment, as I cannot take receipts after n\y annual settlement in June. No Road Receipt will be received or credited unless presented by the pe son owning the land for whieli the receipt is given. It is the duty of tax-payers to call for property on which they wish to pay, and see that they have separate receipts for cue i township or town, and see that they are correbt-before leaving the office. - ! Call on the Auditor for any redaction in taxes. The Treasurer cannot make such reductions. ' j ' "7 Tax-payers will find it great iy o their advantage to call early and avoid mistakes incident to the rush of business of the 1 rst few days. All those who have their taxes complicated such as undivided estates, are esp* dally requested to call when we are at ieisure.as it icquires considerable time to make the divj dons and nmke separate receipts.
