IN taking charge of the Furniture Store recently purchased of the Jay W. Williams heirs, I find it desirable to greatly reduce the stock, and to accomplish this in the least possible time I have decided to mark every article for sale at a greatly reduced price during the season of heaviest furniture buying. This price reduction extends to every article of furniture in the store, except kitchen cabinets, which by contract with the manufacturers can not be sold except at the factory retail price. Everything else has been marked down as low as we could afford to sell it, and there is at least a 10 per cent reduction on it all, and this cut in price extends to as much as 40 per cent on sdme articles. The price advantage is certain to attract attention and create a great rush for the first choice, and I have decided to give all an equal chance by starting the sale Saturday Morning, Dec. 12, and continuing it to Dec. 31. My clerks have carefully gone over every article, left the old sale price tag and placed over it a new red tag with the reduction price thereon, Both prices are in plain figures and customers can see for themselves that the reduction is actual. My motive in making this great sacrifice sale is to condense the stock which is now displayed and stored in several rooms, and to allow the display of new goods that are to arrive on Jan. 1. This is notan effort to sell old and out-of-date furniture, for it is deubtful if there was a better stock in Northern Indiana than the Williams stock, and this means rare bargains in the best furniture.

Don’t let this chance get away from you. Now is the time to buy. Get in early and * • (CSS se^ec^ons - Red Tag has Reduction Price plainly marked. *« "W. J. "WIRIG-TZT j||| Successor to Jay W. Williams * Opposite Courthouse Rensselaer, Indiana ,

start him on his way again as an independent, manly citizen, with the right and capacity to earn a living and to demand the respect of his fellows. The homeless man is the biggest proposition in specialized charity today.” Mr. Gwin, after being graduated from the Indiana University and the New York School of Philanthropy, became a visitor for the Associated Charities in Cincinnati during the summer of 1907 and came to Baltimore as an assistant agent of the Federated Charities four months ago. Since going into the active field he has made the study of the Individual homeless man his specialty.

She was united in marriage to Simon Kessick, March 17, 1890, and has resided in this county all her life except six years they spent in Minnesota. Eight children weie born to them, three of' whom died in infancy and one son at the age of five years. Her husband died Feb. 14, 1907.

Bookkeeping in the Court House.

The next legislature can hardly escape enacting a law for uniformity in bookkeeping by county, township and municipal offices. The demand comes from every quarter for such a law and also for inspectors of such books. Scarcely two counties or townships in the state have now the same system, and because of the lack of uniformity and inspection, there are large losses to the taxpaying public. In nearly all counties where experts have gone through the books it has been found that officers have been careless in accounting for aM the funds that came into their hands and many have been required to replace large amounts of money that belonged to the people who paid it in. When each county and township adopts the same system for keeping books and officers are chosen to check them up as often as may be necessary, there will be less money squandered or lost. A system similar to that of the government of checking up postoffices, without giving the officers any warning of their coming, will do much toward keeping the books and finances in better condition. No officer who Is disposed to be fair In every detail, would object to having his books inspected and audited at any time. —Exchange.

Manufacturers to Visit Rensselaer.

The board of directors of the Commercial Club Friday evening listened to the favorable report of the committee that went to Chicago to look over the metal furniture factory, and unanimously decided to Invite the manufacturers >to come here to see the town. President Robinson wrote a letter to them and it is expected that one or both of the proprietors of the factory will come here within a few days.* The board thought it advisable not to close the option for a subdivision until after the factory representatives had been here, thinking they might possibly have some opinion as to the location of the factory and the subdivision. It is probable that Mr. Price will come here with the factory people and that he will also be consulted about the most salable of the subdivisions.

Warning to Dealers in Christinas Candies.

H. E. Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, has issued warning to dealers in Christmas candles to keep the display under glass to protect it from dust and dirt as required by law. “The season Is approaching” said Mr. Barnard, “when large quantities of Christmas candles will be Such goods can not be displayed except under glass unless in violation of the law. “Wq have had practically no occasion to speak of this matter since last year, and hope that the conditions which have prevailed during the summer season will prevail during the rush season. The reasons which now make It necessary to cover the candles eleven months out of the year are very much more urgent during the Christmas rush when the stores are being tramped by an increased number of people there is a very general consumption of sweets among all classes.”

Ohio Mostly Dry. Fifty-five of Ohio’s elghty-elght counties are “dry.” Seven are wet This Is the result of six months work on the part of the Ohio AntlSaloon League since the Ross county ontlon law went Into effect. Of the fifty-five counties In which the saloons have been voted out five went dry under an old law. As little progress was made by the Anti-Sa-loon followers under that law, It was displaced by the new law, which has been successful. Voting will be held In practically all of the remaining twenty-six counties within the next few months. The counties remain dry or wet according to the vote, for two years. v The saddest thing about the life that ministers to no one Is that It never knows what it has missed.
