There are four or five well defined
cases of smallpox in the city. Health
Officer Reardon has taken steps to
isolate them and prevent the spread
of the disease. The cases discovered by
the health officer were brought to
the city from the country and, owing
to the fact that the city authorities
have enforced the ordinance requir?
ing everybody to be vaccinated, the
disease has not spread. The few cases
that have developed will be isolated
and quarantined, and there is no dan?
ger of an epidmic, but it would be wise
for all who have not been vaccinated
to do so at once.

Messrs. H. C. Moses. H. Lee Scarbor?

Rev. James McDowell, Dr. James C.
Spann. Rev. W. N. Edmunds. John H.
Clifton, L. C. Moise, Geo. D. Levy and
possibly others.
From this date,
January 2, I<H>5,
Until further notice, our entire stock of
Suits, Overcoats, Trousers, Underwear
and Lap Robes will be sold AT COST
STRICTLY FOR CASH !
The reason for sacrificing all profit during this sale is a logical
and sensible one. To carry stock over means not only to hamper the
new goods, but it also means much dormant capital, insurance charges
and loss from change of fashion. Hence our willingness to sacrifice all
profit to effect a speedy and absolute clearance.
