Perhaps the last entry in the old volume, and the first in the new will be a lonely watch by the fireside, or a merry gathering with friends to hear the midnight bells message. And the message that comes in the solemn calm or in the merry din is the same that no good comes from lingering over the blots and blurs on the closed pages, and that the great joy in living is the opportunity; always ahead to try and make the story more beautiful. I Arrangements arWractlcally completed for the. Chajr Ball which will take place tomorrwwTvening at Convention Hall and the kffair will be one of the most brilliant and enjoyable ever given.

That is, marking down the original selling prices of our goods. First: To reduce the stock before Inventory. Second: To dispose of all patterns which are to be and we will not, earry-' again. Third: To Increase our capital on hand so that we are able to buy in large quantities and manufacture new designs for the Spring business. We do hot sail forth with full page newspaper advertisements or flood the streets with handbills or make any sensational outcry about the Immense bargains and big savings found here during our January Sale.

IV Why Well, you never heard of a man with a good tip on the races or stock market, go about crying loudly "a great tip, everybody get In on It!" Indeed not. But he does quietly tell his best friends and they use the good ttp to their advantage in a quiet way. So it Is with our January Sale. We find we have an excellent assort ment of furniture remaining alter. ine rusn ot lasi weex, twnicn we want to tell you about In a quiet way).

Some lines did not sell as rapidly as they should have. Parlor Cabinets Davenports Turkish Rockers Hall Clocks and Borne other things; were slow goers this season, therefore we must reduce this stock. To carry It on hand we cannot afford to do, and to reduce It quickly we mark down the original price 25 per cent. Mind you we do not add on 20 per cent, to the originally selling price and then take off 25 per cent. but that method of flgurlntc is regularly done by some fstore3 during so-called Special sales.

If you are in need of anything for the comfort or convenience Of your Parlor, Hall, Library, Living-room, Nursery, Bedroom, Dining-room, Bath-room or Kitchen, you will find something at our store during this sale, which would be genuine economy to invest your money -in. We can sell you a $75.00 Genuine leather Turkish rocker for $40.00, because It costs us more than $40 00 to make our $75.00 Turklrh rockers. Neither can we offer you a selection of 50 parloB- suites tnr.i were $100 and new $50.00. But if you want to see some real, genuine furniture values, it will be more than a to show them to ypu this month. GHAEESRDOLL 477-439 Stmt.
