We make a specialty of this make, because they are the best clothes for the money asked. They are the kind of clothes for us to sell because they give you the greatest wear and satisfaction. Every garment bearing this label is all wool always. In style, fit and tailoring they're all right.


It's just as important for us to see that you get the clothes you ought to have, as it is to you. We cannot afford to make any mistake in your suit or overcoat; we are bound to make you satis- fied. And making you satisfied is why we recom- mend this make of clothes.

Inmates of Almshouse for the past year-Walter Lucas, age 62; Hannah Leighton, age 88; Guy Ames, age 38.


REMARKS: - The farm for the past year, under the care of Mr. and Mrs. F. R. York, has been kept in ex- cellent order both in the house and outside, the inmates receiving the best of care. Their earnest endeavors to make a profitable showing have been fully appreciated. Although the balance shows against the farm this year, this is not due to any negligence on their part, but rather to the unfortunate loss of two cows and several extra bills such as insurance, doctors, undertakers, etc. However, taking into consideration the fact that we have two more cows than last year, the difference will make the balance in the farm's favor.

We consider the Town very fortunate in being able to retain Mr. and Mrs. York for the ensuing year. E. D. WATERHOUSE, W. L. LIBBY, O. E. HARDY, Overseers of Poor :
