“.1 w: FIRST SEBONDLY THIRDLY FINALLY WEST END Of all we want to say a few words about Groceries. We have spent nearly 30 years in the business and consequently should know something about it. WE DO KNOW that we have the largest stock of Groceries now we ever had and WE DO KNOW our prices are as low as honest goods can be sold for. We will draw your attention to Boots and Shoes. Shoeing a family is one of the problems thaL the head of the house has to struggle with. In Shoes QUALITY is everything. A price may masquerade as cheaD but if it does not combine quality with itâ€"it's only a shadow of cheap- neae. The values we are offering ARE GENUINE and absolute satis- faction is guaranteed. Furnishers A few words about Dry Goods' Not a big stock by any means but a select one. Our stock of Dry Goods inperfectly free from ANYTHING 0F DOUBTFUL QUALITYâ€"ANYTHING OUT or DATEâ€"ANYTHING ovzmunxnn. Men’s We would like you to come and see our Goods. The question of buying we will leave entirely with you. Men’s Sack Suits at $3. $4. $5. $6 and 7.1.. W. M. ROBSON, 3 STGRESJ 40*.) The town fathers will soon start on their annual tour of inspection. With a limited amount under their control it may not be possible to comply with all the requests for new sidewalks, or even for repairs which will be urged upon them. But there is one thing they should avoid, and that is moving a sidewalk out where only half a block was to be renewed or built. We are not finding fault with the moving out of the sidewalks ”emerally. but it is rather taxing on the eyesight to; have to be continually on the alert for; fear you may come to the end of a side- walk and tumble into the ditch. Glenelu- st. furnishes a fair insrance of the objectionable results. Either build the whole block out or leave it in the old way. We have heard it suggested that lthis committee should in their annual iwalk take stock of vacant spaces where la few trees should be planted in order to itill up gaps, and if the owners of the adjoining properties neglect to plant these trees, then let a by-law be passed empowering the overseer of streets and bridges to have them planted and charge the expense against the properties. N ow, we think this a good suggestion, and it could be applied to certain streets, otherwise we will have in a few years some awkward and unsightly bteaks in the rows of trees. We have made very great improvements in the appearance of some of our streets. and there should be some uniformity in carrying out this (scheme. THE GENERAL provincial elections took place in Nova Scotia Tuesday. and a eontest in Colchester county for the Dominion commons. The result of the provincial contests was an overwhelming triumph for the Liberal party. The con- servatives number not more than four men, and perhaps only three, to the assembly, which consists of 38 members. Every member of the provincial govern- ment who nflered for re-election was ”turned. Premier Murray in Victoria. Attorney-General Longley in Annapolis and Commissioner of Works Church in Lunenbnrg all have handsome majorities. :For the first time in seven years Halifax E elected a full Liberal ticket.
