The Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday, April 16th, 1897. The T. V. G; In the Dominion estimates, just brought down, is an appropriation of 3650.000 for the Trent Valley Canal, which is good evidence that the Govern- ment has decided to push the work toâ€" wards completion. Anoiitiéiinintoté at... V On Friday morning last, the 9th inst., exactly seven months from the day the red mill was destroyed by fire, the work of clearing away the ruins preparatory to building a new mill was us more certain than that wide-spread misery will result. from the departmental stores if conducted forany considerable time as they are at present, and no ef- fort should be spared to put an end to their career of deception, And that their success is the trait of deception, if not of something worse, is beyond the shadow of a doubt. No man or combi- nation of men can make money by sell- ing goods‘at or below cost, but they can make money if they lose a trifle on. say. ten percent. of the goods disposed of. and make a large profit on the other ninety per cent., and that is just what is done at the departmental stores. Who ever heard of a hardware merchant, or~a dealer in boots and shoes, or a druggist, refusing to sell a customer as many tin pails, or pairs of boots, or hot- tles of medicine as he is willing to pay for? Yet we are positively assured that no departmental store will 'on "bar- gain day " sell two articles of the same kind to the same individual! This fact ought to convince every person who be- comes cognizant of' it of the principle-- or, rather, the want of principleâ€"upon which business is done in these take es- tablishments, and if no one patronized them except on bargain days they would collapse in a few weeks or months. For proof that they charge more than ordi- nary prices for many articles we need not go beyond our own village. In Eaton’s catalogue the No. 2 Daisy churn is $4.25; Mr. Heard sells it for $3.50. Two kinds of washing machines are $3.75 each ; Mr. Heard sells them for $3 50. Sanderson, Percy 8:. Co.’s prepared paints are $1.50 per gallon ; Mr. Ileard sells them at $1.30 ; and hundreds of similar instances of over- charge can no doubt be found in the catalogue by any person who’ll take the trouble to lookfor them. Sarah the masses of people who crowd the depart- mental stores know is that many of the articles sold therein are, or appear to be, wonderfully cheap, and so, as the Star says, they almost tumble over each other in their eagerness to secure barâ€"â€" gains, and too often find when they reach home that they have get less value for their money than they would have ob« tained if they had spent itlcisurcly and carefully in three or four stores that do Powles’s Corner. ‘ (Carrcspondc‘ncc of ‘thc Gazette.)~ M r. A. Rutherford has been laid up for about two weeks, having strained his back lifting heavy weights, but he is now able to go about. Mr. Frank Worsley started for the North-west on Monday, the 5th inst. We hope he may do well. Mrs. E Beacock has taken a change for the worse, which we regret to hear. Dr. McAlpine of Lindsay was in uttuud- ance upon her last Sunday morning. We hope that she may yet be restored to good health. Very little has been done on the land yet in this locality, but next week it will become a general thing. 13"!” wheat and meadows have been damaged to a considerable extent. Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Quite a crowd gathered at the railway station on Thursday morning to 0011' congratulations and bid the happy cou- ple good-bye. The basket social at Union Creek, considering the \VCllllOl', was a fair sue-- cess. A basket social will be held at the Church of Eng] llltl parsonage on Thurs- day, April 22nd.
