Elliot. ONLY 80. Eighty Cents for Each Article. Yesterday Mr. S.

M. Williams, the Hon nepin avenne bookseller, laid out an tfO-oent table in his store and, with the assistance of The Tribune, notified his friends and the publio at large of his undertaking. The result was that that table became the center attraction for people who appreciated good bargains. Books that cost much over amount charged, and others tbat would have been cheap at 1..10 aud $2, were to be found on the 80-cent table, and were eagerly bought up by appreciative jieople. Last evening this table was replenished with a complete new assortment, and it is confidently expected that there will be a grand rush for it to-day.

You had better go there early if you want to avoid the crowd. THOSE CHEAP BOOKS 4 Kirkbride, Whitall are making a sensation. Thousands are being sold. DKESS BUTTS. None Cac be Considered a la Mode Unless Made by Farrington.

A great many young gentlemen entertain opinion that the style in dress suits never changes, that a coat which was new three, four five years ago can be expected to "pass muster this winter. That this opinion is erroneous one needs no other proof than fashion plates of each successive year. Changes are annually made in the shape and length, and in many cases an old coat worn at a publio or private reception often brings its wearer into ridicule. If Mr. G.

F. fiirrington is your tailor this deplorable condition will never be yours. Your suits will always be in style, and instead of exciting ridicule will force admiration. May, the Caterer. THE ANNEX.
