Special Notice.
This is the month when merchants
want to sell their goods more impera-
tively than any other of the year. In
February also it is neither spring-time
or harvest, hay nor grass. Hence the
sagacious merchant who knows his
business, will now increase his adver-
tising announcements. The GAZETTE
offers the very best of mediums to that
end, as it circulates most largely among
those people who are likely to become
purchasers.
Frightfully Burned.
Mrs. Kate Burcha .was seriously
burned at her home in Bridgeport,
yesterday. She was leaning over a
crib looking at her nine-month-old
baby. Her dress touched the stove
and blazed up. She ran to the window
and screamed.
Anton Franz, a peddler, rushed into
the house and tore the burning cloth-
ing from her. At the hospital the
physician said his help did not come in
time to save her life.

More Improvements.
Mrs. E. P. Weed is to have all her
remaining stores in Opera House block
repainted in gloss“white, same as has
been done with the renovated corner
store. This when done will be a con;
spicuous improvement.

store pace in this city and all are fol-
lowing their lighter and brighter col-
oring. .
