ness viii increased daily, till thought it best to
havo partner, who was good accountant and
book keeper, ard in June 1916, I took Mr.. Peter
son in business with me who is a good book
keeper. When we commenced according to his es-
innate with some additions, his stock amounted TO
some S $50. my stock was estimated at $4,000,
making in all $3.50, we continued business to-
gether until the 9th of November, 1917, when |
closed the store and took possession OF the books
believing all was not right, we had sold drugs a.
mounting to over 81 coo at invoice or eastern pri-
ces, on which we had at least 81 l2 per cent prof
it, which would show that our profits on this amt.
was over 81 ,625, but there were five men who in.
vesgated the subject, who not only find [ have no
profits but have in addition, lost over 200 of my
investment taking into view the fact that am out
over $500 collected of debts due me before Pc
terson in and appropriated it in credits on my
account in firm looks, &c. &C.
The business will be continued at the old stand
by Messrs Barlow Il Meredith where the public
will find pure and cheaper drugs by from ten to fif-
teen per cent than has ever been offered in this mar
ket. | am now employed at stipulated per cent
on the business; therefore In view OF my mIsfor-
tunes in being thus suddenly reduced to my present
situation, may, not hope in behalf of my employ
ers and the small interest have in the establish
ment, that not only my former patrons but others
will patronise the house. where every effort will be
used to please both in price and quality. In con-
clusion, it is most confidently hoped and believed
that none will forsake the house, but will aid for the
sake of the small pittance get as compensation
The circumstances and causes that has brought
about my condition will in due time be exposed in
hand bill or in the newspapers. The causes are
pretty well understood in this vicinity already.

WkT E take this method to let Physicians and the
w public know we have purchased the Drug
Emporium formerly owned by Messrs. Fenimore
q Peterson. where we shall continue the business in
all its variety of articles usually kept, and lar
ger scale than heretofore, by adding to the estab,
shment in quantity the customary articles together
with groceries of all descriptions possible
after the opening of navigation. We shall have
a fresh and more extensive supply than has ever
been kept in the place, and have determined by
ducing in prices to make it the interest of Phys-
clans 10 make their purchases here instead of St.
Louis, all articles sold warranted, and should
any be found adulteraed or impure, the Physician
may a. any time within thirty days after date Of
purchase return the same, when the money will be
promptly refunded. We have procured the servi-
ces of one of the late firm, (Mr. Fenimore,) who
pledges himself to accommodate the public and his
old friends aud patrons, to the utmost of his ability.
In view of these pledges and guarantees. we most
earnestly solicit and anticipate liberal portion Of
public patronage.

The four last mentioned States have been adj

By an act of Congress, the Presidential Ell

November, throughout the Union.
All the States vote directly for Electors,
except South Carolina, which elects by the
Legislature. An extra session for that body
will be convened, TO meet the requisition of the
law.
In case there is no choice OF President by
the Electoral College, the election devolves

hearts stop not to sleep, nor falter until the
fight is won, until the thunders Of Buena Wis
Ia are poured out upon the astounded ears of
those who would PROSTATE your power and
trample your liberties under the iron heel of
party drill. Let all who can talk, talk-talk
not for themselves, but for their country, for
good government, for substantial measures and
national liberty. Care not for large audiences,
stated NEE tings or brilliant flights Of oratory;
but seek to convince the people, the honest,
ofwhom there are thousands-convince, those
that have voted for "the powers that be-" that

good of the whole nation, not the supremacy
of party, is their only safeguard, their only
