esDETTER late than never" is an old maxim
ID that holds good in many cases. 1t may
seem almost incredible to many of our friends when
we say, that such has been the demand for cheap
goods since we commenced opening our SPRING
STOCK, that we have almost lost sight OF this me-
dunn of information. But taking the past for an ear
nest of the future, many of our customers, and will
be customers have taken time by the forelock and
proven to their entire satisfaction that Owensvllle
is the place for bargains in
Dry Goods, Groceries, Hard,rare, Cutlery
and Crockery, Boots, Shoes, Hats,
Saddlery, Medicines, &c.
And especially to the auburn locks of the fair
sex, are we provided with beautiful assortment OF
fashionable BONNETS, trimmed by an experienc.
ed MilIiner, in modern style.
Our friends who have not avai!ed themselves OF
this and other opportunities to buy goods and cheap
goods will please give us a call at an early day,
but don't too many call at once or we shall have to
put on an additional force, which we do not feel
ourselves able to do yet.
Thankful to generous public to whom we
pledge ourselves to serve in future we have done
in the past, if not more abundantly.
