BALTIMORE CLOTHING STORE,
Cheapest Clothing Store in Stanton.

To please our friends down the street,
Again we try our hand at rhyme,
Then from Parnassus we retreat
For truly we have not the time,
When waiting patrons crowd around,
Eager to buy Of FRANZ s. Co.
To give 10 truth poetic sound,
And let them disappointed 60.
In fact we cannot help but wonder,
How sadly looks our chubby friend,,. ;
And though he fumes much at our 'thundei,'
We surely meant not TO offend.
Oh take it easy, gentle neighbor,
We know your goods you seldom sell,
And if twill save you any labor,
The reason of it we will tell;
For all your arts the folks to wheedle,
And ease them of their extra fps, ;.Ir.
Won't answer like the thread and needle,
10 save coat or vest from rips.
Instead of basting try our plan, =.
Put in the stitches Mick and strong,
Then you can look up like man,
And like your neigh9 ors get along.
Just try for once the honest mode,
And make an effort not to cheat.
With envy then you'll NOT corrode, r.
Nor glance so sadly up the street,
The people still will bear in mind,
The fact which all our patrons know,
That extra clothing they will find -
Whenever they deal with FRANZ & Co
Truth needs no gaudy flowers Of speech.
1t wins its way with honest men,
Who, when proper place they reach,
Are always sure to call again.
Fair dealing-Cheap for Cash,-to all
Our noticed banner proud we showc
You'll save much money if you call, :.

rEHE design of this Institution is to furnish the
4 means of substantial and thorough ednca
ton. The greatest attention is paid to the health,
comfort, manners, morals and religious instruction
of the pupils. The location is one of singular
beauty. The neighborhood good. Students from
distance buarded in the family Of the subscriber
aud treated as his own daughters. The School
house is So near, that the students are not exposed
in reaching it. The School has now been in sue
cesslu operation two years, and has received con-
stantly increasing patronage. Arrangements are
now made, and in progress, which it is hoped will
render it still more worthy of public favor. Miss
Freeman is lady of very unusual attainmenls and
qualifications as a teacher. This, believe, is the
unanimous opinion of all those who patronzed the
Schuol during the last session, or who witnessed
the examination al its close. Negotiations arc now
in progress TO secure the services Of another quail
fed teacher.
The next session will commence on the lst of
September.
