fall and winter stock of boots and Shoes and,
we venture to say. larger one they have new
er brought on at one time. As an evidence of
The discriminating taste, good judgment and

of the prosperity of Messrs. Lloyd & Co, but
also an indication Of the growth Of our city and
The prosperity of the country round about it.

it is ccnsummated, we trust the company may
reap thereward due to their enterprise in the
