NEW ARRANGEMENT.

LEAVING for the past eight years faithfully E A tried the Credit system in this vicinity, and onnd to our sorrow that it is not only ruinous to ourselves but to our friends. We have therefore come to the conclusion to adopt the system of READY PAY, confident that by so doing we can offer much greater inducements to customers than those who sell on Cong credit, and In many nerer get their pay. Consequently those who do pay are charged 4Nueh H.gter Prices to make up for others deficiency.
 If you would buy goods in the cheapest possible way PAY WHEN YOU BUY. Do not be deceived by. any statement that Mr. Credit will make; de- pend upon it it is false Credit pays a much greater price for his goods than Cash and ofcourse must get greater price. Cash offers Us induce ments 50 much greater than credit can, that we have adopted his system-Quiek Sales and Small Profits.
 We have just returned from New York and other markets with great assortment of Goods in our
 line, bought almost exclusively with CASH, and at prices which defy competition.

If we were " a nice yourg man" in search Of wife, We should be very much guided in the molnentous choice by the associations and habits by which she was surrounded and who think you, would not prefer the blooming glrl who comes in, bright-eyed and crimson checked from her pleasant handiwork among the flowers, to her who dawdes down stairs with slip shod slippers, frayed wrapper, and tumbled collar, after having kept you waiting half an hour-7in whose dull eyes and taIlowy skin one can plainly read the record of last nights soiree--who don't know daisy from dinner-horn
