surpassed ih the West. Their facilities for
supplying booksellers and newspa per.ven-

Hunt & Miner the most available House in
the West, from which to order Periodicals,

the final words of two others whose declar.

it, is Almost unheard Of. Such is precisely
the relative position of File, Jones and
Monroe Stuart; the latter holding with un.
easy tenure to existence, which is destined
