s. S. CELEBRATION PosTPoNED.--Our read
crs have already been informed of the contemplated
celebration the 10th inst of the twentieth ami
versary of the organization of the first Sunday
School in this place. The committee of arrange
ments, consisting of representatives from the sew
cral Sunday Schools has resolved to postpone the
celebration till the 18th of next month. This Is
done for various reasons, the principal of which is
on account of the weather and the wet condition
of the ground where the celebration is proposed
to be held. 1t is hoped that the time now fixed
will be more favorable for outdoor exercise than
the 10th of this month promises to be.

WELL we won't say what-the ladies all want to 60
and see for themselves, and wouldn't thank for
telling them what Mr.. BONN did bring.
The immense cash custom which BONN Co.
have built up for their House speaks we'll for them
as a correct and honest mercantile firm, and also
shows their foresight in keeping in their employ the
most obliging and gentlemanly of clerks.
The goods they are now receiving are of the lest
qualty-better than they have ever before offered
to the public. When it is considered that BONN i
Co.'s goods have been second to in quality,
this fact is significant. Those alive to their own
interests will satisfy themselves of the above by
giving them an early call.
