Joyful News!
The Cry is ''Still They Come. "
WHAT

Why beautiful goods, that will cause great talk
As our old friend NJ Powers, has just returned from
And receiving his Store, Southeast corner of the
Square,
rich Spring and Summer Stock, which he'll sell very
fair,
Embracing clothing and every article in the furnishing
line,
Which in beauty and durability sstruly divine"
He has coats and pants of almost every style and
shade.
Most fashionably cut, and very neatly pressed and
And as for handsome vests-he'n sell you one in
fash
For the very least possible share of your cash.
Nor forgetting old line Wings and Democrats,
For whom he keeps varietr of suitable hats,
The finest caps-a fancies sure TO please
Both cloth and silk, and new style japanese;
Handsome shirts, and splendid cravats and collars,
So to NJ Powers don't neglect to bring your dollars;
For with myriads we would now dispute,
VINO dare say his garments fail to suit;
Those most neat and fastidous in taste,
Who Oft in badly made clothes their money waste.
But strange to say. for the very smallest sum,
You feel inclined to expend at Powers Emporium,
He will give you bargains very rcih are rare,
That will compel you for months to wonder and stare.
He keeps clothing suit the large and the ANAL,
And to credit our word, Just give him a call.
"Quick sales and small prOhts'' is his motto long
traced,
So to N. Powers Store for bargains make haste.
