NASHVILLE, TENN. WEDNESDAY, APRIL II, 1861
Joyful News!
The Cry is "Stin They Come. .
WHAT?

Why beautiful goods that will cause great talk,
As our old friend, H. Powers has just returned from
New York
And receiving his Store Southeast 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 eftruly divine %
He has coats and pants Of almost every style and
shade.
Most fashionably CUT and very neatly pressed and
And for handsome vests-heH sell you one in a
flash
For the very least possible share of your cash.
Nor forgetting old line Wings and Democrats,
For whom he keeps VARIETY of suitable hats,
The finest capS-all fances to please
Both cloth and silk, and new style japanese;
Handsome shirts, and splendid cravats and collars,
So to VI. 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 fastidious 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 to suit the large and the small
And to credit our word, Just give him call.
"Quick sales and small profits" is his motto long
traced,
So to NJ. Powers Store for bargains make haste.
