that they are well prepared for an assault, and viii

Good and Cheap Clothing.

BY reference to card 10 another
column, oar readers residing in the
vicinity of Frenchtown, and through
out the county, will be pleased to learn
that Mr.. D. S. Burwell yet remairs
at his stand at that place, ready and
willing to furnish his customers with
cheap and fashionable clc:hing, and
all the ''fxins" that go to make up
exterior Of a gentleman. Ths expe-
rienee of Mr. Burwelt In the clothing
business gives him many advantages
over others, a fact which lis patrons
will discover in dne time. Persons
are in the habit of purchasing their
clothing in large cities, thinking that
the} are bnying cheap This IS a
mista ken idea. Instead OF having
their garments made to measure, and
an opportunity to examine the mate
rails the garment is made Of, YOU are
oftentimes taken into an apartment
here Daylight is partially excluded,
aud there shown articles thrown to-
gether. which the salesman will tell
you is perfect it," and from the
small price paid for it conclude you
have made a bargain. when, indeed,
yoa have ouly to iaarn you have your
selves been sold" Besides, the ex-
pen~e Of making clothing in large
cities is much greater. from the fact
hat rents and wages are higher, con-
sequen " the manufacturer must sell
for larger profit than the country
dealer. "a word to the wise is sufi-
cient." anil almost every one who
knows Burwe;l is sufficiently wise to
patronize him He also manufactures
Military Clothing of Ill kinds, accord

Old Fogies


There is no denying the fact that
there is large number of "old fogies"
to be found liz all kinds of business :
men who have an idea that all they
have to do is to stay in their stores
shops, aud manufactures from day to
day, for customers to come to them.
What grand Unsatisfactory might as
well wait for wagon to take them
on journey without horses to pull
it along, as to business without try
ing to seek customers by advertising.
An "old fogie," in business, is one
who has an idea that everybody In the
towns, villages, and rural districts
knows him, and if they want any
thing III his line, they will come and
purchase. Never was there grea ef
mistake.
Young America" believes in ad-
vertising, by informing the public of
the places of business, and what il
for sale, whilst cid 70 sies will content
themselves by waiting fer customers
to come along.
Reader, to which class do you be-
long f? DO you believe in letting the
public know that yon are alive to bn.
siness, BY extending it through the
aid Of the press-or are You disposed
| to keep your goods ard wares to be
