morning till night. People enter when there is no
hope of getting near the counter, but they wait

are laying in a supply. Everything about the
house will be adorned with jewelry, and children
yet unborn will profit by this deluge of golden
ornaments One dollar bargains are all the CO.
If anybody wants to sell farm or dweliing-house

customer.
