LARGE lloCs.-Among the crowd Of pork.

lot of 10 hogs from Mr.. VIM. Wait, of Edg-

Mr.. Wait is known as one of the best pork
producers in the county and always has very
fine hogs; but this lot, we believe, was the

] SwANsoN's boot and shoe store has become
one OF the established institutions of our city,
and for variety and excellence Of work is not
exceled if equaled, by any concern in the
west.
In ladies' nice work and gentlemens' fine
boots, no concern in this region can compare
with it. The best trade, in this line, from
Davenport, Moline and the adjoining towns,
goes to Swanson's. Davenport may brag
about having more beer shops, no gas, and
repudlatng her city Indebtedness, but she
cant brag on a shoe store at all comparable
with Swansons Gentlemen and ladies, in
Davenport, who know the difference between
elegant work and stogy work, and who are
willing to pay for nice job, come over to
Swanson for their work.
In heavy work he also excels People
from the country. and those who are much
exposed to the changesof weather, and want
strong, durable and water proof boots can
get the real bang up and cheesey" sort, at
SwansOn's.
The little boys and girls, too, can get any
kind Of a boot or shoe they want, ut Swan
sons
He employs large number of workmen
and will keep none but the best-and his ma
terials are the best the eastern markets pro.
duce.
For nice fits and elegant work loose or
easy fits and strong work, Swanson's is fully
equal to the best establishment in the coun.
try, east or west.

Perhaps fow towns IN Tennessee
can boast Of five better or more com
modious church editices than those be.
longing to the Cumberlands, the Pres.
%byterians, Baptists, M~ethodists, and
EI,iscopaliaus of Winchester. All of
these buildings have been taken pos.
session of by the military authorities,
as Hospitals tor the sick soldiers; and
the citizens, who are thus deprived of
their usual places OF worship, so far from
complaining, have been glad to be able
TO contribute such comfortable quarters
to the sick soldiers who are fighting
the battles of the tonfederacy.
But the sick sold ers and their
nurses, and those who are placed in
charge of those church hospitals, the
surgeons and superintendent, must
remember to what other sacred use
these buildings havo been dedicated
they must remember that the citizens
of WINCHESTER have more respect for
their very walls, even, than they have
for those Of their homes or business
houses; and if they, the soldiers, sur.
goons and superintendent, have the
right sort Of principles, of honor TO COP
and to themselves, and a common re-
spect tor the feelings Of the citiz ems,
they vii! see to it that no injury is done
to the ediiices by their temporary oc.
cuparcy as Hospitals for the sick sol.
dicrs. Do not suffer tho walls to be de-.
faced or the windows broken. Fix n
penalty, a punishment, in advance, you
who have the power to do SO, for any
carelesSness Of this sort, that the nurs.
es, aud soldiers, and all may be proper.

matter. Give heed t. our appeal in
