friends, and the citizens of the county generally.
that he has again re-opened, with
Ne'o Stock and Fail Supply, his Grocery Store,
At the old stand of II. L. Ely & Son, Charlestown.
To partcnlarize the numerous articles in store for

needed will either be found on hand or obtained at
the earliest day. The motto in trade now being
"quck sales and short profits" it is his intention
to sell all articles cheap they can be procured
elsewhere. He therefore appeals with confidence
