satisfy the most fastidious that every
thing necessary or desired In a first class

and at prices that cannot fail to be salts

groceries, hardware, w~ooden-ware. per
fumerles, ETC., can be found there. but
all the delicate and unnameab!e articles

and coiors. 1t is the determination of
Mr. Z. to keep nothing but the best of
all goods in his establishment and to sell
them at reasonable prices so as to obviste
the necessity OF sending to New Orleans
or else where, for the same articles. His
clerks, Messrs. Gus. ALLAN and ALoszoI
