dealers in COTTON and TOBACCO, to the
fact that we have opened Cotton and To-

be apparent to all that our city possesses
superior advantages over any other in the
West as market for these staples, it being
much nearer to at least three-fOurths of
the Cotton and Tobacco Districts in the
Valleys of the Ohio, Green, Cumberland,
and Tennessee Rivers, and more accessible
at all seasons of the year, thereby gaining
time and expense.
In soliciting your patronage, we only
ask you to assist in building up great
home market for yourselves. Our terms
of sale are the same as Louisville and
other Western markets The owners of
Cotton and Tobacco can at their option
accept or reject sales made to the highest
bidder. $50
We also solicit the consignments for sale
of all kinds of Country Produce, and the
purchase of Provisions, Groceries, and Ag-

HUNGARY. - Hungary again takes its
place among European States. with the
Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, as
King. The coronation took place at
Pesth on Saturday, with ceremonial mag
nificence, and amid great enthusiasarn-
Francis Joseph is now in his thirty-seven
year having worn the crown of Austria
since his coming of age in 1913. since
which time, also, he has been in constant
conflict with the Hungarians. For
twenty years that country has been held
as conquered province, and once the
emperor, who is now received with ac-
carnations of JOY, was nearly murdered
in the streets of his own capital by ia
natical Hungarian patriot The change
in the situation is due to concessions
made by Francis Joseph. Hungary has
strongly maintained her right to her own
constitution and her own government,
and. on assuming the crown, King
Francis took a solemn oath TO support
the old constitution of the Kingdom
Thus the monarch yields to the people,
and Hungary makes great point for free
government. This change in the policy
of the Austrian emperor is indeed mark
ed. 1t may be that Sadowa taught him
lesson, and caused his mind TO receive
the more readily the counsel of his adj
yisers-

sons represented 4 capital, we are told.

much is, we cannot doubt. hear at hand.
We cannot doubt that this has
been an important event in the history
OF Oswego. These gentlemen have learn
ed something of our resources and bust
ness, and the Importance of forming close
business connections with us. They have
learned that the great natural pathway
between the west and the Atlantic lies
through this region, and that if New
England would secure the best and most
feasible route for business they must seek
it here. We have learned something OF
the stuff of which New England men are
made. Their intelligence and enterprise
elicit nothing but admiration, and ii
must be that mutual profit will grow out
of a visit, the only feature of which the
people of this city regret, was its brevity.
