saloon OF Joe Fullmer, No. 500 Market ST.
Everything was prepared in that style
which has rendered this establishment 80
exceedingly popular with the best epicures

elite. This establishment is handsomely
arranged in all lie departments, the bSst
oysters and ediblcs are cooked in the most
paatable manner, the walters are polite aud
attentive TO customers, and no pains are
spared to render entire satisfaction to the
numerous patrons OF this well conducted
Iteiectory.
King Street Within the last year King
street has been much improved in the erec-
ton of stores and dwellings. Market street
al one time swallowed up nearly all kinds
OF business, and merchants and mechanics
were afraid to venture TO another street to
pursue their different aVocations. Just look
at the neat millinery, boot and other stores
on King street In prosperous condition.
Another important feature in trade is the
establishment of the Oyster and Fish Depot
by Billy Piper and Charley Yates, at No.
2l0 King street. They are doing a fine bu-
slness, and arc prompt IN the delivery OF
their articles. They sell quick and cheap.
Go and see them.
