Piper, Drake Co., have received, and will

think they haze the incest trade in tosom" they are
compelled to keep first class goods as they have
always done, and can and will sell them at fair
prices.
They will also keep what merchants call ''sec-
onds" which are, in some instances, pretty fair
goods, out can, as general thing, be sold for
less than first class goods cost.
They do not propose to sell seasonable goods at
cost, for if they did their friends would not be-
lieve them, but they do promise to sell as low as
any other house, for the same class of goods.
They have just received splendid lot of
Bleached and Brown Cottons,
which they can sell very reasonable.
They have also just received splendid lot of
Cotton Yarns, which they are selling at lower

When the PLANTATION B1TTERs were first made
known to the American people some seven years
ago, it was supposed they were entirely new
thing, and had never before been used. So far as
their general in the United States is concerned
this may be true. 1t is also true that the same
Bitters were made and sold in the Island of St.
Thomas over forty years ago, as any old planter,
merchant or sea captain doing business with the
Vest Indies will tell you. 1t is distinctly within
my recollection that on the return of my father
(who was sea captain, and doing an extensive
trade in the tropics, he would invariably have
the Bitters among the ships stores, and our fnmily
sideboard was never without them. For any sick
ness, it matters not how severe or trfng, the de-
canter of these Bitters. by a different name, was
always resorted to as sovereign remedy.
