TAILORING !!---The

Graves & Sprinkle has been mutually dissolved
and the business will hereafter be conducted by
7. b. Graves alone.
He has reduced his prices for cash, and will do
all kinds of work pertaining to the tailoring bust
ness, in the very best manner, and at figures so
low that one will fail to be satisfied. He has
removed his shop to the room formerly occupied
by Dr. 3. B. Donaghe as an office, and invites
all his friends and the public generally to give
him call.
