Can't do Without a Paper.

What, do without paper? No,
I've tried it to my sorrow,
So, to subscribe for one I'll go,
Nor wait until tomorrow,
Should lovers hang or drown themselves,
Or other foolish caper,
never get to hear of it
do not take the paper.
Why there my neighbor, Toby Stout,
:. He always reads the news, n
And having it to talk about,
He never gets the ''blues;'
While others yawn in ennui,
His mind is light as vapor;
The cause is plain to half an eye
He always takes the paper.
While neighbor Stout hears all the news.
And knows each current price,
And always minds the p's and q's,
By taking good advice,
/ cannot tell the price of grain,
OF poultry, coffee, taper,
Or any kind of merchandise
Because take no paper.
Though have studies which require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet can spare little time,
AS well as Stout, my neighbor;
Though time be precious, can muse
And sit up somewhat later,
And thus find time to read the news

A tear stood in the printers eye.
A shadow on his face,

THE GREAT DECLINE IN DRY GOODS

can now be practically understood and realized
by calling at or sending your orders to the Cheap
Dry Goods Store of PIPER, DRAKE & CO.,
Main street, Staunton where you can find nearly
all kinds Of goods, particularly
DRESS GOODS,
at prices absolutely lower than before the war.
As general principle we are opposed to saying
extravaganza things in advertisements; but re
alEv cheap goods can now be had, we think it
proper to make known the following facts:
We are now almost daily receiving fresh goods
by express, which being bought at greatly redu-
ced prices enables to offer special inducements
to those in want of goods. For instance
Best French Merinos at less than 81 90 per yd
Empress Cloths cheaper than ever before,
Bismarck, Repps and Alpaccas, reduced,
Coburgs, and English Merinos, cheap,
All aoooI Scotch Plaids, Black and White and
Coored, Scots per yard,
Dress Foods, Stripe and Plaid, worth roc for 81
to 80 cts per yard,
Good prints from IL to Is cents,
Black Alpaccas Bleached Cottons White
and Red Flannels all wool fuled
Grey Cloth, Satinets, Hosiery, Gloves
aa III LADIES SHOES,
manufactured expressly for us-all the above
greatly reduced.
We would ask particular attention to our one

very rapidly at prices that house can undersell
