NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
After a quiet of several months, it is
quite refreshing to see the signs of life
manifested by our wholesale merchants in
the large arrivals of goods daily pouring
into their stores. The reputation OF our
merchants is well sustained this fall, Judg-
ing from the immense stocks now plllng
mn in their capacious warehouses, and none
are getting ahead of the old and reliable
house of A G Adams q Co., whose card
appears in our columns to-day. They are
fully I'D to the times, and by their energy
and fair dealing, and the superior quality
of their shoes, are doing much for Nash
vile in making it one of the best shoe
markets In the country.
The regular fall announcement Of Boil
var 81 Cooke & Co. is among our new ad-
vertisements this morning, 1t is hardly
necessary to say that this is the largest and
most extensive clothing establishment In
the Southern country, for this fact isknOwn
TO everv intelligent merchant in Tennessee,
Kentucky, Alabama and Georgia But
we can say in this connection that their
present stock is by far the largest that they
have ever exhibited to this market, and
embraces a variety and assortment which
The purchasing member of the firm is a
gentleman of large experience in the bust
ness, and understanding the wants of the
trade, has fully and, completely met the re-
requirements. Having the advantage of
one Of the most capacious warehouses
in the city, they are enabled to show
off their goods to advantage, and it is res
ally worth the trip to go from cellar to
garnet of this establishment and see the
immense piles of clo'hiDg to be shipped
during the season throughout this and the
adjoining States 1t is useless to enter
into details regarding the quality and styles
of the immense lines now ready for inspec-
ton, but suffice it to say that the assorts
ment is sufficient to please all tastes, and
we guarantee satisfaction to those who may
enter within the bounds Of jurisdiction of
this mammoth emporium. One feature
connected with this establishment is wor-
thy of mention, and that is the encourage
ment they give to home manufacture. The
entire upper story of the building is occu-
pied by skilled and experienced cutters,
tailOTs and operatives, and large proper
ton of their goods is made up here under
the supervision of the firm. At present
they have in their employ upward of three
hundred persons, and it can be imagined
what an immense amount of work they are
able TO turn out. Acting upon experience,
the firm have arrived at the conclusion that
they can get cheaper and better work done
at home than in the purchasing markets,
and in the course of time, IT is more than
likely that their entire stock will be manu-
featured here. The many customers of the
house will be pleased to know that A. ].

tanned as the principal statesmen, with ].

Of very worthy and courteous gentlemen,
who, by the way, are very anxious to see
their numerous trading friends.
We take pleasure in referring our read
ers to the card Of Cowan & Co, which ap-
pears in our advertising columns. This
firm are exclusive wholesale dealers in white
goods, notions, hosiery, gloves, Irish
linens, etc, and are known far and wide as
having the largest notion house this side
of the Ohio River. Making this depart
ment of the wholesale trade a specially,
they can offer such indictment to merchants
as will make it to their interest to purchase
from them. In addition to other articles
mentioned above, they keep ladies and
mems underwear, shawls, shirts, and have
Just received a full line of the popular
black jewelry. For gentlemen they have
the Russian brace, and for ladies the Irish
brace, and in fact a thousand and one
novelties belonging to the notion depart
ment This firm is composed of enter
prising, accommodating and courteous
gentlemen, and it is a pleasure to do busi-
ness with them, and the numerous at
tachees of the house. We commend them
to the trade at large.
One of our most extensive dry goods
houses in the South is that of Evans, Fife,
Porter & Co., No. l Inn Block, Public
Square. Their mammoth establishment is
thirty feet in width by one hundred and
ninety feet deep, aud five stories high, and
if there is a foot of unoccupied space IN
their entire establishment, we failed to see
it in our rounds yesterday. The ground
floor is devoted to long lines of prints,
Jeans, cloths, cassimeres, tickings, fannels,
linseys, plaid osnaburgs gloves, hosiery
and notions, and a more attractive stock in
this respect We have never seen in this or
any other market In the story above the
display is confined principally to dress
goods of all kinds, including silks, poplins,
striped Japanese, and all the varities known
TO the catalogue, and we venture 70 say
that A. I. Stewart is not prepared to ex-
hibit a stock so admirably adapted to this
trade as that to be found on this floor. We
ascend another story, where are to be seen
white goods, ribons, trimmings shawls, bal
morals and bouleyards, etc etc, in profrl-
sion A little room in this story is
cut of, and is devoted to the dis

voted TO underwear, sontsgs, net shawls,
carpet-bags, ladies' hats, etc. Retracing
our steps, we 60 to the cellar. and find it
filed to overlooking with duplicate or IN
packed goods similar to those in the stories
above. This is one Of our oldest and most
popular firms, and for years past has enjoyed
a mammoth custom, but from the appear
ance of things this season, they are antici-
pating a much larger trade than usual, for
they certainly have the best stock they
have ever offered to their customers.
Their goods were purchased at first hands
by an experienced buyer, and hence they
are enabled to compete with the markets
Of the East, and when freight is added,
they can IN many cases undersell the mer-
chants Of New York. In every respect the
hrm Is fully prepared to receive their
customers, and Messrs. McGahey, Bentley,
Cooper, Davis, Wilson Goodall, Crandall,
Quarles, Nance, Fitzpatrick, Dsvid Evans
and other clever attaches of the house will
be glad to show their friends around.
Among our enterprising hardware mer-
chants, we call attention TO the firm of
Ewing & McClaugherty, who put forth
their fall announcement this morning.
Their stock is large and complete, and
comprises a full line of everything known
to the trade. The assortment of table and
pocket cutlery is very attractive, and IN
cludes all the favorite brands, a large pro-
portion Of which was imported direct from
England. In the way of pocket cutlery,
they have on their shelves four hundred
samples, not to say anything of the
fancy lots to be seen in their show cases.
Their stock of axes will bear the closest

pressly for this house, including 'sBuford's

Of horse shoe nails, horse and mule shoes,
padlocks, chains, double and single barrel
guns, and in short everything known to
