The gentleman who stated in q speech at the
Court House, on Saturday night last, that the
sales Of no firm in Emporia for 125 days last

hrmed remarkable exAggeration. We can
name several firms whose sales since January
LIST, 1870, exceeded a much greater rate. Mr..

Co., informed US the other day that their sales,
during the past two months, was Mt the rate
Of $50 200 per year, If not more, and that their
business was daily increasing.
