Byron Clark, is u name very
familiar in this community, and his
business department has won for him
large list of friends and customers.
His restaurant, where everything is
served to tickle the palate and satiate
the appetite, is fitted up in good or.

clean and "dono up brown" Clark S
soda water is the beverage now, and
almost everybody drinks it, as n
wholesome, good, delicious beverage.

others term the choicest cigars in

ever had in the city, and has made
this point his permanent abiding

shows his goods, and gets tho high

gentleman attends strictly to his
business, and is making it a good
win. Next week, we understand,
he will offer for sale large stock of
good clothing. Just now he is dis
