of Havana cigars, as will he seen by q card
published Ia another column, opened
store for the sale by retail Of these goods
at the southwest corner Of St. Charles and
Common streets. When the retail buyer
can have the assurance from such mer-
chant as MIR. Nagi has proved himself to
be in this community. that he will get the
PEAL choice cigar for bis money. it is cleaY
that he will have 9 rare opportunity TO

far more freely than ever before. The
brands which hr. Magi has been noted for
importing are among the most exquisite Of
the manufacture Of Havana, and his inteD-
ton is to pace the retail buyer on such @
footing as to give him al The profits which
were heretofore made by the parties from
whom he bought. We know Mr.. Magi, and
