The Business Men Of Alexandra,
THOSE WHO ADVERTISE IN THE DEMOCRAT.

THOSE WHO ADVERTISE IN THE DEMOCRAT.
ALEXANDRA, though for the past six
months, has been unusually dull in the
business line, can boast of having some
business men, of various callings, who
command the respect Of the community
and fully appreciate their "Home Or
gan" and extend to it liberal patron
age, and one and all are brushing up
for the Fall campaign. The following
are those to whom we have reference
Dr.. H. st. John
Is one of tn 9 heaviest dealers in
Drugs, Medicines, Paints, Oils, Garden
Seed, Perfumeries, Notions, Fancy Ar
ticles, ETC., in the State outside of New
Orleans. His stock is always fresh and
complete, and is always being renewed.
The prescription department Of his es-
Enlistment is his speciality, being al
ways presided over by himself and his
competent assistant. Customers can
rely with.certainty on having their Or
ders filled correctly and to the letter.
William Hustmyfe.
Though only recently established in
business, this young merchant, who is
a native of Alexandria, has at once
passed up to the head of the list of our
merchants. His stand is the old and
long established one Of the. late Jacob
walker, corner of Front and Jackson
streets, where can be found and pnr-
chased cheap, very cheap for cash, the
very best Family Groceries, Corn, Oats,
Hardware, Dry Goods, Tin and Crock
eryware. In fact William has COM
plete stock of everything, and you al
ways leave his counter well satisfied.
E. Hardtner.
The Boot and Shoe Emporium Of this
gentleman, who is himself-a skilled
workman. whose establishment is in
Levin's brick building, on Murray
street, turns out fine and excellent
work, at hard time rates, and has PROV
ed success.
Ferguson 4 Sthnatk.
These young and enterprising gentle
men-workmen, who are the successors
to the late popular firm of Levin & Fer
guson, remain at the old stand on Front,
corner Of Murray street, have renewed
their stock and have no such word as
fail in their dictionary. There you can
find anything in the Watch, Clock,
Jewelry and Fancy line you may de-
sire, and are certain to.t'drive a good
trade" Being both finished and artis-
tic workmen, they are always prepared
to repair any damaged or out of fix
Watch, Clock. Pistol, etc. In fact you
can't go amiss when you step into that
establishment. These gentlemen are
also agents for the sale of the celebra-
ted Crescent Spectacles.
Patrick Kelly.
We venture the assertion without fear
OF contradictions that this gentleman,
aided by his brother and nephew, "Our
Pat" all three of whom are skilled me-
chanics, has the most perfect and COM
plete work shop in this portion of Lou
isiana. They are contractors, builders
and undertakers, and proverbially COM
petent and punctual in all their works.
One thing certain they can furnish you
with first class funeral, and their
equipage in this branch of their BUSH
ness is not excelled by the famed ones
who give Royalty their last drive to
"Pere Lachaise.''
Nelson Taylor.
This old citizen and perfect "horse-
man." as old sports have it, still lives
and flourishes at his old Stable, corner
of Third and DeSotD streets, where he
can always be found at his post and in
full race horse training, ready to ac-
commodate the young bloods and old
sober heads of Alexandria; and the word
of the Democrat for it, there are none of
Tom Bowling's sulks in his compost
ton.
