0uR PROPOSITION
FOR / 1S7 4.

1st. WepropOse to sell our goods
at the very lowest prices possible,
and, to all good, prompt, RESPONSE
bic parties, who desire it, on a cred
it of 80 days to 6 months. But we
will not take chances for sake Of
making sales. Neither will we add
on one farthing for bad debts; and
of that class we have scarcely any,
as by actual calculation, One-eighth
of one per cent. on our sales will
more than pay our losses in bad
debts during the nine years Of our
partnership.
I'd. We propose to give a dis
count of 5 per cent. to all parties
who pay the CASH, and will guar
antee these prices to be as low, or
IOtSer, than viii be made by any
Cash Store in the county.
Sd. We propose to sell the
Changers goods as cheap or cheap
0' than any other parties will; and
also sell all other persons (that give
US the same kind of pay) at the
same prices.
The reasons why we can do these
things, are,
1st. We have a very large capi-
al in our business, and can at any
time command all we want.
I'd. We handle more dry goods
Can any other store in the county.
Cur Wholesale trade (Which is rap
idly grOwing) enables us to buy in
Ae largest quantities, and direct
Dom the manufacturers.
Sd. We will, when we move, have
the finest, ightest, most convenient
and best adapted room in this part
of the State.
4th. We have other sources from
which we derive income, and there
!. fore are not compelled to make as
large profits as if we depended alone
upon our own business for support.
Lastly, all we ask of our friends,
or others, is, come and see for
yourselves.
N, B.-Until we move (Which
will be about the middle of April
we shall continue to offer q great
majority of our stock at half price
and all Staple Goods at bargain
If you want goods cheap, now il
your chance.
Respectfully

family during the night, search was made early
III tho morning, and his clothes was soon found

supposed by having a towel that he went there
to wash Near tho wharf, the water is shoal,
tut OF feet from the wharf, it lis Six or eight
feet deep. He might accidentally have stepped
nat too far and drowned, as he could not swim.
