HOME MATTERS.
ii. j. Gillen.

In speaking OF the mammoth stock of goods
purchased by Mr.. Gillen during his sojourn of Il
month in the New York market, the RepuJlican
of Thursday very truthfully says:
Once more the popular store of II. j. Gillen is
filed from top to bottom with a new and i'm.
mense stock of goods of all the departments I'M
der his management. Mr. Gilen has just re.
turned from the East where he found opportu-
mites to purchase for cash at close figures, and
with his usual good judgment, he did purchase
judiciously, selecting such goods as the wants Of
the community with which he deals demanded
This stock, as above stated, is now in store and
open for inspection, and, we may safely say, i;
is the largest stock ever shown in that building
nor is it inferior to that OF any house in the
county. Purchased for cash, it will be sold for
cash prices. which will win for Mr. 6. an unusu-
ally large and popular trade. We shall now ex-
pect to see revolution in prices, else II. j, Gil
len will largely mOnopolize the trade.

BOOTS AND SHOES
The new stock was Just received and the boxes
yet unopened when our report was made up, and
so large pile of boxes was about the door that
entrance could scarcely be egjctcd.
The entire stock has been purchased for the
purpose of selling goods cheap, and from the de
cline that has taken place, it will be shown that,
on standard goods, prices will be much below
those of sixty days ago.

call and a cordial invitation is extended to every
one to visit this emporium OF low prices and
good goods.

Ia addition to the many excellent things
enumerated above, we desire to have a word to
cay in regard to his
GROCERY DEPARTMENT.
Stocked to repetion, he is offering one of the
choicest stocks ever opened in this market, at
prices which defy competition. This line of
goods is one IN which Mr.. Gilen is thoroughly
posted and was bought with q view to sell
cheaper than the cheapest. If he can make any
money at the prices at which he is offering them,
We feel justified in saying he is bound to get
rich. 1t is matter of much importance to all of
US as to where were We can purchase the neCes-
aries Of life for the least money, and We would
advise our readers to price this stock, and if
money is not to be saved by purchasing there
from.
