Kleeman and Harry Joseph. All can
be as well clothed here, for little
money, as a modest man would expect.
Our hardware houses, are kept by
Fox & Smith and Turnkey & Ed
er, wide-awake, honorable business
men, who have at all times large and
excellent stocks.
In the drug line our city is hard to
beat-there being four first class drug
stores all on one street. They are mod
els of neatDess and order, and the pro-
prietors, G. N. Byers, MeCauley &
Co., Owen & Moore and S. B. Stewart,
furnish pure and fresh articles Of drugs
and medicines, and a variety of no.
tions, such as are usually kept in the
best houses of this kind.
We have but one exclusive boot and
shoe establishment, and that is kept by
vi. Williams, who has lately engaged
in the business, and has already built
up a large trade. Give him fair
showing and he will shoe every man,
woman and child in the country at the
lowest figure.
In the line of tineware, stoves, ETC.,
J. J. Hamlet and Kincannon, Wood
& Co. keep large and well assorted
stocks, and manufacture great variety
of articles in their line. The latter
house, Kincannon, Wood & Co., also
have an extensive assortment of china
and queensware, hardware and house
furnishing goods.
The two furniture houses here keep
excellent stocks, and no necessity ex-
lists for sending off for articles of this
kind, as you can do as well here as any
where, in the retail way.
G. l.. Cooke has jewelry store and
china and queensware establishmentin
the same building-the stock in both
departments being full, large and ele-
CANT.
In the millinery line we have three
or four substantial houses who supply
choice goods to their customers.
Two large merchant-tailoring estab-
lishments, by Johnson& Mass and Nc
Fadden & Co. supply all the demands
of the public. These firms keep good
goods and finished workmen.
Our confectioners, Ligon & Ely, NJ.
Mattill and G. Everette, keep ample
stocks to supply the city and surround
ing country, of the best to be found in
any market.
We have three ably conducted bank
ing houses, whose vaults are always
supplied with enough currency to move
all the produce Of the country, and to
do all legitimate banking business.
We have two good hotels and a
number of first rate private boarding
houses, which would rejoice to accom-
modate about ten times as many tram
sient customers as they do.
Our city can boast of four excellent
livery stables, with the fifth in the
course of erection.
Two of the best Touring mills in the
United States are within our city linn
its, capable of grinding an immense
quantity of wheat, and always pro-
ducing a superior article of -four.
Two planning mills, upon a large
scale, are here. They are in constant
operation, filling orders, and do all
kinds of work in unsurpassed style.
Our city foundry is conducted by
men who thoroughly understand the
business. Here you will find the cele-
brated tobacco screw, and can procure
castings, ETC., of nearly every kind.
Recently, the enterprising gentlemen
composing the GAINESVILLE agricultural
company, started pillow factory, and
have now added a foundry to make
their own castings. They are making
the best plows in use, and fnd ready
sale for all they turn cute
We have two carriage factories, con-
Quoted by the best workmen in the
land, and the character of their work
is not to be excelled.
Award & Orrell are manufacturing
the celebrated Irwin wagon, and re-
pair work of all kinds in their line.
They are competent wOrkmen.
We have five extensive and we'll ap-
pointed tobacco warehouses;, which
have been in operation for many years,
all doing large and lucrative bust
ness. We have also FIVE or six houses
for rehandling tobacco, so that all ia
cilities are afforded the planter here
for the sale of his tobacco. We be-
lievc this to be the best tobacco mar K
ct in the United States for the tobac-
cos raised in the GAINESVILLE district.
1t cannot be expected of US to emu
merate every branch of business in
detail, but in addition we have nearly
every branch of skilled labor in our
midst, all conducted by capable and
industrious artisans.
Plans are maturing to establish a
Cotton Factory, an Iron Wagon fac
tory, etc, with bright hopes for the
success of all.
Two newspapersare published here,
and as for size, appearance and ability,
will compare favorably with the news
papers of the country, but if they are
not better patronized than at present We
are fearful they will come up missing
some nice morning.
Mr.. S. Hodgson has marble yard,
where monuments, etc, can be pro-
cured of the most elaborate workman
ship, and at prices that defy eompeti-
ton.
We have given but birds eye view
of business here, but it will suffice to
show that ours is a city of no small
proportions in business point of view.
Our city is proverbial for its health
fulness-it being conceded fact that
