Drs. Greiner & Thomas are pleasant

Heretofore We have had occasion to al
lude to these professional gentlemen and
their extensive facilities for the success
important profession. and will now re.
mark that we have neither overesti.hated
their skill, nor exaggerated the extent
of the preparations with which they are
provided for the successful prosecution
Of their calling.
Down stairs again, and few steps up
the street take us to the old and well
known stand of Martin Scott, who is
justly entitled to the distinction of a
veteran in the dry-goods business. He
has occupied his present quarters for a
long ,ime-30 or 80 yelrs, perhaps-and
of course, has, during his large and con
tinuous business intercourse with the
people of the community, become known
to every body He has always been one
of our most prosperous merchants-pur-
sning his way cautiously and without
much "fussing" Recently, he has re-
arranged and improved his store-room
"a strong indication that he has no no.
tion of retiring from the field where he
has so long and steadfastly CLEANED. As
an assistant in Mr.. Scott's store, Mr.

Next to Scott's, in the recess corner of
the Square, Mrs. Burns has her milli

In the same building, two doors to the
eastward, VIM. L. Mains holds forth in
the clothing business. Stylish and serv-

may be had there at very reasonable
prices. Besides he keeps in stock ready
made clothing, hats, caps, neck ties. col
lars, etc, and among which are repre-
sented the latest kinks" in the matter
of fashion.
Next in order, comes J. c. Curran,
the Jeweler, whose quarters have re-
Gently undergone several important and
beneficial changes, and which now pre-
sent an unusually fine appearance.
Among the novelties" which he has
lately introduced" into his establish
ment, is laage and beautiful show case,
of unique design. This with it's con-
tents of elegant jewelry, watches, &c,
presents a decidedly attractive appear
ance. But it is not in the design of
these rambling remarks to particularize
to any great extent, and so we shall
close the matter as to Jesse, by the
broad statement that his establishment
is "frst-class" in all its appointments,
and equal to any and all demands upon
il that may legitimately arise in the
community in which it is located
Passing around the corner and down
South Columbus street n few steps, we
find our old friend John L. Williams
contentedly willing away the hours as
an agent for Uncle Sam in the capacity
Of p. NJ. (Which, according to Nasty,
means postmasterl. This, being one of
the few really pleasant and very easy o.
positions under the Government, it is.
