Our MERoHANTs.-The new store
Of Walter Edwards was opened to
the public on Wednesday. A large
and attractive stock is here displayed.
With the low prices asked the wants
Of cash buyers can be quickly and
satisfactorily supplied
Hartmans, eived large
accessions of uuring the week.
By removing partition he has given
new space to his new goods and ad-
ded very much to the symmetry Of
things.
Hitchins Bros. are in receipt of con-
signments to recruit stock recently
diminished by heavy sales. They are
bound to keep up to the wants of trade.
For similar reasons B. Stern & Co.
have to keep close watch upon their
lines lest their large sales run
below low water mark. They keep
full up.
Beall, Baush & Co. are filling up
and selling off with great rapidity,
and the establishment is evidently
doing well.
A monster pile Of new goods has
just been placed in position in Shaffer
& NUNS store.
VIM. Payne & Co. recently made a
drive" in the price of -four which
drew good trade.
Messrs. Wineland, Wright, .Jefries,
HOLE, Keller, Jandorf, Bear, Tl,rasher,
McLuckie and Evans, are holding
their own and keeping up with the
popular demand.
The only complaint We have to
find is that there is insufficient regni-
ton of the value of printers ink as
an adjunct Of real enterprise. Some,
it is true, advertise, but mostly in a
way too half-hearted to be as efficient
as it might be. Others do not hing in
this line, just as though each b ad de-
signed his store as sort of her Mitage
that nobody should discover, nd, il
found out, nobody should know what
is in it, or for what purpose the estab.
lishment is kept up.
For cash dealers there is othice
more certain than that prompt,
terse announcements of bargains il,
qualities and prices of goods wiG bring
trade. This, Of course, must be sup
plsmented by notifications of prom
ises and clever treatment Ct custo-
mers. These two things, however,
usually go together in all respects. A
merchant who pays attention to win
ming trade by all the means at COM
mand is merchant who keeps up his
stock, and so on.
but leaving this outside, the
amounts of new goods put in here this
fall indicate considerable confidence
in the business of the near future. We
believe it is well founded. The signs
OF the times proclaim the steady ap-
proach of better times. Iron and real
estate are ION the rise" both of which
are good fnger-boards in trade. The.
winter once passed, it is believed by
good authorities that next years work
in this region will be quite as good as.
the best of the past. Stout hearts
and willing hands will do very much
to weather through our trials, just as
the best way to get rid of debts is to-,
pay them,

SMENNRR AND THE FAIR.-Doubt-

to call at at the Marble yard and es-
tablishment of A. E. Smenner, No. 8
10 and IL South Centre street, where
can be found the largest assortment
and finest display of Marble work ever
seen in this section. Persons wanting
Headstones, Monuments,or other GEM
etery work, can buy at less prices than
ever, whilst those those who may not
want anything in that line ought to
call and look at the fine works of art
on exhibition, as a view of the Marble
yard is really as attractive as any dis
play in Cum berland.
Smenner will also have superb
display on the Fair grounds, including
bust of President Hayes, cut in mar.

small house in Brownsville was dis
covered to be on fire. A large crowd
gathered but owing to the scarcity Of
water and the great Roadway obtain
ed by the flames, all attempts at saw

occupied by Rebecca Williams, de-
serving colored woman. Part of her
household effects were saved. A
lamp carried by her son up stairs set
fire to some leaf tobacco, from which
it was communics ted to the clothing
hanging about the house, thence the
conAagration. No insurance. The
fire department was on hand in
prompt order.

DEATH OF AN OLD AND EsTIMABLE
C1T1zEN.-Wednesday morning, 10th
inst, at 4 o'clock, JOHN NEFF died at
his residence in this place at the ad-
vanced age of nearly 81 years. Mr..
Netf had been for several years past
suffering from the infrmities of age,
but bore all with great christian for
titude. He was an old and exempla-
nv member of the N. e. Church and
died in the faith he had SO long pro-
fessed. As a citizen he was honest,
upright, popular, and. in matters of
principle, steadfast and immovable.
Large-hearted and benevolent, he was
a true type of a man in every sense.
He was soldier of the war Of 1872
and member of the Maryland Leg
islature three terms between 1886
and 1874, and held many other prom
inent local positions during his long
life, and came out of all with great
credit. He thus leaves a record to
his children worthy of pride and en-
ulstion. OF tn csc four survive him
John and Charles, physicians,of Balti-
more Thomas G., of Eckhart, and
Mrs. Peter Smouse, of Cumberland.
The funeral took place yesterday at
the M. E. Church, Rev. DR.. Edwards
officiating,
