OUR BUSINESS MEN.

| There is no town in Nevada with the same
population which has finer stores, filed with
frst-ciass 90 d., OF large variety than CarsoI
City. A visit to any of our well-knowh
houses will convince any one OF the fact. in
pursua, ce of our business as a faithful
clronicler, we have been visiting some of our
polite store keepers, we propose doing regu-
Larry; reporting from time to time their
stock aud giving our impression of them
generally. We can only say that they are,
one and all, a gentlemanly set of men.
MORRIS AND COMPANY.
These gentlemen have the neatest arranged
store we have seen for long while. Their
stock, which consists of dry goods and the
usual small wares found in stores of that
kind, ladies shoes, carpets, oil cloths, ETC., is
very complete and beautifully kept, and from
a number of fair faces we saw in confidential
"dicker" at their counters, we should say
that Morris q Company either know their
business to perfection or have superior goods.
1t is the kind of store we would like to clerk
in, and it's the store we should like, if we
we're a lady, in such case to deal in.
oLCovICH BROTHERS.
We once indexed library and at another
time began to copy Dictionary, and yester
day we undertook to make short list Of the
stock of Olcovich Brothers, bus we brought
up in despair before We had well begun. We
started on dry goods, but the display was too
much for u.s. and we came down simply to
" dry goods. Furnishing goods came next
in still greater variety; and then such an
array of trimmings and fancy article Well,
We gave it up, and passed into the department
where heavy goods are displayed, where a
mOnstrous stock Of clothing boots and shoes,
oil cloths and carpets, wall paper, hats and
caps, and even bedding, almost made us be- |
lieve that it was the Institute Exhibition at |
San Francisco. Nessrs. Olcovichs' stock of |
boots and shoes is immense, and they showed |
rs some Eastern made ladies' shoes and GUS
om made boots of very superior quality. |
These custom made boots they say are a
speciality. Altogether, it is bazaar of every
hing that is needed in personal outfit or for
house furnishing, and everything is of the
pest quality. We were not only highly pleased |
ont agreeably surprised by our visit to the
Olcovich Brothers establishment

A Snake Hugging a Little Girl.

Flora Agnew, IL years old, living in
New York City, has been visiting at the
home of her uncle, Henry Burns, "a
miles north of Hunters Range, Pa.
She has frequently gone with her cousin,
a little girl about the same age as her.
self, to drive the COWS to the pasture.
Last Sunday morning her cousin was
sick, and Flora went alone with the
COWS. When she had driven them to
the pasture she started for the house,
but, becoming tired, she sat down on a
messy mound to rest. She had hardly
seated herself before she saw huge
black snake coiled on a cluster of laurel
bushes. She screamed and started to
run, but the snake darted at her and cir
cled itself about her body. She cried at
the top of her voice and ran, with the
snake drawing its folds tighter and
tighter around her, till she fell down
with fright and exhaustion. Her cries
brought her uncle, who cut the snake
in two with his knife, and released her.
1t was some time before the little girl
could speak. The imprint of the
snakes folds was left on her body. The
snake measured six feet six inches in
lengthy. Y. San.

JudiciOus Advertising.

A man was denouncing newspaper
advertising to crowd of listeners.
"Last week." said he, "I had an um-
brella stolen from the vestibule of the
Church. 1t was gift; and,
valuing it very highly, 1 spent double
its worth in advertising, but have not
recovered it." How did you word
your advertisement" asked a merchant.
" Here it is" said the man. producing
slip cut from a newspaper. The mer-
chant took it and read, "Lost from the
yestibule of the Church, last Sun
day evening, black silk umbrella
The gentleman who took it will be hand
somely rewarded by leaving it at No. -
San Fernando Street" "Now," said
the merchant I" am a liberal advertiser,
and have always found that it paid me
well. A great deal depends upon the
manner in which an advertisement is
put. Let us try for your umbrella
again, and if you do not acknowledge
then that advertising pays, l will pur-
chase you a new one." The merchant
then took a slip of paper from his pock-
ct and wrote, " If the man who was seen
to take an umbrella from the vestible of
the -- Church last Sunday evening
does not wish to get into trouble and
have a stain cast upon the Christian
character which he values so highly, he
will return it to No. - San Fernando
Street. He is well known" This duly
appeared in the paper, and on the fol
lowing morning the man was astonished
when he opened the front door of his
residence. On the porch lay at least
dozen umbrellas of all shades and
sizes that had been thrown in from the
sidewalk, while the front yard was liter
ally paved with umbrellas. Many OF
them had notes attached to them, say
ing that they had been taken by mis-
take, and begging the loser to keep the
little affair quiet. Times.
