Melvin. SiIcott & Co.

Having Just returned from New York and
Philadelphia, where they have been for
two weeks past, selecting goods tor this
market, are now fully prepared to sup
ply the millions with all the new and
fashionable goods to be found in the mar
kets. Their stock has been selected with
great care, and with especial reference to
the wants OF their trade. The styles are
beautiful beyond description, the fabric
excellent, and the prices so low, that to
reduce them, would be equivalent to Civ
ing them away.
Persons can only get an idea of the
beauty and magnitude of this immense
stock of goods by seeing it for themselves.
They are fully alive to the fact that goods
must be sold at low prices to command
the attention of cash buyers; and having
determined to sell goods for cash only, will
always be found at the very bottom in
price, They ask persons desiring to pnr-
chase Spring goods to give their stock a
careful examination, and thereby consult
their own interest.
All the new and beautiful styles in
Prints, Lawns, Brocdaed Damasas, Plain
and figured Deiains, Buntings, Cashmeres
in all the desirable colors, Plain and Bro
caded Silks and Satins, together with
every other new and desirable class OF
dress goods. In staple goods they lead
all other houses in goods, fabricks, and
low prices, as they ever have done. TheiI
stock of Carpets, of all grades is now
quite complete, and so low in price that
any one can afford to have this luxury.
Don't fail to call and examine their
goods before making your purchases. Re-
member the place, Northwest corner OF
Court and Main Streets, opposite the
Court House, Washington, o.

Adams, the Shoe Man.

Those who remember, know that two
years ago opened up in Melvin, Sileott
& Co.'s dry goods room a boot and shoe
store, known as "Adams, the Shoe Man,
Farmers Friend and Peoples Choice, ;"
and by close attention to business, and fair
prices, my trade so increased as to de-
mand larger room. So, having still q
desire to do them all the good | cad,
have associated with myself, in the same
business, another one of the same honest
family-my brother, Geo. II. Adams
known for years in orr market as agdry
goods man, and the best buyer in the bus
mess; and now, having taken the beau
tifnl room next door to First National
Bank, known as r. Millilzan's Bookstore,
and having been citizens of your county
FOR over twenty years, we now consider
Washington &. III. our permanent home.
and have determined to give the people
what they have so long desired, first
class Boot and Shoe Store. And, in order
to bring our place of business at once be-
fore the people, we secured one of Yer
mOnt's best Yankee artists, who has paint
ed on our large, front windows, in a
beautiful and artistic manner, seventeen
large RED STARS. Having already estab-
hshed the fact of being the Farmers
friend and peoples choice,'' we now re-
tire from the above caption. Returning
my many thanks to all my friends for
their very liberal patronage, we now don
the name for our establishment ssPHE
STAR SHOE HOUsE," and where we invite
everybody to come in and be friendly
whether it snits you to buy goods of ms
or not.
1 remain yours very respectfully,
j. NJ. ADAMS.
