Read the holiday proclamation of

though you may not want to buy any

to purchase some articles which you
have needed for a long time, but
could not afford. Mr.. Manning is a
gentleman as well as a merchant, and
his word can be depended on; it is
therefore unnecessary TO state that
everything he sells is JUST AS repre-
