MEMS FURNISHING GOODS
Q N L Y

Having for years seen the evil in trying
to keep up stock in half dozen or more
different lines of goods, Tor what is COM
monty called q mixed or general stock }
having little stock in each line, and real
ly no assortment of anything in any line,
we have determined to leave out every
thing except Clothing and Mems Furnish
ing Goods, and hence forward deal in this
one line exclusively.
We are now receiving and opening up as
Fine a Stock of Clothing and Mems Fur
nishing Goods.as was ever Exhibited In the
Northwest, to which we invite your in
spection. We shall endeavor to keep up,
at all seasons of the year, Complete line
in Mems Boys Youths and Childrens
Wear, and also Everything Appertaining
to Furnishing Goods, such as White and
Colored Shirts, Collars and Cuffs, Silk and
Linen Handkerchiefs, Neck Wear, Socks,
Suspenders, Underwear. &C., &c.
Having abundant capital, and can pay
cash for all our purchases, and buying
direct from the Manufacturers, we will
Guarantee the Lowest Cash Price on every
article offered for sale. We shall add the
smallest living margin to cost and adhere
strictly to the One Price System. Hoping
that the public may appreciate this new
move on our part, and faver US with their
patronage, when in need of any thing in
our line.

ding, &c. &C., and provisions sufficient TO
keep them for one year. Prior to their
arrival In st. Paul very generous contri-
buttons had been made by the leading
merchants of that city and Minneapolis, to
alleviate their pitiable condition.
About six thousand dollars were collect
ed by the Bishop and the Pioneer press;
two suits of clothes fer each man, woman
and child, and provisions valued at five
hundred dellars. Anthony Kelly and the
millers Of Minneapolis gave one ton of
flour, and other supplies of miscellaneous
nature. Situations having been procured
for the adults and children over ten years
of age, they remained in st, Paul and their
earnings will be sent to their parents.
These emigrants will be located in the
adjoining county of Big Stone, between
Graceville and the halfway house, upon
the indemnity railroad lands; and in few
years we expect to see these people who
have just escaped from the jaws of starva-
ton in their own down trodden country,
by toll and industry, accumulate for them
selves and their families in the new world,
a comfortable competency.
Pursuant to q cali of the Chairman of
the Republican village committee, eau
Gus was held at the Court house, Tuesday
evening last, at 7:3O o'clock, for the pnr.
pose of electing five delegates to represent
the village of Morris in the County Con.

The emigrants will probably be here in

We are now about to have livery and
