SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
10. McTeer s. Co.'S Wholesale and Retail
Clothing Establishment

10. McTeer s. Co.'S Wholesale and Retail
Clothing Establishment.
There is probably no house in the city
which has made more rapid progress and
growth in business and shows more unmis-
taxable signs of prosperity than the above
named clothing establishment The inn
mense store building is crowded with goods
from one end to the other, and if you want
to talk with either of the Messrs. McTeer,
you just have to watch your opportunity,
as their store-room during business
hours is almost constantly crowded with
customers, and they are almost always
busy taking orders from country merchants.
The pavement in front of their building is
constantly crowded with boxes of goods
ready for shipment, and several Of their
clerks are always busy picking out the
goods, packing and boxing for shipment.
We have failed to see the store empty of
customers at any time We passed, and no
one can fail to be impressed favorably in
passing. There must be some rea-
son for all this. No other house
in similar trade has made sucn
rapid progress. The fact is
there are few men so well adapted to suit
their customers as the Messrs. McTeer.
Before they commenced the business they
were travelling men, and hence have an ex-
tensive acquaintance among the merchants
of all this section Of country knew just
their wants in the clothing line, and being
also well acquainted with the largest manu-
facturers, they were enabled to buy on close
margins and just such goods as they knew
would please their customers. Buying such
large quantities, they were enabled to lay
them down to the country merchants as
cheap as they could buy them East, and save
them the cost of trip there.
They doubtless have as complete stock
of goods in their line as can be found in any
city of the South, if not the most complete,
and it is not necessary for US to go into de-
tails, for those wanting anything in their
line. mems, youths Or boys clothing, or
gents furnishing goods, underwear, ETC.,
need only to call for it and they can be
suited, in any style or at any price from the
| cheapest to the very best. Don't fail to give
them call if you want a bargain.

THE canvass in Ohio opens in
earnest this week.

The news from the President this
morning is reassuring. Some appre-
hension has been felt that new com
plications were arising, involving the
right lung, but the fact that at $50
Yesterday afternoon his temperature
was normal, does not denote the
oresence of an abscess on that
organ. He is certainly gaining
strength. The fact that he was able
to sit for a half hour yesterday in
an easy chair shows this. But it is
evident that he has not passed the
danger point yet.

WASHINGTON, September 11.-Post-

to the abolition of Star route ex-

which will be submitted to the next
Congress, and postofice officials
who are cognizant of his view on
the subject, state that it is a prac

to be regarded favorably by Con

also decided to recommend a gen.
