A WANT LONG FELT.

Our reporter called on the cntcrpr.S Mer-
chants,
MESSRS. ROBERTSON & GRIMBALL,
and we think it will be an advantage to our
ladies' Of Union County, to publish the inter
view. On stepping in the door we found the
store crowded with happy purchasers, and every
thing looked "a boom Of prosperity" After n
time the Senior awaited our pleasure.
Rtporter-Mr. Robertson. it is rumorcd that
you have bought an unusually handsome stock
for Union.
.Nr. R.-That is true. 1t is my intcntion to
keep first. class stock, and when North bought
that style of dress goods for ladies' that would
give satisfaction, both as regards quality and
price.
Rep.-iour introducing fine grades of Dry
Goods may Prove risky experiment, ~ most of
our ladies patronze Baltimore and New York to
supply their warirobes
Mr. R.--It has been the custom heretofore,
but am satisfied that after seeing our goods
and comparing the Northern retail prices with
ours, the bulk Of that trade will remain with
US We have the finest class of Dry Goods ever
brought to this town, and it will be our effort to
keep up the Stock.
Rep.--Snce your opening have the ladies
been attracted here?

could cry, "hold, enough - Calicos of every
hue were tossed, like cut flowers from Cor
isands" garden, before our already satcd gaze,
and so refreshing were the patterns, that they
reinvgornted us for further research So seek
ing pastures new, our eyes lodged upon n large
paper box that reposed in solitary state on
an upper shelf.
