TOM O'sULLIVAN,
Importer Of Fine Liq-
uOrs, Wines, Cigars, Etc.

For many years Mr.. Tom Sullivan
at 1856 Main street has enjoyed an en-
viable reputation as an importer oil
6ue Scotch and Irish WHISTLES, and
ales, brandies, wines, cigars, etc. He
stands at the very head Of his bust
ness. Those who buy from him know
that they obtain a pure article, the
best that can be had in this country or
acI oss the water-the best in the world.
lie deals not only in imported liquors
of which he always keeps on hand a
fine line, but in the best American
goods bought direct from the manu-
facturers. In addition to this, he
keeps also a fine stock of choice cigars.
For a long time he kept, and still has
on hand, a peculiar brand Of cigar,
manufactured to order, known as
Toms Samples" This has had a
long and popular run, and cannot be
had elsewhere. 1t is as well known 70.
a class of critical smokers as Piper
Heidsick is known to drinkers Of
champagne. OF late Mr.. Sullivan
has added a new attraction for lovers
of the weed, and christened it
TON O'Sullivan's Little Democrat"
This is rapidly growing in popular IA
vor, and is possibly superior to its i'm
mediate predecessor. This is a matter,
however, to be decided by the public
aud it is likely to be an open question
for some time to come. Democrats
will smoke this cigar because they
like the name, the favor and the hap
py effect. Republicans smoke it be-
cause they like to burn up anything
that has the name or scent of demo
crat" on it. Greenbackers smoke the
" Little Democrat because they
imagine they are absorbing the
democratic party and likely to
soon come into power. The
Independents smoke it because
they don't care a cent for politics or
parties, but like good cigars. The
name of the brand was given in honor
of the plucky little cannon which is
occasionally heard on the bluff OF in
Court square, to commemorate some
party victory. 1t make more and bet
ter noise to its length than any piece
of ordnance in the United States. Its
very smoke is inspiring and exhilera-
ting. even as the smoke Of the Little
Democrat cigar, which charms the
senses and puts a quietus on dull
care. This is a good name for a pure
cigar, and a fine Itheme-it is a kind Of
democracy that all parties can take
straight. But we only started out to
say that Mr.. Sullivan, the genial,
open hearted, fair dealing Irishman,
one Of the noblest of his race, keeps a
very fine stock of domestic and i'm
ported liquors and cigars; that he is
fully prepared to supply old and new
customers, and the public at large.
Hei is one ofthe few retail dealers in
the south who import directly from
foreign manufacturers Of ale, gin,
whisky. brandy, cigars, etc. Those
who call on him once will call again.
