The Lingards at Carson.

The Lingards appeared in Carson We'd
nesday evening. The Index has this to
say of them: Carson enjoyed a most ad-
mirable performance by the Lingards and
comedy troupe in the play Of 'The
Tutor" The comedy is Of that quiet
humor that produces the most perfect
enjoyment. The Lingards cannot be
exceiled in their peculiar parts, and the
fame acquired by them all over the world
is justly deserved. The company were
we'll up in their parts, and gave to
the performance that success which
never fails the Lingards. We hope
this splendid comedy troupe may
soon favor Carson with a repetition Of
| their excellent acting. The audience was
| large. The orchestral music was exquisite

Our Reasons.

In fact, we sell all goods at San Francisco
prices, and NO HUMBUG. For the benefit of
those who want to know how we sell Goods so
cheap, we will explain Our buyers are al
ways in the market, and are thoroughly con-
versant with the Dry Goods business, being
brought up to it from childhood, and therefore
know the texture of any piece of Goods, and
market all the time know when they see a
piece of new goods, and no old stock that has
been in the store for years can be pslmed of
on them as being of the latest pattern. And
as we buy our goods for cash we get a certain
percentage which those who do not cannot OBJ
tain. These are some of the reasons why we
sell so cheap. Another reason is we sell for
cash, thereby lessehing our expenses. If we
had to keep Q set of books we would need
more help. And again, we do not believe in
the theory of charging good customers with
the debts of others to make good their losses.
