and q better salesman or truer gen.
| tleman never sold bill of goods. Two
hardware stores, one by Messrs. J. ].
Casmire 4 Son, and the other by W.

the hardware business than these men.
"Jake" and "Morg" can hold their own
with anyone. One lumber yard manag-
ed by J. w. Coutant for S. A. Brown 4
20. Of whom it is unnecessary to speak.
This firm Is known all over the State,
and COutant can sell lumber to any
one. Two excellent livery stables, one
by s. T. Ellis and the other by Brown
| 4 Strickland. It's "Hobsons chOice''

but can do well enough with the first
one you strike. One harness shop by
Thomas 4 Crigler, who thoroughly
understand the business and are al
ways on hand. Two meat markets,
one by Shelter 4 McNutt, and one by
Kruger & Gray. It's too hard q
matter to tell which Is the best, and
either will do credit to the town. One
dry goods store, by Young & Clark,
both of whom are among the ''0ld set
tiers" and who will always do good
business. Tried and true they don't
need any recommendation. One bakery
and restaurant, by Chas. Often, and II
there is n better baker anywhere we
never met him. His word lis az good
as his bread and that can't he beat.
