The TIMES was the recipient on
Saturday of sample ofassOrted pickles
from the Diamond State Picking COM
pany of this town. We have never
seen anything of the kind put up in a
; handsOmer manner. This company has
certainly every indication of success, if
we may Judge from the favor that
their mixed pickles, gherkins, chill
t sauce and chow chow are received.
THIS is your best oppOrtunity,tO get
a good gold watch, cheap. Judging
: from the number that Mr.. J. V. Smith
/ has already sold, you stand a good
O chance with his offer of 20 per cent dis
count, to get a rare bargain. p

S row night. The company is a strong
