What they have TO offer.
SHELDON Il co.

VIM thty hN't W
SHELDON 81 co.
We first called in Oh Messrs. Sheldon
81 Co. and found store full of goods
aud customers. Every salesman was
busily engaged, and for the time being
at least they could not complain of the
dizziness of trace. Some new elegant
leatherette celluloid toilet and perfume
sets attracted our attention, by their
novelty and beauty of design. Their
stock of general merchandise is large
and complete in all its appointments.
They make a specially of fine boots and
shocN, of overy grade, size and descrip-
ton.
II. b. DODGE.
keeps large stock of shelf hardware
and all the best agricultural implc-
ments. His stock is not what one
would generally select Christmas
present from, but he is selling lots of
goods nevertheless. Mr.. Dodge and
his light weight clerk Club" attend TO
their customers with the urbanity of
polished courtiers.
BECKwITH 81 co.
brag with reason of their stock of
boots and shoes of the latest style, and
patterns, and think they can suit any
customer who is not too fastidious to be
suited. In the line of dress goods they
have everything that ingenious man
has made TO please the fancy and taste
OF woman. Goods for the rich and
goods for the poor at prices that cannot
be reached by competitors. silks, black
and colored, brocade silks, velyets and
plushes, trimmings and thousand
and one other things, make up the at
fractions of their store, in addition to
elmer man"-the grocery department.
Call on them and You will be squarely
dealt with and courteously treated.
The possession of that new and impos.
ing block doesn't make bit of differ.
ance with them. They are not proud
in an unseemly way, but of course can
not help having pardonable pride in
their long continued success.
FRANK A. BOND 81 BRo.
We next called on Messrs. Frank A.
Bond IL Bro, and though we were not
purchasing we were treated "white,"
as we always are when we go there.
The proprietors understand the art
of pleasing their customers, and are
ably seconded by their courteous clerks.
In groceries, ready made clothings,
hats, caps, boots, shoes, and rubbers,
we fail to see how any one cannot get
what he or she desires at Bonds.
The store is not only full but runs ov-
er into large new storehouse, and
the numbers going In and out attest the
good will and appreciation of Messrs.
Bond and Bro. by their customers.
TIM. CHAPMAN Il co.
Everything that person ordinary
wishes TO buy is what Il. M. Chapman
Il Co. aim TO keep on hand TO please
their numerous customers. They tell
us they are selling at cost, and below
cost, and parties who Idesire TO econo-
mize should price their goods before
concluding negotiations elsewhere.
"Thad" was not in, but his genial
factotum, II. w. Fletcher, did the honors
with the grace for which he is noted.
The firm are in the old Vallette block
and are rushing things for the holiday
trade. They have also an emporium
for pianos, organs and sewing-machine
The musical party of the programme
Is new departure, but we think it will
prove successful one.
PETER. CHAMPAGNE.
Although we do not intend to"set up
housekeeping this week or next, we
called on Peter Champagne and were
much delighted with his stock of furni-
ture. We picked ont a Christmas pres
ent " for our better half [prospeciive)
an elegant coffin-we meant an elegant
toilet set. The beauty of Cham pagne's
stock is that 1t is all new, and he says
the reason why he is selling so cheap is
that the goods were bought at the
lowest cash prices. We hope none of
our friends will have to patronize any
coffin store, bnt those who have that mis-
fortune cannot do better than call on
Mr.. Champagne.
J. e. NEGUs,- MERCHANT TAILOR.
We found Mr.. Negus, that "outter of
all cutters" behind his table cutting a
suit from one of his recently imported
patterns. IL made us feel mean because
we couldn't have a suit ourselves. Ii
II man wants something that he can
pnt on and then go into New York or
Boston without letting the "bloods"
know by the cut of his jib that he is a
countryman, he should order a suil.from
among the manifold patterns which
Negus always has on hand. His stock of
gents wear, ready-made clothing and
hats and caps will show of well with
any In town.
One OF the greatest trials that house keepers
have 10 undergo during the hot wea ther. is that
