making SUITS to ORDER. We
employ the best Cutters to be found,

with good hands. We know that
when a person orders a suit they like
to have it soon, and then to have it
promptly.
Again, we invite you to call

unable to tell what we have, but are
sure that one trial will convince you
that ALL we have said, and MORE

A dispatch from Baltimore to the
Philadelphia Pres says; A Repub-
lican mass meeting was broken up
near that city some days ago by the
appearance on the scene Of three tame
bears, thus causing the negroes in ats
tendance at the meeting to leave there
and give their attention to the bears.
They further claimed that it was a
fiendish trick On the part Of some
Democrats to break up the meeting.
Well, to look the whole matter square
in the face we think it was rather 4
'bearish" trick.

YOU
ARE INVITED.

Every person who reads this Is
especially invited to call and see our
large stock of MEMS, YOUTHS,
BOYS and CHILDRENS CLOTH
ING. Our trade has been constantly
increasing since we opened here, and
we feel assured that it is but in its
infancy, and as each succeeding sea-
son approaches we make still greater
preparations. Wilmington is a City
of fifty thousand inhabitants, and has
thickly.settled surrounding country,
with a people who demand to be well
dressed and require the best goods the
market affords. To meet these de-
mands we started our place, and have
constantly tried our best to please the
people. We think our success ex-
plains how well we have done it.
Well tell you how we do.
We buy largely and always for Cas- h
We represent our Goods to be only
what they are, but always keep the
best to be found, prefering rather to
miss the sales than to sell priced
trashy stuff. We know one customer
well suited, insures dozen others
just now we are prepared with Fail
Stock Of Handsome Overcoats, Men.
Suits, Youths Suits, Boys Suits ant
Childrens Suits. The greater part o.

THE lecture course fey er appears to
have struck pretty hard several of the
country papers. There is Il good deal
of talk, but very little done towards
getting the lectures under way. We
mentioned something about series Of
lectures here during the winter, but
there seems little inclination On the
part OF the citizens 10 start a series, or
else it is TOO much trouble in getting
them up. There is no indication now
of course in this town. Perhaps
some Of the younger folks will start
something to make long evenings
profitable.
