IN the Orlck OufluinK, ano make uepOslt'
Here we flnd the cashier, Mr.. j. NJ Ly-
brand, and his assistant, Mr.. j. 4.
Gready, all smiles, for they well
know when a newspaper reporter
comes in 1t means "buslness." This
bank receives deposits, makes collec-
lions, and does q general banking BUSH
ness. Mr.. Lybrand, the cashier, is one
Of our best and most enterprising citizens,
and deseryedly popular. But why larry.
Our cigar has burned out, and Eddy Crow,
the handsome and accommodating clerk
In
j.. y. GREADY & co.'s DRUGSTORE,
beckons us 10 the show case, and after
presenting us with bunch Of pure Ha-
yanas, informs us that since the big holi-
day run the house has been constantly
replenishlng its already large stock OF
drugs, paints, oils, books, stationery,
perfumes, &C., and that they will in
future, as in the past, endeavor to please
all In quality and price, and we believe
II, for liberal, enterprising business men
always do It. But cigar always did re-
mind us that lemonade or light soup
pcrnong would be next in order, and
right in the next door we find
MIR. BOB WILLIAMS,
who has recently purchased the interest
Of Mr.. Mcdonald, and while we sip the
delightful "scup" he Is telling us that
he will remodel the house from stem to
stern, and after the carpenters, painters,
frescoers and paper-hangers get through,
II will look like a new place. This house
always did pride itself on keeping none
but the best, and its reputation will lose
nothing In the hands of Mr.. Williams lie
calls especial attention TO HIS fine old
whiskies, brandies and wines, so valuable
and Indispensable In cases OF sickness, and
to smokers his stock OF foreign and do
nestle cigars offers all they eau possibly
desire. Reluctantly we depart, for Mr..
Williams Ia clever gentleman and good
citizen. Nevertheless, business suggests
that we "moye up" and right next door
we lind the
ToNsoRIAL PARLoR
OF Beverly Ware, than whom a better
barber never put razor TO mans face.
Beverly has been shaving us seven or
eight years, and we know whereof we
speak. While waiting for "sea-foam, -
Beverly tells US he has ordered new fur
niture, new carpet, another chair, and
will reflt his coy little shop completely
Customers will always find Beverly con
deck" and up TO all the latest wrinkles in
the tonsorial art But our chronometer
has run down, and as
MIR. NJ. H. cLoPToN,
the matchmaker and ieweler, is Just next
door Wen step in who-we-e-e! IA
great big show case crammed full of brand
new rings, pins, brooches, watches, spec
tacles, etc, and while he winds and sets
our watch, Brother Clopton says he will
be satisfied with very small margin on
all his beautiful goods, and that he has
goods that would make very suitable
presents for ladies, gentlemen and chill
dren. After he has presented us with n
heavy plain gold ring and large diamond
shirt-stud, with profuse thanks we take
our leave to find ourself next in the
house of
MEshRS, A. n, 4 A. IL. AFFORD,
dealers in hardware and machinery ,furni-
ture, tilware, wagons and wagon-ware,
smooth and barbed wire, guns, pistols,
crockery, queenswaTe, glassware, earthen-
ware and woodenware. They also keep
in stock q complete assortment OF the
justly celebrated Charter Oak stoves.
Messrs. Russell and Shade Simmons were
both on hand as usual, and working like
beavers waiting on customers The
Messrs. Afford do a 1ourishing business.
Capt. A. N. Afford, the senior member of
the firm, is mayor of Wills Point, and he
is the right man in the right place. But
here is our young friend, Jake Mamie,
just stepped In to buy new cleaver, so
we will go with him into the
MEAT MARKET
OF Mr.. w. w. Mcleod, and see him WELD
1t. Here Is beef, mutton, pork, venison,
wild turkey and everything SO neatly ar.
ranged, but Jacob says he is Just going
out "to KILL" so we order one of Mr.. Nc
Leod's best rigs (and he has some fine
turn-outs) from his stables little further
down the street, and accept Jake's polite
invitation to go along and see how It is
done. The team IL brought up, and MIR.
Mac requests that we drive by the harness
and saddlery shop of
MIR. G II. BRUCE,
To have n slight alteration made in the
elegant double set of harness lust pur.
chased the day before. Mr.. Bruce, with
his handsome assistant, Henry Collier,
soon have everything righted, for they
understand their business. While walt
ing, glance into the shop Is sufficient to
convince us that the stock is complete,
and Just rs Mr., Bruce whispered, ayes,
and at the lowest prices"
II. ROSE
ran out of his confectionery and fruit
stand on the corner, and yelled as we
drove rapidly away; "Nuts fur de la-tees
und gandees fur de babies, und dot grab
april cider, also" But yonder goes
Jake, and we must follow. Dear reader.
did you ever try to keep up with a
butchers wagon2 Well, if you didn't
we would advise You not to try, unless
you have got rafting good team, but
we had II (for Mr., Mcleod don't keep
any other kiud) and We "got there" TO
make "a long story short, within lust
eleven minutes after the steer was driven
into the slaughter-house, Jake had killed,
dressed, quartered and placed II into the
wagon. Fact, we timed him. Returning,
we pulled up in front OF
pEAN BROS,
on the corner OF Fifth, where we started
from, and on entering met MIR. Henry
Dean, who said eve are selling dry
goods, groceries, farming implements
and everything needed by the farmer, at
low prices, for cash, cattle
and country produce generally. We think
IL much better, both for US aud for our
20 allow them fair cash
puce Tor their cattle and produce and
then sell them supplies at the lowest cash
prices, than TO sell them on time and take
ON their cattle, crops and
other personal property; for when goods
are sold on time 10 or 10 per cent. must
be added MS interest ON the money in
vested besides 20 or 80 per cent. adj
tional must be added TO cover losses on
collections and to pay attorneys fees,
which IL necessary expense resulting
from the credit system. We have
adopted this plan, and we guarantee
