4 FTER ample and thorough prepar-
II alton we beg to announce the inaug
uration Of our Sixth Annual Sale of
Linens and Housekeeping Goods, aud
White Goods, beginning April 18th
and continuing until May l5;b, cover
ing period of Thirty Days, during
which time we propose to distribute
the best intrinsic values ever offered by
us at any corresponding time since We
have been in business.
Our large outlet commands for us
the lowest possible prices from the
makers, and buying in such large
quantities we can name prices which
wchld otherwise be impossible, hence
the benefits accruing from our large
purchases are shared by every indi-
vidual buyer.
We pay especial attention to the sup
plying constitutions, Boarding Houses
Hotels, Restaurants, Steamboats, and
Summer Cottages, and are always
ready to bid upon the largest of con-
tracts.
1t would be impossible to put fifth
of our inducements in a space Of this
size, hence, have confined ourselves to
those most noteworthy.

A COnlpronl Use.

a CONh prOHIlse.
We learned on Tuesday that Mess. A paeus
Haislip and Thos H. Ching, the Only Two ap-
plicanis from this county for the command Of
the oyster police sloop Katie Hines, had effect
ed compromise by which Capt. HaisIip was
to- be the commander and Capt Ching the first
officer of the sloop, and the respective salaries
OF the two positions was to be equally divided.
The aggregate salaries of tie two positions is
81 $50. This will give the sum Of S675 to
zach officer. 1t was generally thought that
Capt Haislip's chances we're best for the posi-
ton of commander, but Capt Ching has been
making nn earnest fight for the place, hence
the compromise. All parties satisfied with
the arrangement made.
