A TRAMP THROUGH TOWN.

: Trads-Wen Equipped for tho
. Holidays.
! After reading the proceedings Of
/ the present economic Legjsla, ure, some
rest and recreation was necessary, 50
we concluded to take''a tramp through
town. In order to get good start,
we went to the depot and had the
benefit of the down grade; we had just
gotten up our speed. when-something
stopped US. we looked up and found we
had run into "a good MILL" owned and
controlled by
Domi1icS s. Lovelace.
And a good one it is too, fully equipped
for all kinds of grinding and on short
notice can turn out as fine meal or
grists as any in the State.
Our friend Loveiace was too busy to
talk, so we did not linger long, but
pushed on until we arrived at the es-
| tablishment of
is. Russell.
Here in this we'll kept, we'll filled store
you can get anything you need, and
whether you need it or not, you can get
it ''all the samen if you are mind to,
by simply asking one of his polite
clerks. You will find Mr.. Russell al
ways on hand to give you a smile of
welcome and sell you just what you
wish to pay for it.
Leaving Russell's. we had made
pre:iy good headway and thought. we
shouIo surely climb the hill with the
amount of steam we had on, but Ed.
Morris, who is with
! II. C. Sunme 8,
stepped out a1d stopped US. He did not
ask us to take anything, but wanted to
show US how they had lately changed
things by painting. &c. Paint isa good
thing put on with a brush, but when
put on with tas'e. it adds more than
you would imagine. Not only had the
outside felt The effects Of new coat,
but also the Inside was made glad by
additions too numerous to mention
now. He:e you can find everything to
refresh and gladden. inner man. Ed,
who is both genial and polite, will "lay
aside his fiddle and bow" and give you
exactly what you call for.
Pushing on few Steps we hear the
buzz OF voices and the tramp of busy
feet, we look and see

up to their elbows in goods, so with
their clerks. We stepped in to find out
whether it was clearing out sale tnat
attracted the people, but learned, to
our astonishment, that it was rather a
dull day with them. Goods of every
! description, and plenty of them, the
man, womal or child who could not
be suited, or pleased in that store,
should not stop this side of n. Y. when
he or she goes out shopping. So much
for push and energy. Both members Of
the firm are young men of fine busi'
ness qualifications and have the pecu.
liar knack Of pleasing every one and
making new friends every day. Theil
clerks always wear happy conteutec
look, that suggests good treatment and
plenty to eat. We would have stayed
longer but felt lonesome with no one
to ialk to, SO "took up our bed anC
walked" up to the clothing Emporium
of

popular young men. At a glance yor

business; their store always looks as
neat and attractive as q young girl, anc

clerks, no wonder the girls ike to visit
