n. r. Orr.
Z OF the various mercantile pursuits,
there are few Of more general interest
and utility to ladies' than those known
8s millinery and notion stores. Nothing
can add more to the attractiveness and
beauty Of womankind in general than
stylish and becoming hat or bonnet,
the designing and construction Of which
Is work OF art.
& During our rounds in this city we find
no house more worthy Of mention than
that of NJ. R. Orr, both from the extent
and class of goods kept in stock and his
large trade throughout this section. Be.
fore entering this establishment one is
attracted by the fine display Of goods in
the show windows, and by the skill
shown in their arrangement. The sales
room is large, well lighted and fitted up
in fine style in every respect, everything
pertaining thereto having metropolitan
air and finish which is seldom seen in
any house of the kind outside Of large
city. To the right, to the left, and
whichever way the eye may turn, 1t is
greeted with elegant goods. all harmo-
niously blended together, and arranged
with tasteful judgment. The stock en-
braces everything seasonable in milli-
merry goods, including flowers, feathers,
ribbons, velvets, ornaments, etc., etc.
Some Of the new trimmings are unique
and striking. The pattern hats and
bonnets are beautiful, and show q
superior talent and taste for shaping and
fashioning things Of beauty from various
materials. All have pleasing effect,
which would be difficult to excel.
This emporium of fashionable milli-
merry is also supplied with other choice
articles in the way of ladies' furnishing
and fancy goods, ladies' wraps and
cloaks, all kinds of material for fancy
work, art embroidery, etc., etc. In this
department are corsets of the best manu-
facture, fine handkerchiefs of all kinds,
various styles of fancy and other ruching,
ladies' gloves and many other things too
tedious to mention. Mr.. Orr makes a
specially OF kid gloves, keeping the best

makes. In fact this establishment is
noted for always being filled with new
and novel goods and those that are first

sort for the ladies of our city.
The millinery department is presided
over by Mrs. Orr. She is an accom-
plished, refined lady, very pleasant to
meet, and is eminently qualified to fill
the position she occupies. Employment
is given to eight and ten girls during the
busy season. The head trimmer is ac-
knowledged to be very fine, and an ex-
animation of the stock of trimmed hats
and bonnets will satisfy anyone as to
this fact. The artistic manner in which
many OF them are trimmed displays a
high order of talent and taste, which
certainly cannot fail to please the most
exacting. Mr.. Orr keeps a large stock
of untrimmed goods and trimmings on
hand, and can trim up hat or bonnet
in any style to suit.
The entire stock of this house is one
of the choicest and most complete that
it has been our privilege to examine,
and conclusively shows that the proprie.
tor exercises the greatest care in secur.
ing the best goods and all the. latest
novelties. He never permits q compe'
titor to surpass him, either in the com
pleteness OF stock, fairness of prices, OF
the liberality Of all dealings with Gus
toners.
