is plenty of oil in our county; and
we are surprised that no one is tax

Elections were held in ten States
yesterday, but at this time we are
unable to give the result, whether

furnishing goods to be found in this
Valley, are at Friedman & Co.'S
There is no place either, where you
can buy them cheaper. Throw
away your old rusty suit and get a
new one.
