Henry Tudor of st. Louis was here Oh
Wednesday buying furs through Pilot Knob
Ironton and Arcadia, and managed to secur,
neat little bunch at fair prices for spo
cash. He left at midnight for Poplar Bluff
speaking in highest terms of the courtes,
and affability of our merchants and citizen,
generally. Mr.. Tudor will be back just be.
fore Christmas, and hopes that his friend.
Will keep furs for him till then. He has
been resident in ST. Louis for seven years
and gives that City as his reference.
As will be seen by reference to our adver-
Using columns, Hons. w. II. Edgar, of this
city, and Geo. HI. Benton, of Poplar Bluff,
have formed co-partnership for the prac-
tice of their profession. These two gentle
men are recognized as two of the ablest
among the legal fraternity in Southeast Mis-
souri,, and together Will make 4 team whose
superiors will be hard to locate. Parties
who may be SO unfortunate as to have deal
ings with the courts can find no safer hands
| wherein to place their business.
For years past it has been universally ad-
mitted that Bonanza's Holiday Window
distances all competitors in this region, but
the beautiful display of this year is far ahead
of all former efforts, and the Captains eX-
quisite taste and rare ingenuity are evidence
ed more plainly than ever. The picture
this season is one of Alpine scenery, and
standing off few feet observing the full
moon appearing from behind the cliffs one
can almost believe he is in far off Switzer-
land viewing the snowy Alps. 1t must be
seen to be appreciated.

Mr.. III. Farmhouse wishes to call the atten-
ton of the public to the fact that he has one
of the largest and most select stock of Christ
mas Goods to be found in Southeast Mis-
souri,, and parties in search of Presents,
Tricks for Santa Claus or the Christmas
Tree, are sure to secure what they want if
they will call at his model store in Ironton

hore or counting the leaves on the trees.
Suffice it to say The variety is complete in all
respects and buyers of Holiday Goods will
be delighted when they inspect.
