DRESS UP
ooooooooooooooooooooooooOoOoooOOoot

Our ready.to-wear Clothing is as good
as tailors make to order; it's better then
the regular ready.made stuff that's sold
hereabouts. because we MAKE it our
selves and see that every garment is pro-
perly made before il leaves our work.
rooms. The best Cassimeres, the best
Worsteds, the best Cheyiots, and the
best Serges, such as the merchant tailors
charge enormous prices for Gust because
THEY make them to ORDER, can always
be found here, made up in all styles and
in all shapes-clothes cut and made with
as much care and which fit as perfectly
as those custom clothes, which actually
cost double what we charge.
You certainly ought to have one Of
those stylish Long Cutaway Coats and
Vests for dress-one that we made-per-
feet in fit, correct in style, trimmed with
best Innings, and. in all, made in man
ner which cannot be surpassed.

The Richmond Dispatch has. evidently
well nigh abandoned hope OF the tarif
bill getting through the Senate, and is
now considering how the Democrats may
acquit themselves OF guilt before the peo-
pie next fall.-New Castle Record.
Oh, no. We deplore the delay which
has characterized the action Of the Sen
ate, but we are not yet ready to confess
that the Democrats Of that body cannot
rise TO the requirements OF the occasion
and give to the people tariff bill which
they can and will approve.

In serried ranks, yet each alone,
