The Cutting of Prices on
Staple Goods Marks a
New Epoch in the Grocery
Trade Of Richmond.

We mean to do twice the bus
mess this year that we did in
1895. There is no reason why
we shouldn't-we have the best
supplied Grocery Store in Rich
mond. Established for years,
we enjoy a reputation for carry
ing the best grades of groceries.
We're going to sell closer than
we ever did before-we're going

Everything that a frst-class
grocery store should have.

war. We went up one side of the street
and down the other. In three of the
tents that night, just before taps, the
voices Of men in prayer were heard.
In seven tents the language of even
| up, euchre and poker came to our ears.
In the balance Of the tents the soldier
statesmen and army commanders were
discussing the best way to settle the
great family trouble into which the
| North and the South had allowed them
selves to be drawn. Jones ut that time
was a nan Of piety. He was shocked
atthe few prayers and much worldiness
of the company. Two years later Jones
could lose his pay at poker a little
quicker than any other man in Com.
