VIM. F Flrtick, an original Lax

announcement in this issue of the
Dispatch which will be an unerrlae
pointer to direct the bargain hunters
of Lexington to his stores. Such a
thing as trimmed hat for 20 ceDts
has heretofore been unheard Of, but
when it comes to shoes for l9 cents
the statement seems absurd, bu'
shoes and hats are being sold at the
prices quoted as visit to his stores
will prove. These are only two O
the many bargains he is giving andl
will pay purchasers to visit his store
before buying.
