More CuriOSitieS,

In addition to the display of rare
coins belonging to Rev. w. Nj.
Lemen, which has been attracting
considerable attention in our Office
window the past week, there is now
a piece of coral from Port Said,
Suez Canal, one of the smallest teeth
of a whale, and a bottle of wa
ter from the river Jordan. To one
who takes an interest in things OF
this sort, the display is well worth
inspecting.

A CIGAR CHAT.

WE would like to sell you
w your cigars by the box.
If we have not your favorite
brand and size and color, we
will get it for you. No trouble
at adjust leave your order.
Our cigar trade is growing and
we want it to grow more. Our
idea is to find out our custom
ers' tastes and keep the cigars
to fit them. Tobacco is all a
matter of taste-price doesn't
tell the whole story. Many a
man smokes clear Havana at a
quarter piece for the "bluff"
of it, who would much rather
have a light domestic cigar at
ten cents. We've got them all.
Take your choice.
