VELVA DEPARTMENT
STORE.

The mercantile advantages of Vel
va, with reference to the rcsourceful
nature of the surrounding country, to-
gether with the continued develop

speak their independence, if not their
rivalry, of the big stores in the larger
cities of the state. The large and ele-
giant store of the above name, which
is a credit to the city, offers attrac-
tions in goods displayed and bargains
offered that are we'll calculated to
hold the major part of the home trade,

large and tastefully displayed stock, a
full line of dry goods, clothing, shoes,
dress goods, and department where
the best in groceries and eatables are
sold
