Groceries.
Why is it that, notwithstanding the
complaint of dull trade, my sales are
as large now as at any time during
the year ?
I believe it is because, beside filling orders
promptly and with first-class goods, 1
am content with small uniform profits
all the year round—do not charge car-
rying prices.
Also, because orders sent to me by mail
are filled with the same care, with, as
good selections, and at as low prices
as if the purchaser were buying the
goods in person, with cash in hand.

term has been a veritable Black Friday for the
gamblers. Of the ten cases tried not one has
escaped conviction, alternately trusting to tho
tender mercies of the court and then the jury,

fendant went so far as to prouounce the jury
'[a d—d mob," which fact being brought to

his efficiency and uncompromising stand for
the State.
