About five year aluce tttore were estab
lished in Tittiavltle hundred of tore and
shopn, rcproaeminn all klnda' ot business
and conducted by rvery closi of peoplo.
At that pnriod the town was all excitement
everything was oil, and every little Instliu
tution could mako tuouey lor a short time,
while but very few stood tbe clamor aud
lived to grow up with the oity. Regarding
it as a growing place for trade some of these
opened shops, but failed for want of a
knowledge a to how to conduct their busi
nest. Others, more tamiliar with their
trade and calling, 'swung out theit shin
gle.' A very few not one in ten who at
thai time came here and opened stocks of
goods have run successful and are now a
part of the place. One of that few 1 John
J. Carter, who in 1865, ineonneotion with
J. W. Alexander, opened on Franklin
ttreet, a little, one bone clothing and gent
furnishing good (tore. Havlog numerous
competitor it waa bard work for them to
keep their bead above water, but by close
attention to business, studying tbe secret o
advertising, and selling goods on a fair
basis, they founded what I now one of tbe
largest houses to their line, in this region.
A year or two ago their place of bus loess
was changed to Spring street, and opened
under the name of John J. Carter, Mr.
Alexander having retired at the clota of
tbe first year of their partnership. In
January lust Mr. Carter associated witb
himself Mr. A. W. Kollins, ol Hatch, John
ton &. Co., New York, wholesale dealer In
gents' furnishlog goods, and Mr. J. W.
Alexander, formerly of tbe old firm, under
tbe firm name of John J. Carter 3c Co. All
the members of this new firm being men
acquainted with every branch of tbe busi
ness, they toon' established n rnviabte
reputation, and it became necesaary to en
large treir borders. Accordingly tbey erect
ed over their store a second and third story
elevation of the same width and depth of
salesroom, giving them an abundance of
room for tbe display of good and increased
racllitie lor a speedy trauaaction of busi
oes. During the past few week tbey bare
visited the eastern cities for the purpose of
select log a Fall and Winter stock of goods
and have just returned witb tbe most ex
tensive assortment ever brought Into this
city. Nothing could be more complete than
their stock of FurniBblog Goods which
meets the eye yon enter their store. On
either side one finds nothing but the very
best of goods, and arranged in a style ''gor
geous for to see." On the second floor is
the Cloth and Clothing Department and is
filled to overflowing witb Heady-Made
Clothing and Cloths of the latest styles.
On tbe third floor 1 the worksnop, where
25 workmen a nd a number of sewing ma
chines, wi th very attractive breathing at
tachments, are in constant employ. The
Custom Department is under the superin
tendence of Mr. Charles Tripp, whose
popularity throughout this section a an A
No. 1 cutter ia equivalent to a 'sure fit."
Another attraotion is, the salesmen are all
gentlemen, and among them are "Andy"
Sbcokrt, late cf McFarlamd, Smith. &
Co.'s, and J. J. Connkll.
To-day and to-morrow, tbey propose to
devote to the publio good, and bave set
these day apart for a Grand opening.
Those who desire to look J at an elegant
stock of goods cannot do better than to give
them a call. But before you go, take
special paius to look at the Fall Bulletin,
just issued by Messrs. Carter & Co., then
go and leave your orders. Courier.
Theatre. Owing to tbe exceedingly
unpleasant state of tbe weather, last even
ing, there wa not ao large an audienoe in
attendance at Sobel's Opera House to wit
ness Miss Fanny B. Price' Impersonation of
"Fanoboo, tbe Cricket," a there would
have been had It been more favorab'e. Tbe
really excellent performance of Miss P. and
ber company wa a matter of surprise to
all in attendance, no one for a moment ex
pecting to witness so life-like and meritor
ious aetluj, eaob individual member teem
ing to Tie witb tbe other in their effort to
please. Of Kiet Price' acting we cannot
peak in too bi-b termi of pralte, it being
marked by a certain graoe of action , and
a complete undertlauding of tbe character
she wa playing that we bave seldom If ever
eeen equalled. She hat a finely modulated
voice, and the midden obaoge from grave to
gay, from mirtbfulnes to sorrow, leads one
to imagine almost that tbe character wa a
reality. Suffice it to say ibe won tbe ad
miration of tbe entire audience, and wa
loudly applauded throughout. Mr. D. Han-
obett a Father Barbeau exhibited rare his
trionic talent, proving bimseli a firtt-claat
aotor In every respect. Tbe company I a
strong one and deserving of liberal patron
age. Tonight will be presented tbe great
drama entitled "Frou-Frou," In wbiob Mis
Price will appear of ber original character

pany. Give tbem a full house.
