It hai been arranged that the Congress ional Convention to nominate a candidate lor Congress in the 25th Congressional Dis trict win be held at New Castle, Lawrence county, Pa., on Wednesday, June 18, 1890. at 1 o'clock, P.

It is a com bination of lances, saw« and pumping tabes. When an industrious mosquito locates on the epidermis of a man and starts up in business for himself, he uses his lance and saw alternately until he strikes a vein, then inserts his pump and becomes a small producer. It is while boring for blood that tho stinging sensation is produced. After tho pump is started the pain ceases. Last Week's Elections. On Saturday last, Allegheny, Hunting don, Perry, Dauphin and Lebanon coun ties held tbeir primaries. Allegheny Co. elected sixteen delegates to the State Con vention, all of whom will vote for Mon tooth. Jno. Dalzell was renominated for Congress in the Pittsburg district and Thomas M. Bayne in tho Allegheny dis trict; Neeb was nominated over Rutan in the 42d Senatorial district, aud Wm. Flinn had no opposition in the 44th. Rob ison, Rynd, Graham, Marshall, Lemon, Richards, Lafferty, Weaver, Calbertson, Cotton, Jones, Ncsbitt, McCollough, , and Stewart, fifteen in all were nominated in the different districts for Assemblymen; Greer for Co. Controller, McCleary for Bberiff, Bell for Treasurer, McGunnegle for Clerk of Courts, Yon Bonnhorst for Re corder, Cownes for Register, Mercer and Weir for Commr's, and Haymaker for a»s't Dist Att'y. In Huntingdon Co., the contest for state delegates was between Hastings and Stone and the Hastings men won. In ferry, another mountain-valley coun ty, tho Hastings men had everything their own way. In Dauphin Co., which contains the State capital, Harrisburg, the contest was between Hastings and Delamater, and of the four delegates elected two are for each. Lebanon Co., which adjoins Dauphin to the east and north, elected two Hastings delegates, and named Passmore for Lieut. Gov. Tha Republican primary of Beaver Co., last Thursday resulted in the election of Mr. Townsend's fifteen delegates. Col. Jackson received 737 votes in the county, Dick Quay and R. L. Sterling were nomi nated for Assembly. J. Imbrie Martin for Bheriff, and Samuel Hamilton for Treasur er; 0. H. Matthews for Reg. A Reo.; A. J. Lawrence for Clerk of Court*; Brinton Smith and Jno. H. Wilson for Co. Com mlss'rs; Isaac Minor for Poor House Com missioner, and Samuel P. White for State Senate. The delegates arc for Delamater, of coarse. At the 27th district convention at Kane last Wednesday, Congressman Watson was renominated, he receiving the votes of Warren, McKcan and Cameron counties, and Lee those of Venango. Allegheny county had two political sen sations, on Tuesday. After the conven tion for the 23d Congressional district had re nominated Col. Bayne by acclamation, he thanked the convention for the honor, which he considered a vindication and them peremtorially refused the nomina tion and had Col. Wm. A. Stone nominat ed in his -place. The friends of Shiras were too much taken by surprise to offer objections, but there is a big ''Kick" brewing in the district. The other sensa tion was the split in the convention of the 42d Senatorial district Rutan's friends claimed unfairness in the rulings of the chairman, "bolted" to another room and no minated Rutan, while the ether crowd nominated Keeb. Tuesday evening Philadelphia County held its primaries and they resulted in the election of 34 Hastings delegates and 5 Delamater. As the matter now stands Delamater is ■apposed to have 68 votes on first ballot, Hastings G6, Stone 14, Montooth 20, Oe.bome 6, Davies 3, and McCormiek 3, with 24 yet to be elected. EX-COKGEESSUAX W. L. SCOTT of Erie, was quoted as saying, a few months ago. that he would give $20,000,000 for a new stomach, lie is now getting what he wanted by the use of buttermilk. He said to the New Pork Press: "You put the buttermilk in a pan which is set in hot water. The milk is brought to the boiling point, bat not allowed to boil. Then the heavy part is skimmed off. Tho whey which remains is set aside to cool. I drank a glass of it three or four times a day Mhtftasl could bear it on my throat. After fan get used to it you will like it better than dtampagne. It has a delicious taste. I have ftaao a great sufferer for years with inflammatku .of tho mucq# membrane, which caused my And this is the only thing that has aver permanently helped me." Memorial Day. Thirty years ago this Nation was on the verge of civil war; the Southern States were seceding one after another, a Con federate Government had been organized, tho National flag flying over Fort Sumpter in Charleston harbor had been fired upon, the President had called for men, and in every Northern city, town and village companies were being enlisted and sent to their respective rendezvous, where they were organized into armies for the sup pression of the rebellion and the main tenance ot the Union, while in the South ern States the same thing was being done for the opposite purpose. Everybody was excited and nothing but war was talked of, yet nobody surmised that the struggle was to be as long, as bloody and as expensive as it proved to be. For four long years the war raged with varying fortunes, but towards the end of 18G4 the resources of the Southern States were exhausted and next Spring their only remaining army under General Lee sur rendered to General Grnnt at Appomattox. Thousands of men died on the fields of battle, and thousands more in hospitals and prisons. Husbands, sons, lathers and brothers who went to the army never re turned and no one knows their last resting places. It was to keep these dead in memory that Memorial Day was established and for the same purpose it is maintained. Each succeeding Memorial Day wit nesses the decoration of the graves of those who lived through the war and died at home, or whose bodies were brought home from the battle-fields or hospitals, and a military procession in their honor. The procession this year in Butler was led by Major Reed snd his staff, followed by the Grand Army Band, Soldiers' Or phans' Home Band, A. G. Reed Post, G. -jrrlt. 010 vote run J, TUG military company, and the junior order of American Work men. They formed in front of the Court House and marched to the Orphans' Home, and were there seated on and around the front porch, in the shade of the trees.J jThe band played some fine selections, the pupils of the Home sang "America" and "Rally round the flag," and then the com pany listened to what was pronounced the best Memorial Day address ever delivered in Butler. Col. Jackson, of New Castle, was the speaker, and having been a soldier himself he knew whereof he spake, and he spoke feelingly and intelligently. lie began by recalling the dead, who, he said, gave everything for their country, while the others were spared to come back and enjoy life, even those who lost near relatives in the war were hurt worse than those who were spared to return; the Northern soldiers were devoted to the flag and did not need particular leaders to enable them to tight well; one wounded soldier begged a shred of tho regimental battle flag from him before being sent home; wo remember those who fell in battle as young men while those who re turned and yet live have grown gray; the North was eternally right and the South was eternally wrong; the children should be taught the import of the war for the Union, and speaking of the pension laws he said that no man who fought for his country should be allowed to die a pauper. He spoke for about forty minutes and was heartily applauded by the veterans present at several points. Rer. Prugh followed in some remarks regarding the Orphan Schools, and thinks the State should yet make provision for the children of disabled veterans. That afternoon the Junior Order of American Mechanics presented the Home with a handsome flag. They marched up to the Home led by the Germania Band, J. M. Maxwell presided, the presentation speech was made by Miss Maiy Ayros and the response by Mrs. Smith, one of the teachers; the children sang "Unfurling of the flag," during which the new flag was hoisted over the school building, and al together it was a very pleasant affair. S. P. Bowser, Esq., spoke at Petrolia on Memorial day, Capt. Fleeger at Prospect Lev McQuistion, Esq.. at Centreville, and and Newton Black, Esq., at Grove City. The Capt. Wm. Stewart Post, G. A. R. inarched from Evans City to Brownsdale, that day, were addressed by M. B. Dou thett and Capt. R. I. Boggs and given a dinner by the ladies of the town. Then they marched back to Evans City where they were addressed by D. B. Douthett, Esq. (A request to publish a detailed ac count of the proceedings there came to us after onr columns were full. A Card of Thanks From the Old Soldiers. A. G. Reed Post and the Union Veteran Legion join in tendering our sincere thanks to the business people of Butler, who so generally observed our request, in which the Burgess had joined, by closing for the specified time their respective places of business on Memorial Day. To Rev. J. S. McKee, who on the pre ceding Sunday evening preached an edify ing and scholarly memorial sermon; to the Soldiers' Orphans, who so efficiently dis charged their duty, while acting in the capacity of an escort; to the managers, teachers and children of tho Orphans' Home, who gave us so cordial a reception to their beautiful and commodious ground; to the National Guards, the Jr. O. U. A. M. and the J. S. Campbell Hose Co., whose presence added so much to the suc cess of the occasion, and to Col. O. L. Jackson, the eloquent orator of the day, for the appropriate and instructive memo rial address which was highly appreciated, we tender our sincere thanks. We duly appreciate the excellent music rendered in such pleasing manner by the G. A. R. Band during the exercises at the Home, and as well, the efforts of the leader. Prof E. 0. Davis, and the deep interest he manifested in making the musical part of the exercises a success. We also appreciate the fact, that during the day there was the best of order on the streets, which we largely attribute to the judicious care exercised bv tho preprietors of the various hotels in closing their bars, and to Mr. Reiber IU refusing to sell by the bottle. To the proprietors of all the newspapers in the borough for the kindly assistance rendered in publishing gratuitously our programs and orders, to Mr. Alfred Wick, who furnished without charge a rig for our use during the day. To all who in any way assisted in. carry ing into effect the grand object of 'Memo rial Day, we tender our sincere thanks; and will at the nest regular meeting of A. G. Reed Post 105, move that the same be spread upon its minutes. COM. Concord Township. Ei>. CITIZEN:—Seeing nothing from Con cord for a long time I thought it would not be amiss for me to scribble a little for your columns. Although we are left ont in the cold politically, we are so high and dry that there is no danger of us becoming dampened in regard to the party in the fall. We are ail Republicans and will be found at our post in November. Now in regard to our candidates they fell grateful to the voters of the county foi the manner in which they were cared for and will sup port the. ticket in the fall from top to bot j torn, and seeing the honorable vote that our candidate for Clerk of Courts got in the county, we may expect him to be a candidate again in three years from now, lor he has expressed himself to that effect and we will trust that he will be more successful next time. VOTER. THE price of steel rails in Knglaud is £{4.50 per ton. In this country it is $32 to s3:i per ton. Now the duty on steel rails is sl7 per ton. Ex-President Cleveland, the apostle of tariff teform. never fails to insert somewhere in his "interviews" that the duty on a foreign article is added to the price of the same article made in this country. In other wordss .'14.50 plus #l7 equals $32. This may be good Democratic doctrine, but it is ex ecrable .^dthmetif The Scotch-Irish. The second annual congress of the Scotch-Irish Society of the United States met in Mechanical Hall. Pittsburg, last Thursdar. Robert Bonner, of New York, presided, and the guests were welcomed bv Mayor Gourley and Gov. Beaver, and Dr. John S. Mcintosh, of Philadelphia, made the principal address. On Friday the convention was entertain ed by Hon. John Dalzell, of Pittsburg, in an address that won the praises of all for its eloquence and research: and on Satur day President Harrison, on his way home from Cleveland, stopped at Pittsburg, and visited the Hall, aud that evening Dr. John Hall, of New York, closed the ex ercises by addressing an audience of five thousand, aud thousands of others could not get into the building. W. L. Graham, Esq.. James Kearns, Sr., Andrew Blakeley, C. M. Gilkey, and Jos. Vauderlin. Esq.. attended the sessions of the convention. Mr. Graham has one oi the badges of the Society. On one side it has the red hand of Ulster, in a shield, the motto "Liberty and Law," Scotch-Irish Society, organized 1889, and a wreath of shamrock and thistle. The reverse contains a castle, with shield and three eagles below it. The Scotch-Irish began coming to America as early as 1720. Some twenty five thousand of them came over about 1770, many of whom came to Western Pennsylvania. They were among the first settlers of this country and helped to clear it of the Indians. THE Supreme Court of Maine has re versed one of the lower courts of the state in the famous Burns case. Burns several years ago opened in Augusta an "original package" business, selling only liquors, however, that were imported from the -jrrrrrrnrcT rrr oThef countries, claiming That under tho United States Constitution, the State had no right to interfere with his business. The case carried np step by step until it is now decided in Burn's fa vor. The Court says in part: "The lowa case just decided by the Supreme Court of the United States clearly settles the ques tion. We are bound by that decision to reverse the ruling below and to sus tain the law as contended for by the re spondent. The minority opinion in the lowa case is elaborate and commends itself to many as containing the better conclu sion. Our obediance is due to the judgment which prevails. Our statutes prohibit only unlawfulness. Its interpretation must be Constitutional." Original Packages. At Pittsburg last Saturday Judge Ache son of the U. S. District Court refused to interfere in tho ease of Silverman, the "or iginal package" man in jail at Kittanning for selling beer at Leechburg as agent for a Cincinatti brewery. The Judge in refusing to discharge the Leechburg liquor dealer does not dispute the application of the Supreme Court dec ision, but decides that he will not inter fere with the right of the State Court to hear the case and recognize the binding force of the U. S. decision. If that recog nition should not be made as it was in Maine, of course, the United States Courts will be obliged to hear the case. But this disposition warns the dealers in the original package plan that they must stand trial in the State courts under what will probably be a strict construction of the ruling by the United States Supreme Court, and as it is claimed that the beer Silverman sold was reshipped at Pittsburg, and Silverman is not a resident of the State there may be trouble ahead for him. In Topeka, Kansas, same day six origi nal package dealer dealers were released 011 writs of habeas corpus. THE General Assembly of the Presby terian Church has decided to submit a re vision of tho Confession of faith to the Assembly of next year and has provided for a committee to formulate the changes to be proposed. The committee is instruc ted, however, to propose nothing that will impair the integrity of the "Calvinistic system of doctrine." This seems still to leave considerable room for disputation. Presbyterians evidently are by no means unanimous as to just what is and what is not an essential part of the Calvinistic system. It' there were agreement on that point the question of revision probably would not have been so difficult. But the committee will have a year to talk it over and anything on which fifteen min isters and ten laymen can agree should be sufficiently conservative to satisfy every body. A Golden Wedding. William Turner, et us., ntc Mis* Mary Gibson, celebrated their golden wedding at their home in Allegheny township, on the 22(1 inst. At an early hour on that day friends and relations in number about 300 assembled at his domicile, bringing with them many and valuable presents for the rejuvenated" bride and groom, as well as an abundance of edibles. An enjoya ble time was had in social intercourse un til noon, when a table was improvised in Mr. Turner's door yard, and all the sub stantial, as well as many of the delicate viands of the season, were placed thereon. Rev. H. H. Moore of St. Petersburg, Clar ion County, invoked the divine blessing, after which all. with evident relish, satiat ed their hunger. While at the table, the guests were counted. It is quite likely that a correct enumeration would show less than 300, as Sheriff 0. C. Redic anil J. L. Colgin wore seen at the table several times. Dinner dispatched, post-prandial exor cises ensued. The multitude was called to order by Kev. Moore, who officiated as master of ceremonies. Prot. Will M. Gib son of Bruin ltd a corterie of young folks iu singing some beautiful pieces of music, after which Rev. J. R. Coulter in a brief and pathetic prayer returned thanks to Almighty God for the many blessings vouchsafed to the aged people who were the object of our visit, and asked for a con tinuance of divine guidance and direction. Rev. Moore then resumed the rostrum and delivered an eloquent and stirring address. In which he highly complimented and warmly coingratulated Mr. and Mrs. Tur ner. Appropriate addresses were also deliver ed by Rev. Coulter and others. Rev. Moore presented the aged couple with many presents which had been brought as testimonials of sincere esteem and regard. I regret that I have not a list of them at hand. Inttr alia, they received sll6 in gold. Those presenting gifts of money or valuables arc the following named persons: Thomas Grant. 0. C. Redic, Dr. A. W. Crawford, M. E. church of Foxburg, W. T. Crawfoid, G. P. Sloan, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Turner, Samuel Crawford, Mr. and Mrs.'J. Harvey Turner. Mr. and Mrs. Nidle, Miss Laura Crawford, M. E. Turner, E. P. Thomas, It. J. Grant, Mr. and Mrs. James L. Colgin, E. H. Crawford, Mrs. Mattie Rapp, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Kiskad don, Dr. A. L. Gibson. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Cooper, O. E. Black, W. F. Thomas, J. R. Grant. Miss Sadie Grant, E. C. Gibsou, Mrs. S. G. Gibson, Mrs. Eleanor Gibson, Miss Mattie Crawford, Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam Anchors, Mrs. Jane Sloan, Mrs. Jas. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. John Anchors, Miss Mattie Gibsou and Robert M. Taylor. Mr. Turner now resides on the farm on which he was born 74 years ago. This oc casion was not only the semi-centennial of their marriage, but it was the 60th birth day of Mrs. Turner. We cannot reasona bly hope for "many returns of the hnppy occasion" to them, but we must trust that they may be left with us for many years. Mr. Turner is a good citizen and a superb man. Mrs. Turner is a most estimable lady, a devoted wife, and fond mother. They arc the progenitors of six children, five of whom are living and were present. Thirteen of their grand-children were also in attendance, to cheer and comfort them in these, their declining years. They have thus far drifted calmly and peacefully a down the stream of time, and will event ually cast their anchor in that broad, sub lime, smooth sea, eternity. JOHN THOMAS MANY people haye a great horror of j annihilation, and yet to be useless amounts •to practically the same thing. A dead i man has this advantage over the useless I man—he is out of the way. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. A runaway raft containing ICO.OOO feet - of lumber was caught at Pittsburg, one j day last week. Nelson Hatch, residing near Douglass vilie, Berks county, went fishing Tuesday evening of last week aud his wife visited a neighbor, leaving their three-year old. alone in the house. During their absence the house was burned and the child perish ed in the flames. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a lamp. '•At Mechauicsburg, Pa., a woman named Mosher spent the afternoon with two female friends, and upon reaching her home her voice was gone. For three months she could not speak a loud word. Her voice then suddenly returned. All j the doctors could say about it was that she had talked her tongue into being tired and needing a rest. And the malady was liable to return at any time when too much talk ing was indulged." Jerry Muiphy plead guilty i>. the United States District Court at Pittsburg to run ning a distillery in Forest county without paying the Government tax. He said all he distilled was sassafras and watergreen and he don't know that was wrong. He had never been in any trouble. He was lined SIOO and ordered to be confined in the jail of Forest county one mouth. At Tarentum last week several persons were hurt an.l oue lad)' had her leg broken by the falling of the seats of a circus. There is on the Robert McLaughry tarm, south of Ediuboro, an apple ttee that deserves mention as a wonderful natural curiosity. It was planted by John Campbell in ISIO, and is therefore 80 years old. But it is the great size of the trwe. auU not its age, tliat makes it won derful. The trunk, which is very smooth aud straight and free from knots, measure eight feet and seven inches in circumference one foot above the ground. When it is noticed that this is the size of the clean trunk, free from knots, the great size of the tree will be appreciated. The aged parents of the Nicely boys went to Indiana, Pa., one day last week and spent their time with the unfortun ate men. The mother is a very nice old lady and when she entered the cell where her sons were confined she broke down completely and hung upon their necks as though she would never consent to part with them again. Both parents and child ren cried pitifully. The parents believe most implicitly in the innocence of the boys and cannot think that they will be executed. Since the visit of the parents the boys are very quiet and spend much of their time reading the Bible. A party of New York men lately paid a round million for IS.OOO acres of land on the Punxsutawney basin. Three cases of suicide happened in Allegheny Co. last Saturday. John Geiger hung himself through religious ex citement;~Lizzie Miller of Pittsburg took Paris Greeu because her lover jilted her, and Mrs. Nurse of Allegheny took the same because her husband flirted with a young lady living at Berver Falls. At this term of Court in Allegheny Co. six murder cases and one man slaughter case will be heard. A singular accident aud marvelous escape during the heavy storm Friday last, is reported from Lawrence county, near the Beaver county line. It seems that while the storm was raging. Farmer Browen undertook to bring in from the field a young horse. He had the animal by the halter leading him, but the noise made by the storm frightened the animal and it refused to follow. It pulled back aud the farmer pulled the other way. While in t'jis position, with the halter strap pulled taut, a vivi.l stroke of light niug camp, and cut the halter iu two as neatly as if done with a sharp knife. Both man and beast were thrown to the ground, but both recovered iu an instaut, and scrambled unhurt to their feot. The aniuial took to its heels for the field, while the farmer made tracks for the barn. Several who witnessed the affair were certain at first that both were killed* While herding cattle, between Bradford and Kendall Creek, last Saturday after noon, Austin Peterson and TVilliam and Joseph Trantor, ranging in ago from twelve to fourteen years, found two torpedo squibs. Joseph Trantor and Peterson each picked up a squib, and, after examining them, threw them on the ground. The explosion that followed tore the flesh from Peterson's hand and blew out one of his eyes. The other two boys were bruised and cut all over the body. "William Trantor died at 5 o'clock on Sun day morning. The two other boys are thought to be fatally injured. Each has lost an eye, and if they recover, both will be disfigured for life. TIIE Pittsburgh Dispatch observes that the Supreme Court's decision, that a will deeding property to a married woman iu fee simple wholly separate from her hus band, gives her only a life interest in it, is one of the finest achievement of hair splitting on record siuce the time of Hudibras. SECRETARY BLAISE'S scheme for aPau- American railway with which to connect the principal cities of the Western Hemis phere is gigantic and worthy of Mr. Bluine. We trust he maj* live to see the day when conductors can be heurd in the depots of all our large cities calling out; All aboard for Mexico, Panama, Bogota, Coehabaui bo. Rio Janeiro and Terra del fuego." IK people generally could see themselves as others see them, and smell their own breath, there would be fewer cases of big head, but suicide would be more common. XKW YORK CITY has a debt aggregating $144,300,000. The interest on this sum, paid with an annual growl, is $7,000,000. The revenue by taxation is $34,000,000, raised on a $2,000,000,000 taxable assess ment, aud the city owns parks, piers, public buildings and other property valued at $300,000,000. These figures, the Herald believes, establishes New York's claim as the centre of creation. —Wni. S. Foltz, president of the First National Bank of New Castle, has made an information vs. a Mrs. Kaudolf, of Union Twp., for conspiring to kill hiin, aud em ploying a man named Samuel Kissenger to do it, agreeing to pay him $1,500. The woman wai arrested and has confessed. APROPOS cf the display of Kebel flags at the dedication of General Lee's monument in Richmond, Ya., last Thursday, a poet gets off the following: On Richmond's scenes no need to dwell, For this we'll all allow, The old familiar rebel yell Is but a chestnut now.

Don't you remember we told you a year ago we were going to stay and dou't you remember we told you how we had been working for ten years to reach the top of the business, and told you we were nearly there. We told you we were not certain then whether we were the largest dealers in our liue iu this great state of Pennsylvania. But now we arc the largest. Ju*t think of it right here in Butler—the largest wholesale and retail carriage dealers iu the whole state—well it i* true we have the largest wholesale and we have the largest retail trade. We carry the largest stock and sell cheaper than any house in the state, the amount of business we do enables us to do so. AV<> do uot sit around doing nothiug till customers come in then size him up aud sr.. for all he has we do a straight forward business and hav ing all kiuds of grades of work we tell you the quality yon arc getting every time. Why just think we sell the very same top buggy for $4.") that others sell for .•?<*>, an.l we keep also the very best hand-made buggies—we keep the best work kept by any dealer. We have harness for sti and up. also the very best hand-made harness —in fact we are the only place you can get a really good line harness You should look at our stock of surreys—the best you ever seen at one place in your life. We had them all made for this year's trade aud the} - are the latest styles, and the finest work too —and spring wagons, we have more spring wagons than you could shake a stick at. .lust think of it. &O for a spring wagon, also the very best kind made; and then the best part of it is you always know just what quality of work you are getting when you buy from us. Our rule has always been nerer misrepre sent and Merer try to yet rich off one HUH tomor. Kemeuiber we keep everything in our line and pay strict attention. You. will always find us here. "We cannot • numerate, but just think of it, the best collar pads for 50c, horse collars f>oe and up, carts tor >lO up. We have 112 different kinds, lap robes for *1 that others sell at $1.50, fly nets cheaper than you could make them yourself, good kip collars tick ing face, tufted with hair with pat fastener on top for #2,—just the collar (only a little better) you have been paying $2.50 to $3.00 for. Good hand made team harness —best oak tanned leather, all complete for $32. You paid S3B to S4O for the same, only yours hadn't as good leather. Now do you think this talk is all true or is it only an advertise ment. It's quite a picture isn't itf Well, now neighbor, look here; If you just come down aud spend one hour looking through our large stock and don't say its true as far as it goes only not half told we will pay you for your time—is not this fair? Come down, it is only a little distance from Main St. down to 3"> W. Cunningham St. —where we pay no rent. We want to see aud get acquainted with you if you never were here before, and if you have been here come and see us for we are glad to meet old friends. Respectfully, S. li. M.\ftTlXl'OL'ltT & Co. S.
