You could easily be persuaded
that Spring is here when you see the new and handsome displays of choice and rare goods exhibited by Tobe Smith at his immense curiosi-
Iv store and great jewel ry emporium No description that could be written would do justice to that stock
;t ; inmmnarablc. There are so
W aU rnanv articles too, that cost an in
foonifieaiit sum (5 and 10c.) so as
to be brought within the reach of all that no one, however poor is excluded. You can get the finest gold watches manufactured, firstwater diamonds, and standard silverware at Tobe Smith's. In fact you can buy articles there that are onlv occasionly seen in the largest cities, and the prices at which he rail them is marvellously low. The store is on the south side of the square. Morley's Early Sprisq flrnnr is bow coming in weekly in-
HtaUinents. and is carefully selected
and very handsome. Among the varied specialties in the new supply is the Embroidery selection, which includes ail the late patterns. No dry goods man has kept a closer watch on the market than Mobley, and be bnys when goods are lowest, thus giving customers an advantage
that it is difficult to secure every

withdraw in his favor at the proper
moment.
