THE NEW SPRING & SUMMER STOCK OF DR7 ■ GOODS Just Opened by nmra, CONSISTS OF Staple Articles that are in demand and that civilized people must use, whether the times be flush or dull, business is at ebb or flow, or money is plentiiul or scarce. No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my Stock of Goods FOR TEE Spring and Summei U’ade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was , uined to the choosing of articles whose Dim BILITY and PRICE would recommend them to a community that is anxious to adapt themselves to the circumstances which now surround everybody in the United States. But this did not prevent the purchase of a stock that will compare favorably in point of beauty with anything to be found in this market, while k ttri (uly aai Ira Prices of the fabrics must necessarily recommend them in an especial manner to people of judgment, prudence and economizing desires. No special enumeration of the articles comprising this new stock is deemed necessary from the fact that 1 deal iu all articles Usuany luuuu in collections of General Merchandise, in inland towns, but it may be well enough to say that Best Dress Goods, Best Readv-Made Clothing Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, Standard Groceries, Etc., are kept in addition to the assortment es dress fabrics and other dry goods.
