Those contemplating building will do well to examine goods and ascertain prices, at he hardware store of E. L. Clark, before going elsewhere. A large stock of dried and canned Fruits, at C. C.

It is because he buys all his goods for cash down, pays no rents, and does business wholly upon his own capital. And you bet! Clint. Stackhouse will be on hand with his “Jersey Reds,” and the finest specimens of wheat grown, and will delight the people, at the Fair, with his glowing descriptions of the good qualities of his hogs and grain, and he will not stretch the truth either. Clint deserves great credit for his efforts and expense to introduce fine and profitable stock and grain in this section. There is a good reason why A. Leopold can sell Clothing lower than any other Clothing house in Rensselaer. It is because he took advantage of the recent decline in price of goods, and purchased his full stock at 15 per cent, les than they can be bought for now.

Ezra L. Clark is established in the Nowels building with an extensive and entirely new stock of hardware, of all kinds, tinware, table and pocket cuttlery, etc., etc., to which he respectfully invites the attention of the public. Dr. A. H. Wirt, dentist, is in town, and will remain a short time. He will be happy to meet all desiring his professional services, at the law office of D. B.

Let fair hands go to work and produce articles useful and beautiful, and place them on exhibition at the Fair. And our artisans and mechanics, too, go to work and have on hand specimens of your handiwork.
