No attempt was made to secure frivolous novelties in the selection of my stock of goods for the spring and summer trade of 1877 in Jasper county, but an eye was trained to the choosing of articles whose durability 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 the standard quality and low prices of the fabrics must, necessarily recommend them iiran 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 it is very well known that I deal in all articles usually found in collections of general merchandise iu inland towns, but it may be well enough t«» say that boots, shoes, hats, caps, clothing, standard groceries, etc., are kept in addition to the assortment of dress fabrics and other dry goods.
