One of the very neatest clothiug establishments in this dty is that of Max Joseph, 322 Main street.

Having abundant means snd faultless taste in the selection of goods, his stock presents the most pleasing variety, while the quality snd style is unapproachable.

The Trimming Store, although it excelled every ether establishment In the «nagui£cetce of Its "opening," will net be suffered to rest on Its laursls. Thai is not Mr. Riddle's way. Having the lead, be can be depended upon to main* tain it. New and elegant goads are being received daily, and to keep thoroughly posted as to very latest new kink in the fisshlons, ladies must pay the Trimming Store a daily visit. Everybody will be welcome, whether they come to buy or not.

The "Cential Book Store" was never richer in attractions than at present. The stock Is one of the complcteat ever seen In the city, and is besides so admirably arranged as to the tasteful display of goods that it is a pleasure of the happiest sort to take a stroll through it. It should be the favorite resort of all oulti vated people. Tho proprietors, Messrs. Button A Hamilton, are always glad see visitors, and wish it particularly understood that all such are welcome— nay, more than that, are invited urged—to call as eften as they like look at things without feeling any obligation resting on them to buy because they look. Besides all the standard books, they keep the finest line of tlonery and blank books to be found the city. Also, a full line of croquet sets and other games.
