plete, -and an experience) of
nearly twenty years in the
trade at Lebanon enables me
to select pueh goods as will
meet the wants of the people.
As I buy for cash, a careful
inspection will satisfy anyone
of ordinary intelligence that
MONTAGUE'S PRICES and
the superior quality of his
goods fully merit tho liberal
patronage he is receiving, and
for which he returns his pro
found thanks.
In Montague's DRESS
GOODS department will be
iound many new and elegant
designs purchased rt very low
figures of one of the largest
importing houses in America.

pondingly low, and we res-
jpectfully invite tho ladies, to

ing. MontaguG has been selling
a groat many wedding dresses
lately, and will take pleasure
in furnishing complete outfits
to parties contemplating
house keeping.
Our CLOTHING DE

advertising, as the goods k 11
themselves. We keep native
Om'on manufactured cloth

'ME ONE PRICE Cash
Store is an immense success;
the sales are very largo and
