A fireut Improvement.
As tho details day by day are (rettint; guttled
into Htnoutb running order, the new store of II.
J. liii.i.KN becomes daily more popular with the
public, both with the old customers of the house,
and with new ones. Never bus a change of locu
tion proved more generally satisfactory; for, us
aid bwfore, Mr. Gillen's Increased facilities for
handling tjoods luve enabled him to Increase bis
stock In a department in proportion, making a
complete house that has no rival In this city.
The spring stock now open is a superb one in
all lines, being complete In all directions, show
ing all the novelties of the dry goods trade, all
offered at new prices, facts which havo had
decided weight with nil classes, and particularly
with those only occasional buyers, who have
called "to see the new store." And certainly
with the new good, the carpet department and
the Increased conveniences buyers now find
there, the house Is in a condition to please tho
roost exacting and supply every lino of goods
this market calls for, such us it never had be
fore. The development of the house during tho
past few weeks has been wonderful, and those
who knew the house on Court street would
hardly recognize It now, so much has it lmprov
ed In every way. One might almost say a new
house of the first class has been added to it dur
ing the past month. Mr, Gillen invites till to call
on him, assuring them he will show them goods
and prices that will please them.

'On Tuesday evening, as the last of the military
entertainments for the season, the Rink was
thrown open, and after a drill by Company D,
those preseut enjoyed roller skatlne. The special
feature of the evening was tho fancy skating of
Cbas. E. and Arthur Hook, which was certainly
very fine. Our friend Fentou, "the champion,"
will have to look after his laurels if the boys con
tinue to improve as they have done of lato.
An Immense Stock.
The "Old White Corner" clothing store, M
Stlefel, Manager, has uulto beaten Its record this
season in opening up a stock of spring clothing.
This bouse has long beeu recognized as one of
the best clothing houses in this part of the state,
both as to size and character of stock and fen
eral cheapness of goods. It has done an enor.
moua business, and is doing one now; and has at
all times enjoyed the confidence of the public,
But this season particular pains have been tak.
en, as the stock shows, to place the house In a
position to claim an even greater support from
the public. There is literally no end to the ne
goods in slock. All grades of clothing, all sizes
and styles, for all ages, lu all fashionable and re
liable fabrics ore on their shelves and counters,
Every class of goods known to be worth public
notice are here, made up in the best manner.
And while men and youths can be fitted from
any grade of goods desired, special attention baa
be'ii paid to the lino for boys and children.
These stocks reijulre careful attention to be
thoroughly satisfactory; and the present one is
very large, containing a wide rang of goods, to
fit all ages, at your own price. The clothing de
partment is certainly one of the largest ever
hown here, und must be popular in this county
this spring.
In adttion there is a full lino of huts and raps,
containing all the new styles ot stiff and soft hats
for men, boys and children, a very complete
stock.
The line of furnishing goods also has been iu-
creascd with new goods, new linen goods, neck
wear, scurfs, underwear of ull kinds, hosiery, all
goodsof every description. Also such specialties
s rubber goods, umbrellas celluloid collars and
ull', etc.
Besides these Is the stock of trunks probably
the largest in the city. This trade has been a
penalty for some years, so that they secure
trunks now-a days by car load lots. This line,
with valises und kindred articles, Is an immense
one, and shows the thoroughness with which
the house has been stocked this season in all
epurtmcuts.
The house expects an enormous trade this sea-
son, und the stock laid In ought to bring it. It
s one In which there are goods for everybody;
which, combined with the proverbial lowness of
rices at this house and their methods of square
euling with everynody, ensures a most profita
ble and prosperous season. We recommend our
aders to call on them.
Wui, Trailing baa a fine assortment of the lat
est going clothing. Give him a call.
