Speaking of Wheeler, t no photographer,
south of court house, is like telling our read
ers about something they don't know. But
it is customary with that gentleman of art to
publicly thank his customers fur their liber
al patronage. Affairs at this gallery are in
the best of shape. The work that is being
turned out compares with any in the land.
Many new attractions have been gathered
in by Mr. Wheeler, so that now his facilities
for photographic work are unexcelled.
When in town call on Wheeler, south of
court house.
Keep it before the people that Oak Hall
