E. S. Carrithers, proprietor of the
American Clothing house of this

many other articles the cost price
had been materially raised over what
he had been previously paying for
the same articles. For instance,
men's hose that he sold all the sea
son for 25 cents per pair he would
be obliged to ask now for the same
articles 35 cents. Of course this
small raise of ten cents on one pair
of cotton stocking? don't amount to
much, but suppose you buy ten pair
then you are out one dollar over and
above what yeu paid the past sea-
sou for the same article.

fiud that hand power presses are too
slow to perform the necessary work
required. The subscription list of
the booming Times for the past six

necessity for steam more and more

outlay of money will be well spent
it is our intention at an early date if
possible, to make this much needed
