In a card published in the issue of the Enquirer for last week, over the signature of J. B. Allison, "Clerk of Board," etc., the attention of the undersigned is called to the denial of a statement made in a former card published by us. In regard to said denial, we say, emphatically, that at a called meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, immediately preceding the publication of the annual report, the said James B. Allison did cheerfully, willingly and voluntarily, make said promise. We further say, that at the next regular meeting of the Board, he virtually admitted that he had made said promise, by attempting to justify himself for failing to comply ' with it. We further say that to our earnest and urgent solicitations that he would still make a statement in regard to the Poor House Accounts, over his own signature as Clerk, that ho absolutely and positively refused to do so, and told us that if we desired such statement, we could make one ourselves, which we reluctantly did. Having said this much, and having, as we believe, fixed the responsibility of the whole of these, to us, very j unpleasant communications, where they proper ly belong, and while we do not impute improper i motives to any one, we leave the public to judge ' the motives which prompted said denial. .] R.

A Talk With the Old Chap. | ^TTJTELL, old follow, how is it with you this Tt week, and how are things moving along; that Is, how is trade?" "Well, sir, for the past week it has been pretty quiet. People seemed to be lmsv on their tarms, and earing but little about trading. My trade HAS BEEN VERY GOOD, Much better than I had anticipated ; but I am so well fixed up for trade this season, I could not well help having a good trade. I have what the people want and at as low a price as they can possibly buv. I always keep a fresh stock, carry few old goods, consequently I get a good deal of trade in that way. People will go where they can get what they want at low prices, no matter if they do not have much fancy for the Old Chap. They fancv his goods and low prices, and his manner "of dealing, as he deals fairly with everybody." "Well, sir, what about your new departure, Dress Making ? You were the first man to start that business and I heard a good many business men say that they thought vou would make a failure in* that business. How many young ladies do you employ all the time?" "Seven, sir; and have plentv for them to do." 1 "I understand you have had to work a great deal at night to keep up ?" "Quite true, sir." "I see others are trying to do the same thing. What are they doing?" "I cannot tell you, sir, as I do not meddle with other men's business. I suppose they are doing well." "Plow about opening bundles that come from other Stores and making the parties dissatisfied, or meeting a man on the street and saying what did you pay for that Overcoat?" "Well, do you want the truth ?" "Yes, sir." "Well, I paid seventeen dollars." "Well, I can sell you one for 810.00?yes, even ql k a/1 iiiof- 00 maa/1 om/1 nu " vxv. w, J wow ao ftuuu ?uu cmj "Do you do that?" "WELL, SIR, I NEVER HAVE, Nor do I allow it to bo done in my Store. I cannot sav what I may do in the future, if my trade should leave me and I get desperate. Well, sir, if you ever hear of the Old Chap at any such work as that, you may say he is crazy." "Well, Old Chap, I was just asking for information. I have heard of its' being done." "Well, sir, I surely think it isa mistako, as I do not believe any of us merchants in Yorkville would be guilty of such an act." "Well, old fellow, how about Dress Goods This Season? How is your trade, and what kind of goods are you selling mostly?" "Well ?ii\ mv trade in Dress Goods has been I pood. Black Cashmeres, Jersey Cloths, colored Cashmeres and black Silks have been selling mostly with me. The black Ottoman Silks are also selling well." "Well, I guess you are selling a good many Silks. They say they can buy them cheap from you, and get them trimmed up and and made so nicely. I think you are fitting up most of the bridal parties." "Well, Mrs. DOBSON, I think, ought to have the credit for that. The ladies all like to trade with her, and then they have confidence in her, as they know she never speaks about the matter, and a great many ladies buy Dresses from Mrs. DOBSOX because she tells them how to make and trim it free of charge." "Well, Old Chap, what about your CLOTHING TRADE ?" "Well, sir, the weather has been rather warm for heavy goods ; though I am doing pretty well. I have a splendid stock and am selling very low. I have an elegant stock of men's and boys' Overcoats, and will sell them as low as any one. I meet all competition in any kind of gpods." "Well, sir, what about Shoes?" "My Shoe trade is good. I have a large and well selected stock of Shoes, of all grades, and will sell them as cheap as any one will do. I have had an elegant trade on Hoots and fine Shoes." "Well, Old Chap, it seems that your trade has been pretty good on most things."* "Well, sir, I keep new and good goods and sell them as cheap as I can afford, and never misrepresent them to make sales." "Your Millinery Trade, What about that ?" "The trade in Hats is never as good in the Fall as it is in the Spring; but I have done very well. Done well on all kinds of Trimmings; also on ^ * x--1- -i... ..I T 1/OllliailS, uiauiiain, i tuascs, uim x u?tv sold very few Cloaks. T still have a nice stock of them which I will sell very short to close out. I also have a line of nice Bags and Satchels for ladies and Valises for men. My Crockery Department is well supplied with staple goods, and I have just received a lot of Toilet Sets, Motto and Moustache Cups, Cups and Plates to match, a splendid line of Dolls, and some small Clocks, which you can carry about in your pocket, will run in any position* and will only cost you ?2.00. Call and buy one. I have somo nice Gold Rings, Gold Pins and Sets, also Silver Cups, Buttora, Pickels and Castors, which I think cheap.
