We endeavored to show Mr. Mc Intosh that he should not be too hast: iin this matter, and that he ought t< wait for the new administration to bt given a chance, but he said that hi: people have made up their minds anc it would be useless to try to persuadt them out of it.

This concern boasts of being Scaterers to the public, they do not wait ~until they have calls for goods before e they fill up their stock, but they study a the wants and needs of the trading pub r lic and then find the best markets to supply these wants and needs. Take a s trap to their store ahd we ventut e that you will concede there is not a better a ppointed establishment in the Stats. What has built up this magnificent business? It was the close attention to -their work, and their systematic meth Sods, not only so, they are live wires Swbo are not content for the trading public to come to them to inquire if theyhavethegoods, but they gosahead osekfrthe best and then let the people know they have what they want Not only has this concern a full and complete stock of everything to tempt the appetite, and to make the house keeper happy, but they also carry many articles of adornment for the home, they keep things which bring eladnes to the hearts of friends, and they are up-to-date with all of their novelties. It would be hard for us to describe their stock of goods, their store is a veritable emporium where everything first class can be bought. The best wiy to get an idea of what the Manning Grocery has to offer is to read the advertisement and then mak e a personal inspection. The force in their store is an intelligent body of young men who will take a delight in pointing out and showing the goods, and directing attention to many things whicn will aid the housekeeper in making selections for a "big dining" when the college boys and girls with their friends come home for the holi days. These people are hustling all of the time, and if there is anything that can be found in any market in this country which will please their trade they get it and take the chances of selling. It is this spirit of energy, together with the courteous attention, -and the quick delivery which has given them a reputation that is as valuable. from a business viewpoint as the goodsj on their shelves. Get your pantries ready to be filled up for the nolidays, and if there is anything which from oversight they have not in stock all you have to do is toe mention it and it will be forthcoming as fast as the wires and express can bring them. Did we undertake to enumerate what can be seen at the Manning Grocery it would take up more space than they are using in their advertisement, therefore, take it from us that there is no establishment anywhere better prepared to please thbe trade as toe quantity, quality and price.
