There is always more or less competition in every town or city for business, and there is an old saying that “competition is the life of trade,” andj we believe it.
We are not greedy and we do not want or expect all the business, but we want our share, and expect to get it. New goods rolling in every day, and also rolling
out as fast as they arrive. A beautiful line of dainty Dress Goods to arrive this week.

We hear nearly every day that
some one has found another tin mine,
and we have been shown specimens
of ores from the newly discovered
mines, but in almost every instance
there are circumstances which leave
the genuineness of the discovery
doubtful. We have no doubt how
ever, that there is more tin here than
that discovered by Capt. Ross, and
that in time it will be found.
State Geologist Sloan, attracted by
the discovery of tin ore in this coun
ty, has left the phosphate, marl and
clay beds of the lower part of the
State and is now here in the territory
described by the gallant soldier and
distinguished scientist, Leiber, as
containing more and a greater varie
ty of minerals than any other part
of the State. Mr. Sloan has a wide
field here and to secure best results
from his investigations in this sec
tion our people should give him all
the aid possible. He is a competent
officer, and a full report from him on
our mineral resources moans much
for us.

preciation of their faithful work.

attention of his company and we
wish for him its fullest enjoyment.
