Dry Goods are practically as cheap as they were when cotton sold at seven cents, and believing they had about touched bottom we loaded up pretty freelv and consider ourselves in a position to meet all legitimate competition, as the following prices will show 6000 YARDS 36 inch ?ea Island BJ^ a at yard. 6000 YARDS Round Thread Plaid a Homespuns at yard 2500 YARDS Dress Prints at - - - - 5 cts. 2500 YARDS sroal At Old Prices. 25 Dozen Pillow Cases At 4 ?f\ ~ Fach. 6000 Yards Outings The Best Made | the yard. 10c * * * 26 Dozen SHEETS At Old Prices. 5000 Yds.
