j it. fThe farmers were here with
[ their tobacco, and they brought the

of the . many bargain* offered by
:>ur merchants. It was a busy day,
^nd the buyer* realized that bsrg
fauiy could be had here and^the fur
ther fact was strongly impressed:
j-that Pfixboro merchants are fully
ajive to the best interests of tHe
j tcadir.K public.
We are glad that it has been dem

[just a& cheap ??here ;?s on any mar

iot only campare favorably in price*
; but also in variety. If you would
