die is beyond comprehension. " All is

being hardly standing room n'e re
gret that for want of space we are un
able to giveevi-u an extended synop
sis of the entertainment It can be
summed up in the words, lovely
splendid and most entertaining. The
hits were peculiarly to the point
eliciting the greatest amusement.

Early Closing.
It is a matter of some surprise that
no action has, so far, been taken by
our mtrchants looking to an early
closing of their places of business
during the heated term. This is
somewhat outside of the usual mode
of procedure. The arguments in
favor of early closing are so numer
one, and have been so often present
ed that it would seem almost super
fluous to reiterate them. The ad van
tages to the employer, employees and
citizens are alike beneficial. It must
be apparent that but little custom
can be gained by a merchant keep
ing open his store these short nights.
It can hardly reimburse him for the
lights burned. Of course the argu
ment will be advanced that by keep
ing open, a portion of the community
is accommodated, and this argument
would hold good if a sudden shut
down be made, but while it is gener
ally known that the store will be
closed at night, the public would
soon become acquainted with the sit
uation and govern themselves cord
lngly. In this way our merchants
would sell equally as much and both
employers and employees would have
much needed rest. We hope to see
the ball set in motion at once. It is
a custom in most cities of the conn
try, and wherever adopted it works
well for all concerned .
We are receiving dally new goods
in wash fabrics, ribbons, lawns, flow
ers, millinery goods, silk mitts.gloves,
handkerchiefs, dress goods. &c. Our
goods are marked in plain figures and
sold at marked prices, and are as
cheap as they can be bought any-
wnere in this city.

Sing Song Sixpence.
If you have no sixpence you can't
slog much song; and if you squander
the sixpence the dollars will go. If
you spend your sixpence at Swin
Dell's you will soon have dollars to
spare. Last week we were in
New Tork and bought thousands
of dollars worth of real solid bar.
gains in straw matting of the pret
tiest patterns you or any one else
ever saw. Price little over half what
they are worth. In the dress goods
world we found people who were
willing to unload at auy price for
cash, which we had and which we
spent freely. A trip to Swindell's
means a great deal for you.
