Both menhad cuts upon their hands and were poisoned from the hide of the deer. “The left hand of Mr. King became very badly swollen and painful, the poison extending all over the hand and fingers and resembling a severe case of erysipelas, while Mr. Husom’s thumb only was affected. Both men, though they suffered considerably, are getting well.

The Irrepressible Cniaiia having come to conclusion that every cent saved in carrying on his business is just so much saved to his patrons, has determined to concentrate all his energies on the eentral establishment at the corner of Main and Commercial atroete, Hence he will on TANUARY Iast, 1887, Discontinue the Branch Store on Broad Street. Between Tuesday, December 7th, and the end of this month, ‘he will offer for sale at cash in hand, all the goods, fixtures, (consisting of shelves, counters, gas fixtures, etc.) of the store and tailoring department, AT LESS THAN COST.

When I say I will sell Ot I mean it, A certain merchant in this city advertises, “Down with High Prices,” and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. . He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts, He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, ete., thrown in. He offers for $4 50 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at$8. He did a similar-thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. *#till he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is hore yet. [have been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. I claim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer A REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championshi . I have never said that I would sell for $10 a-suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not make profits big enough to do so, Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $1, a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who . charges only a living profit cando. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suite for $25 and $30, and can afford to throw in @ good many things, I ask the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes, I say thatI sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. The reason is (I can show bills to . prove it) that I buy direct from New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. Iam the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good deal of work myself. The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. I am here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here, They are all at enmity with me, and want to get me away assoon as they can, But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go, AgainI say I am here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity, I ask the people to continue their fiberal patronage, and I will do iny level best to continue deserving it. I only ask ion small rota and will not want anything more.

This does not mean reduction in extent a Business. The Great Wax IN DRY GOODS AND CLOTHING Having now fairly got. under way on my account between the dealers wie eo mettle to make the best fight he knows how. The Irrepressible Cniaiia having come to conclusion that every cent saved in carrying on his business is just so much saved to his patrons, has determined to concentrate all his energies on the eentral establishment at the corner of Main and Commercial atroete, Hence he will on TANUARY Iast, 1887, Discontinue the Branch Store on Broad Street. Between Tuesday, December 7th, and the end of this month, ‘he will offer for sale at cash in hand, all the goods, fixtures, (consisting of shelves, counters, gas fixtures, etc.) of the store and tailoring department, AT LESS THAN COST. The Stock Embraces CLOTHING, (Ready Made and Cnstom) Gents Furnishing Goods FINE HATS, Boots 3 & Shoes, Trunks, Ete. Everything in this Deing been bought but 60 days ago fora firstclass trade.

CLOTH BY THE YARD AT HALF PRICE. This is not a “retiring ies § Siskcisaalt bal sale like that of some of the old merchants who advertised to that effoct two or throe years ago end are here yet. When I say I will sell Ot I mean it, A certain merchant in this city advertises, “Down with High Prices,” and he claims to have been in business here about 14 years. . He says he pays 100 cents on the dollar for his goods. He claims he will give a prize of a clock worth $75, giving everybody who buys $5 worth a guess at a sack of chestnuts, He offers a suit that he formerly sold for $15, for $10, with a lot of trash like neckties, handkerchiefs, ete., thrown in. He offers for $4 50 a shelf-worn suit that he used to sell at$8. He did a similar-thing two years ago when he said he was about to retire from business. *#till he is here, Another competitor advertised his house and business for sale, but he is hore yet. [have been but three years in this place. I am the only man that originally reduced the prices of Dry Goods and Clothing in the county. I claim the championship in reducing and keeping down prices. I offer A REWARD For proof that I am not entitled to that championshi . I have never said that I would sell for $10 a-suit I had been getting $15 for, hecause I do not make profits big enough to do so, Neither have I offered to throw in a white shirt worth $1, a necktie worth 75 cents, and pocket handkerchiefs. These are things no merchant who . charges only a living profit cando. When Isell a suit for $15, my profit is only about $2. He hassold $15 suite for $25 and $30, and can afford to throw in @ good many things, I ask the public if the man who pays 100 cents on the dollar, and gives $75 prizes can sell as cheap as I can, when I pay only 50 cents on the dollar for goods and give no prizes, I say thatI sell goods in this city at lower prices then other dealers can buy for. The reason is (I can show bills to . prove it) that I buy direct from New York City, and get a discount by buying for cash. Iam the only dealer in Nevada county who does his own manufacturing, and I can prove it. I buy the cloth and have it made into suits. I pay no big rents. I employ boys right eut of school as clerks, and do a good deal of work myself. The expense thus saved is for the benefit of the public who get low prices in consequence of my savings. I am here to stay. I have not got rich in the three years I have been here, and I do not expect to get rich. I have no communication, nor am I in connivance with any of the other dealers here, They are all at enmity with me, and want to get me away assoon as they can, But they cannot drive me, nor hire me, nor coax me to go, AgainI say I am here to stay, and stay I will in spite of all opposition and enmity, I ask the people to continue their fiberal patronage, and I will do iny level best to continue deserving it. I only ask ion small rota and will not want anything more. After New Year I will offer the Ladies some great tndnoniaeili in the way of CALICO, MUSLINS and ether STAPLE GOODS, +] As my Dry Goods Store is too much crowded now to display them hoy ore stored in Sans Franslase 1 I eng make roogs 008 paies cy Country orders oiianiee Gates filled the day they are received.
