A regular meeting of Pulaski Council No

After the installation, the members form

the Republican Blues, In the opposite part
of the building, where a sumptuous
banquet had been prepared, under
the direction of the commtttee, in
honor of the occasion, by the ladies of
the Parsonage Aid Society. The tables were
handsomely decorated aud presented a
beautiful sight, being laden with the sub
stantial* and delicacies of the season. At

No Injury from the Cold Snap.
The apprehensions which were aroused
concerning the effect upon the young fruit
trees by the recent cold snap in Florida, wa
are pleased to state, are without foundation.
We learn from Mr. John H. Griffin, agent of
the Florida Dispatch Line, who reached the
city yesterday, after an extended tour
through F.orida, that, although the weather
was unusually cold for that section the lat
ter part of the year, anil there was a freeze,
very little injury was done. At Hawkins
ville, Fla., 175 miles above Jack
sonville, he saw lime and citron
trees in full bloom, that had not been in
jured in the least. The vegetation was not
damaged, and the condition generally In the
Flowery Land is all that could be desired.
The hotels at Jacksonville he reports as
crowded, and the Northern travel unusually
large at this season.
Mr. Griffin retains his connection as Pas
senger Agent with the Savannah,Florida and
Western Railway, aud is doing good service
in the Interest of his company.
The Dam at the ’’Cross Tides.”
Over a quarter of a century since efforts
were made to divert the current of water
from the Back river, at what is known
as the “Cross Tides,” at the head of King’s
Island, but these attempts were either total
failures, or only partial successes, until
the construction of the present submerged
dam, which was completed sometime since.
This work is evidently accomplishing the
long desired object, that of Increasing the
volume of water fl rwing through
the river, which passes by our
wharves. The bluff opposite King’s Island
shows the effect of the strong current, aud
a general improvement in the cbaunel from
that point to the city is reported. With
this and other improvements now going on,
and those in contemplation, Georgia’s sea
port, and the future entrepot for the peo
ple of the Sou’h and West, will secure the
anticipated twenty-five feet of water from
our wharves to the sea.

A miniature Lake and Cascade.
Lt6t spring, when the Barnard and Ander
son Street Railroad was improving the
pleasure resort and rifle range at the ter
minus of the road, and which has since be
come popular under the name of Battery
Paik, the moat surrounding the old Confed
erate fortification withia the enclosure was
: cleared out, and a dam put in where formerly
! the water from the drainage of some of the
adjacent low lands flowed through. The re
cent rains have filled the moat,which is now
a broad sheet of water, and a miniature cas.
cade flows over the dam. If this little lake
could be preserved, lt would form an attrac
tive feature and add greatiy to the appear
ance of the Paik.

THE MUNICIPAL TICKET.
GRAND MASS MEETING AT THE
THEATRE.
D. tl. Parse Nominated for Mayor— :
A Strong Aldermanlc Ticket—Reso
lutions.
In accordance with the published call,
there was a mass meeting held at the
Theatre last evening to take action in re
gard to the approaching municipal election.
The building was crowded, the assemblage
being one of the largest and most respecta
ble that has ever been seen at a political
gathering in this city, and included a num
ber of venerable citizens who are rarely
seen at public meetings at night.
Shortly after eight o’clock Capt. George
A. Mercer, Chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee of the county, made his
appearance on the stage, and was greeted
with applause. He announced that, In con
sequence of the absence of Capt. H. C.
Cunningham, the Secretary of the commit
tee, it would be necessary to elect a Secre
tary of the meeting, and requested that a
nomination be made by the audience.
Mr. B. H. Richardson was nominated and
elected.
Captain Mercer then briefly stated the ob
ject of the meeting as expressed in the call,
and that it now remained with the meeting
to do what they thought proper in regard to
the municipal election, and that be was
ready to hear any motions or resolutions.
Mr. T. J. McNish arose and moved that
a committee of five from each militia dis
trlst in the city be appointed by the Chair,
which committee shall be' empowered to
present nominations for Mayor and Aider
men of the city of Savannah.
The motion was seconded, when Mr. L.
H. Montmollin stated he had a substitute to
offer. He said he saw no necessity for the
appointment of a committee to make nomi
nations: that the duty could be equally as
well performed by the meeting. He had
some names to present for the considera
tion of the meeting, and if there were any
objections to them, they could be made.
He then read slowly the following ticket,
each name as it was announced being re
ceived with applause:
FOR MAYOR.
D. G. PURSE.
ALDERMEN.
Henry F. Willtnk. S. P. Hamilton.
Fred. M. Hull. R. B. Reppard.
Wm. B. Mill. D. R. Thomas
J. W. Tynan. Samuel B. Adams.
F. Grimball. Charles Collins.
M. J. Doyle. Abram Freidenberg.
He said that the ticket presented repre
sented the'varied interests of the city, and
bore the names of respectable citizens well
known and esteemed.
This substitute received several seconds,
and on being put to the meeting was adopt
ed by a decided vote, very few negatives
being heard.
Mr. Montmollin stated for the informa
tion of the meeting that there was every
reason to anticipate acceptance from the
gentlemen who had been nominated, which
announcement was received with applause.
Captain Henry Blun offered the follow
ing resolutions,which received a second and
were adopted almost unanimously:
Resolved , First, That it is the senso of the
people of this community, in mass meeting
assembled, that the city charter should bo
amended by the Legislature at the earliest
opportunity, so that tbe Mayor and Aider
men of Savannah shall have the right to
regulate and determine the salary of any
official elected by said Mayor and Aider
men, and payable out of the Treasury of
said city, and, further, that said Mayor and
Aldermen shall not have the right or power
to elect any officers for a longer term than
three months beyond the time for which
they themselves are elected by the people.
Second. That the system for the registra
tion of voters for municipal elections tn this
city is fraught with danger to our city, in
view of the facility with which fraud and
illegal practices are carried on under its
provisions, and we therefore recommend
such changes by the Legislature as will pro
tect the purity of the ballot and secure to
our citizens reasonable facilities and pro
tection In the exercise of the elective fran
chise, calling their attention specially to the
great abuses which are perpetrated through
the instrumentality of the registry ticket.
Mr. Montmollin then offered the follow
ing:
Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to
our immediate Senator and Representatives
the advisability of requiring the Sheriff of
Chatham county to perform the duties of
jailer iu this city, for such compensation as
may be fixed by the Mayor and Aldermen of
Savannah, not to exceed one thousand dol
lars per annum.
The reading of this resolution was greet
ed with great applause, which continued
several minutes, and received with seconds
from different portions of the house.
It wa3 then put before the meeting and
adopted.
The Chair desired to know If there was
any further business to be considered, and
none beiog offered, Mr. T. J. McNish moved
an adjournment, which was voted down.
Calis were then made for Hon. Rufus E.
Lester (who had been present, but had re
tired a lew minutes before), aud were con
tinued until the Chair announced that Mr.
Lestet was not present.
Cal's were made for Mr. Walter G. Charl
toD, which were continued until that gen
tleman was finally compelled to rise.
lie stated that whilst he was deeply grati
fied at the compliment of being called upon
to address this large and respectable meet
ing, he saw no occasion for saying anything.
He could congratulate the meeting upon
the harmonious manner in which the busi
ness had been conducted,and their selection
of a ticket composed of gentlemen against
whom there could be no cavil. For the
present incumbent of the Mayoralty he had
the highest and and warmest personal re
gard. He was one of his best friends, and
there was nothing that he would not do for
him. He considered, however, that the
nominee of this meeting should receive the
support of every good Democrat. [Ap
plause ] The respectable people of Savan
nah had come here to protest against the
abuses that have been perpetrated upon
this community. Without impugning
any one, it could bo asserted
that it had been sought to put in office, by a
pet version of the registration system, men
whom this community did not want and do
not approve of. This was the cause of this
meeting to-night, and it now remained for
the people to strike home at the polls on
Tuesday week with even more force than
had characterized the unanimity of their
action to-night.
These remarks were received with ap
plause, and as Mr. Charlton took his seat
calls were made for Adame, Collins, Ashby
and others, but there were no further re
sponses.
Mr. Montmollin th.en moved that the
chair appoint a committee to notify the
gentlemen who had. been selected for
Mayor and Aldermen of their nomination,
and to request their acceptance. The mo
tion was adopted, and, after a few minutes,
the Chair announced the following as the
committee:
Messrs. L H. MontmolliD, Luke Carson,
R. M. Barthelmess, David Wells and John
Rutherford.
Captain Blun renewed the motion to ad
journ, which wa* seconded and carried, and
the meeting dispersed.
Capt. D. G. Furse, who has been honored
with the nomination for Mayor, has been a
member of the Board of Aldermen for two
tirms, and as Chairman of the Finance
Committee has displayed rare ability, as
mainly through his exertions was the bond
compromise effected, the credit of
the city restored, and Ler new
bonds pieced on the market
among first class securities. Having proved
so valuable an Alderman, we have no doubt
that should he be elected Mayor his admin
istration will be a credit to the pity, and
give general satisfaction.
Guilty of Wrong.
Some people have a fashion of confusing
excellent remedies with the roa6a of
“patent medicines,” and in this they are
guilty of a wrong. There are
6ome advertised remedies fully worth
all that is -asked for them, and
one at least we know of —Hop Bitters.
The writer has had occasion to use the Bit
ters in just such a climate as we have most
of the year in Bay City, and has always
found them to he and reliable,
doing all that is claimed for them. — Tribun p.

THE CITY REGISTRATION.
Decision or the Supreme Court.
The decision of the Supreme Court in the
registration ease from this city, although
officially announced, has never been pub
lished In full, and until yesterday no copy
of it had been received here. Capt. Geo. A.
Mercer, one of the counsel for the com
plainants in the case, who had written to
Atlanta for a certified copy of the decision,
yesterday received the document. As in
terest to see the decision is general we ob
tained the use of this copy and herewith
present it in fall:
John McMahon et alii vs. the Mayor and Al
dermen of the city of Savannah, Injunction
from Chatham.
Speer, J.
McMahon et alii filed their bill in Chatham
Superior Court, alleging that they are citizens
of the city of Savannah, and of the county and
State aforesaid, are taxpayers of said city.and
some of th“m owners of taxable property in
aaid city to a large amount.
They also allege that they are duly qualified
and entitled to vote at elections for Mayor and
Aldermen of said city. They show that the
constitution of the State of Georgia declares
that every male citizen of the United States,
twenty-one years of age. who has resided in
the State one year next preceding the election,
and six months in the county in which he offers
to vote, and shall have paid all taxes required
of him, and which he may have had an oppor
tunity of paying agreeably to law except for
the year of the elec.ion, shall be deemed au
-elector.
And said constitution farther provides that
the General Assembly may provide from time
to time for the registration of all electors, that
laws of a general nature shall have uniform
operation, and that no special law shall be en
acted in any case for which provision has been
made by an existing general law; that local
and private laws passed for the benefit of citi
zens, not inconsistent with the supreme law, nor
with said constitution, shall have the force of
statute law, and that all legislative acts in vio
lation of said constitution are void.
Complainants allege that the Mayor and Al
dermen of the city of Savannah claim the right
to add to the qualification of an elector at gen
eral elections for Mayor and Aldermen in said
city, that such voter shall have made all legal
returns required by the ordinancesof said city,
and shall hare been registered according to
law.
Complainants further allege that said defen
dants, through its officers and agents, and par
ticularly through Rebarer, its Clerk of Council,
is now engaged in enforcing against your ora
tors and other citizens and taxpayers, said ille
gal qualifications and requirements, claiming
the right to do so under the charter of said
ci'y, as amended by au act of the General As
sernb y of Georgia, approved August 7th, 1872.
Baid act provides that said Clerk shall open a
list for the registration of voter*, to remain
open from the first Monday in July until the
first Monday in December, till 2 o’clock p. m.,
It made the duty of such Clerk, upon the ap
plication in person, and not by proxy of any
person entitled to vote, in said city, as required
by said city charter, and by said defendants to
register the name of such person, age, occupa
tion or business, and place of residence; and,
further, the applicant shall pay to such Clerk,
for the City Treasurer, the sum of one dollar
in lieu of poll tax, and shall receive from said
Clerk a certificate of his registration, upon ihe
of which he shall be entitled to
vote, And not otherwise. And further, said
Clerk may, in any case, administer an oath to
the applicant, touching his tight to be register
ed. Baid Clerk is required to publish a list of
the names in one of the gazettes in the city of
Savannah, also to affix sad list at the court
house door, and Exchange, and to furnish the
Magistrates presiding at the election for Mayor
and Aldermen a list of the names as aforesaid.
And said Magistrates are authorized to admiu
i iter to any person attempting to vote an oath,
containing among other things the averment
that such voter was duly registired as afore
said, which, it is alleged, differs essentially
frsm the oath prescribed for voters by the
constitution cf Georgia. It is further alleged
that said registration and production of said
certificate are made essential qualifications < t
the right to vote, and that any person voting
or attempting to vote, who is not so qualified,
Is subjected to a criminal prosecution, and sub
je -ted to be committed instanter, bv the pre
siding Magistrate, to the common jail.
It is further charged that saiu election law
is manifestly inconsistent with the constitu
tion of Georgia, and prescribes qualifications
for electors not authorized in said constitu
tion, and that said law’s provisions have been
repealed by said constitution, aud raid law
will disfranchise lawful voters under the con
stitution, and deprive them of their right to
vote without paying poll on their part.
Notwithstanding the facs set foitb, the said
defendants and their Clerk are now engaged
in carrying out said illegal requirements, and
insists that before any legal voter under the
constitution of Georgia can be allowed to vote
at the approaching election for Mayor and
Aldermen, to be held in said city of Savannah
on the third Tuesday in January next, he
must first register his name, pay a registra
tion tax, be prepared to exhibit bis certificate
of registration, and to take the oath as afore
said. It is further alleged that the defendants
cannot legally collect the poll tax, and pay the
same into the city treasury. Complainants in
s'st that they and all other voters and tax
payers wdl be subjected to annoyance and ex
pense of a criminal prosecution if they in
sist upon their rights as electors under said
constitution; that the said officers of said city
who superintend and manage the election are
without means, and could not respond in dam
ages to your orators for refusing to receive
their votes. Further, it is averred to prevent
a multiplicity of suits, ainl to obtain adequate
relief and protection, a resort to ejuity is
necessary.
That they are property-owners and taxpay
ers interested in the legal and proper appro
priation of all moneys in the city treasury;
that defendants have no right to use public
moneys contributed by taxpayers to carry out
any such illegal act. That carrying out this
act is causing great expense in publishing,
printing, purchasing books, etc., and that large
sums are being misappropriated for this ille
gal purpose. Complainants charge an
open violation of said law of registra
tion; that many of said applicants
da not and are not required
to pay said Clerk the registration tax; certifi
cates are not being delivered by said Clerk as
required by said act, but parties desiring to
control the result of the coming municipal
election have be*n, and are still presenting
names of persons alleged by them to be quali
fied voters, and raid Clerk is filling up certifi
cates of registration, without requiring them
to pay the r< gistration fee, with a view and
intention of delivering the same af some
future day prior to said election, not to said
applicants, but to parties so furnishing said
names. It is alleged said practice is contrary
to the manifest spirit acd intention of said
ac'.and leads to gross frauds, and to the defeat
of the popular wid.
The prayer is not only for a subpoena, but
also for an injunction directed to defendants,
its officers and agents, and toßebarerasClerk,
enjoining them,and each of them, from further
carrying out, or attempting to enforce or carry
out in any way, said illegal election law and
s.stem of registration, from printing
books and tickets, and lists of said reg
is'ered persons, and from expending any of
the public moneys in carrying out said law,
etc , and from furnishing to managers who
will preside at Faid elections any list of the
names of registered persons,and to restrain the
dedvery of any certificates of registration in
the hands and control of defendants, etc.
To this bill defendants tiled a general de
inurrer. and also three separate answers, which
it is not necessary for our purpose, we should
set forth.
The bill with the affidavits, answer, exhibits,
etc., were submitted to the consideration of
the presiding Judge on application for an in
junction, and who refused said injunction and
passed the fo'lowing order;
On tbe hearing upon the rule to show cause
why an injunction should not issue this day
had, it being the opinion of the court that the
city registration law is valid and constitutional
and still of force. Upon this ground alone, and
without passing upon ihe effect of the affida
vits submitted, it is considered and ordered by
the court, that the injunction be, and the same
is hereby denied and refused.
To which decision complainants excepted
and assign the same as error.
It will be seen from the judgment pro
nounced by the court helow, he limits it strict
ly to the question made, as to the eonstitu
tionality and present force and validity of the
registration law as referred to in complainants’
bi I, and against the enforcement of which the
i junction was sought. And in our review of
said decision we alone feel caiiea upon to re
v’ew the judgment pronounced and excepted
tu.
“All legislative acts in violation of the con
stitution are void, and it i* the duty of the ju
diciary so to declaro." Butin considering and
passing upon the question of the constitution
ality of a law the rule is too well established
and settled to be departed from, that it must bo
made to appear Uat the statute before it is de
clared inoperative for that cause must be
'plainly and palpably’ in violation cf the con
stitution.”—Bth Ga , 210.
“Again, the solemn act of the government
will not be set aside by the courts in a doutful
case. The incompatibility or repugnancy be
tween the statute and the constitution must be
‘clear and palpable.’9ih Ga , 254.
Guided by this rue, we are to Inquire whether
these registration laws complained of are
“plainly and palpably” in violation or the con
stitution of 1877. *
Tbe constitution declares “That every mftle
citizen of tbe United States (except as herein,
after provided) twenty-ono years of age, who
sjieU have resided In this Ntate twelve months
next preceding the election, and shall have re
sided six months in the county in which he
offers to vote, and shall have paid all taxes
which may heieafter be required of him, and
which he may have had au opportunity of pay
ing agreeable to law, except far year oi the
election shall he uqemed an elector.”
Further, in' Article 12, paragraph 4 of the
same instrument it is provided “That local and
private acts passei for the benefit of counties,
cities, etc., not inconsistent whh the supreme
law nor with this constitution, and wkich have
not exnired'nor have been repealed, shall have
tbe force of statute law.”
It is insisted by the plaintiffs in error that the
registration acts complained of ore in
consistent with and victativn of the
constitution ifi this, that they impose
upon the eteotor in the municipal elections
“qualifications" not required by the provision
of the constitution quoted; and hence that the
said registration acts are void, and their en
f( rcement ought to be enjoined. It might be
gi avely questioned whether the frameyc cf the
constitution intended to appty the qualifica
tions tnereip prescribed to those whd vote in
municipal elections. But it is not necessary
we shdulri decide this ques ion in the view we
take of this casf).
If is coiqplaitiad that the registration acts re
quire, in addition .to the qualifications pre
scribed bv the constitution also, that the elec
tors shall have made all returns required by
the ordinancf-s of said city, and that shall have
bssn required according to law.
9. That a tax of one doUar was required to
be paid in lieu of poll ta*. ' t! ’
3. Tfiey were required to take an oath before
the clerk.
*• yierlt was required to publish a list of
registered and to furnish list to the pre
siding Magistrates.
These, it is conteuded, are additional qualifi
cations thhf are violative df the
constitution.
These, jn our opinion, are statutory regula
tions designed to secure the discharge of du
ties cit(zen6 may owe the municipal govern
ment, and to protect the purity of the hallot.
It ig adding no new qualification, “and is con
stitutional if it does not amount to a denial or
evasion of the right conferred by the constitu
tion.”
The new requirement of a registration has
been b ot to be the addition of a qualifica
tion “ elector”—Cooley Const., Eteri, 601,
W lov Pjck., 485 ; 4th lowa, 804. they
are hut a means of carrying out the registra
tion law, and are strictly in unison with its
purposes, which are to provide for the proper
designation and ascertainment of a voter in
municipal elections. While it may not be, and
is not in the province of the Legislature to pre
scribe anew qualification tor an elector, it
certainly is within the scope of their authority
to regulate the mode and manner of conduct
ing elections, for the purpose of securing a
fair and legal result at the ballot box
If it is not competent for the Legislature to
provide regulations for the conduct and man
agement of municipal elections, beyond re
quiring the electors to be clothed with the
constitutional qualifications, then there
would be an end of all municipal
government, for every qualified voter of the
county could vote at the municipal election.
If registration is anew qualification, as con
tended for, so would residence in tne corporate
limits be, and each be violative of the consti
tution. To surrender the municipal govern
ments of the State to the consequencse of such
a construction of our constitution, would be
effectually to destroy them.
We can not see how the registration acts of
the city may not be consistent with the power
granted the Legislature to pass a general
law on the subject of registration, as contain
ed in the constitution. The mere grant of this
power generally we can not see how it repeals
the power once’exercised in behalf of the city
of Savannah. Municipal corporations form
an exception to the rule which forbids the Leg
islature to delegate any of its powers to sub
ordinate subdivisions. Restraints on the legis
lative power of control must be found in the
constitution of the State or they must rest
alone in the legislative discretion. If the legis
lative action in these cases operates injuriously
to individuals, the remedy is not with the
courts. 1 hey have no power to interfere, and
the people must be looked to to right, through
the ballot box, all their wrongs. Cooley, 193
-3; Ibid. 167; 5 Ga. 194; 2 Rawle 374; 8 Ga.
210—36; 16 Ga. 108.
The imposition of a poll tax of one dollar,
to be paid at the time of registration, Is sim
ply the payment of the usual poll tax due by
the citizen, and which the Stats allows the city
government to collect through its officials, and
for which the State gets credit In the distribu
tion of the school fund to Chatham county.
It is a tax imposed by the Slate tor educational
purposes, and collected by city officials under
this local law enacted by the General Assembly.
In any view we can take of this amended
act, of 1872, of the charter, we can see no an
tagonism between it and those provisions of
the constitution “prescribing the qualifications
of electors;" and seeing no inconsistency be
tween these enactments and the constitution,
we do not see “why this local law enacted for
the benefit of the city of Savannah," “not
being inconsistent with the supreme law, or
with the constitution,” aud “not having expir
ed or been repealed,” is not "of full force as
statute law," as the constitution declares.
Whatever may have been the evidence be
fore the court of the wrongs and frauds al
leged to have been perpetrated upon the tax
payers of the city, by the enforcement of these
registration acts, we can only say the Court
below pronounced uo judgment on the issues
therein presented, and we are not called upon
to review the same.
We can only add that the Legislature and
not the courts are invested with the discretion
of determining what laws are promotive of
the public morality or otherwise, and so long
as those laws are not plainly and palpably
viola’ive of the constitution the courts must
recognize and uphold them. Such abuses
must be corrected by an appeal to the people
at the ballot box. Courts have nothing to do
with the wisdom, policy or expediency of a
law. 'these are matters purely of legislative
deliberation and cognizance.
Let the judgment of the court below be
affirmed.

KIDNEGEN is highly recommended and unsurpassed for WEAK or FOUL KIDNEYS,
DROPSY, BRIGHT’S DISEASE, LOSS of ENERGY, NERVOUS DEBILITY, or any OBSTRUC
TIONS arising from KIDNEY or BLADDER DISEASES. Also for YELLOW FEVER, BLOOD and
KIDNEY POISONING, in infected malarial sections.
*3T- By the distillation of a FOREST LEAF with JUNIPER BERRIES and BARLEY MALT
we have discovered KIDNEGEN, which acts specifically on the Kidneys and Urinary Organs, re
moving deposits in the bladder and any straining, smarting, heat or irritation in the water
passages, giving them strength, vigor, and causing a healthy color and easy flow of urine. It
can be taken at all times, in all climates, without injury to the system. Unlike any other
preparation for Kidney difficulties, it has a very pleasant and agreeable taste and flavor. It con
tains positive diuretic properties and will not nauseate. Ladies especially will like it, and Gen
tlemen will find KIDNEGEN the best Kidney Tonic ever used!
NOTICE.— Each bottle bears the signature of LAWRENCE & MARTIN, also a Proprietary
Government Stamp, which permits KIDNEGEN to be sold (without license) by Druggists, Gro
cers and Cther Persons everywhere.
PUT UP IN QUART SIZE BOTTLES FOR GENERAL AND FAMILY USE.
If not found at vour Druggist’s or Grocer’s, we will send a bottle prepaid to the nearest ex
press office to you. LAWRENCE & MARTIN, Proprietors. Chicago, 111.

OUR SUCCESS!
Has been most gratifying. We have n\ore than doubled the volume of our business. It has
proved to us that the old adage:
“SMALL PROFITS AND QUICK SALES,”
IS a true one. We shall therefore follow it up strictly and continue still more to increase our
business. It is inherent in people to mistrust low prices. We have had to battle against
this prejudice, but we are pleased to say that our increased business proves we have o*er
come it, in a great number of instances. It is strange that in this enlightened age there are yet
people, and a goodly number of them, who do not think that they receive value unless they
have to pay two or three times as much as the article is really worth. W T e especially allude to
the Jewelry business, which is to the bulk of buyers yet a hidden mystery. We wish it to be
understood that our goods are equal to any to be had elsewhere. Our Waltham Watches are
the same as all other Waltham Watches, according to the fineness of the carat, and so with all
other goods. We are determined to sell only such goods as will give invariable satisfaction,and
what we do sell we guarantee to be as represented.
Owing to the increase of our business, we are carrying an exceedingly fine stock of all kinds
of goods, such as are to be found only in a FIRST CLASS JEWELRY HOUSE, and respect
fully invite the public to exarn]n@ OU' goods aud to compare prices.
