the local editor, knowing his business,
praises Smith’s shoes and Brown’s
hats. This has become such a com

really sorry to say, pays little attention
to our efforts of praise, and thus
overlooks, sometimes, our recom
mendations when they are really
worthy of attention, and in fact, of
tlie utmost importance to a certain
class, of our readers. Such an oeca
