llow Watches are Made.
It will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a Solid Gold Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
precious metal used, is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The snrplns gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned In
james boss’ patent gold
WATCH CASKS, this waste of precious
metal is overcome, and the same solidity and
strength produced at from one-third to one
half of tlie usual cost of solid cases. 'This
process is of the most simple nature, as fol
lows : a plate of nickle composiiion metal,
especially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of solid gold soldered one on each
side. The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip
of heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, btzels, etc., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold jo these cases is sufficiently thick to
admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
Carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing tbe gold
THIS IS THE ONLY CASK MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.

trated Catalogue, and to see warrant.
Among the useful Toilet articles
we notice a much-liked preparation for the
hair possessed of properties so remarkable
that no one who cares to own a clea n and
healthy scalp with beautiful hair should
pass it untried Its properties are
cleansing, invigorating und heaiing, and af
ter a few applications the hair Ceases to
fall. Dandruff and Humors disappear and
the hair grows clean, soft and silky. It
keeps the head cool and comlortatde and
gradually restores the hair if gray or faded
to tbe natural and life-like color beautiful to

WITH AN UNTARNISHED
Reputation for Fair Dealing I
THIS may be tailed a fine speech by tho*s
who have never taken the tronble to
make my acquaintance, or to study my mode
of doing business. Still, 1 don’t ask any
body to take my word, or in tact to be influ
enced in any way by a more advertisement,
but cordially invite all to cull und investigate
lor themselves, feeling sure I can prove that
I mean business and every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
weather. Nothing but steady, low prices,
year in and year out, will create and muin
tain a trade such as I have had since 1 com
menced business. No need of argument —
prices alone tell the story.
I have now in stock, and will coutiuau to
keep such articles as
DRY GOODS, GROCERIES,
BOOTS. SHOES, HATS, CAPS,
PLANTATION SUPPLIES,
And a varied und choice assortment of
GENERAL MERCHANDISE,
Thanking my friends and patrons for their
former liberal support, 1 hope, by keeping
the best and selliug as low as :he lowest, to
merit a continuance of the same.
