The very choice stock of English, French, and Continental novelties in this Department is worthy of everybody's attention, while those Bonnets and Hats made up "by our Milliner (who, by the way, is direct from Peter Robinson's, Oxford street, London), are an exception to the class of goods showing in town this season, both for style and prices. We have some really nice Hats at 5s 6d and up to 255. Bonnets from 7s 6d to 425. We use only the very best materials procurable, and which are entirely new this season (never having kept Millinery previously). We have a desire to foster a large trade_ in this Department, and with that view we intend to sell everything very cheap. " Please inspect the goods." DRESS DEPARTMENT. We have'not been able to keep a very assorted stock until this season.
