In either ciae, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among other commodities wool and labor will go up. Now is the time, therefore, to lay in a Stock of clothing, before the general advance begins. • In order that we may not be caught napping we have just purchased • Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds •nd other materials necessary to a wellequipped tailoring establishment, which we are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for ctttbl style and fit, ft is almost for us to repeat what everybody knows, VijS, that by our tioten. ♦ifiemode of!cutting, and the care exerna«d by os in filing the figure, a mis-ht „**n impossibility. —Craighead and Co., Moi't T«aon4 elreqt.
