Th* y will no longer be found loi»e ing and wasting their money in questionable ways, an aa '' the apparel oft denotes the man" they will become more particular in the cho:ce of their tailors. Messrs Ckaighead and Bbrbyman are evidently keeping "up to date" as The Leading Tailors and Outfitters of ABhburton. Their immense stock ot new winter goods comprise the newest sty es anl materala a? now worn at Home, and of course their long et&b'.ished reputation for fib and workman* ship need only be pointed oufc to visitors and strangers who may wish to know where to find the boat Uilora and to get eatire " satis* faotioo,' Ladiea also find their orders for tailor made costumes exeouted by this firm iv the latest styles most eatiefaotory, and at the molt reasonable prices.
