C.C. Risk, the popular Dry Goods man of Fairfield, is again home, after an absence of several weeks in the east, where he has been purchasing his fall and winter stock, and which we can assure our readers is the handsomest and best selected in the city. His counters are completely stacked with Dress Goods and Shawls of every conceivable style and quality, and at prices that defy the strongest opposition. Making a specialty in these two departments, he flatters himself that he cannot fail to suit the tastes of the most fastidious. He keeps on hand, at all times, every number in the celebrated Tiger Brand Black Alpacca, superior in finish, color and fabric to any imported. Also, a full line of Black Silks and Irish Poplins, at bottom price.

His stack of Western Woolens is large and complete, and his prices are low.

He has a good stock of Boots and Shoes as there is in town, and his prices are guaranteed to be as low. His Custom made Boot is just the thing for the farmer. It is sewed and pegged by hand, and warranted to be as good as any shop made.

Buying exclusively for cash, dealing only with first-class houses, and keeping the newest and best stock in town, with his motto, "AS CHEAP AS THE CHEAPEST," he cannot fail to draw a large trade. To look through his stock is to buy, for he has the newest styles out.
