FALL GOODS. &C.

Being TOO much hurried TO put the adveF'
tisement Of Mr.. ]. r. BENNETT into type 10
time for to-day's paper. we take pleasure 10
stating 70 our town and country friends that he
has received and just opened an extensive az

terms for cash or produce. We know Of no.
thing usually to be found in stores hsseannot

Of new supplies, aud others are preparing for
Having in,' SO we infer that the fall stocks Of
our merchants will be amply sufficient for the
demand.
]. BENNETT & Co.. as will be seen from our
advertising columns. are not behind the fore
most in preparing for the winter trade, and il
offering inducements to farmers to bring on
their produce. They are thus early prepared
to receive beef cattle, and purchase it before
it necessary for the farmer to commence feed
ing.
Heretofore, cur merchants have been rather
backward about advertising, but the brighten
ing up Of business is bringing them to it as the
best means Of securing large share Of it.
We think we are borne ont by truth in say
ing that those who have sufficient !iberaIity to
induce them to look at the interests Of others
in community, will be the most likely to give
liberal bargains to their customers. If we are
correct in this conclusion, look 10 the columns
of The Herald for places to find good bargains.

U The editor of the Cincinnati Gazette

editor of the Miners Express and ourself,
written after perusal Of the Express only, in
which we were charged with dragging the mo.
ther Of the editor of the Express from her do.
nestle Preside, in manner of disrespect to
the aged lady, which was republished in that
paper. with a small addition Of the editors
own filth. This scurrility was copied into the
Davenport Gazette, paper whose editor is so
wrapped up in his notions about Cincinnati,
that he fancies that it is almost the only place
worthy Of note in the world, and thinks all
his readers feel the same interest in whatever
emanates at Cincinnati that he does himself,
consequently his paper is aboct as much Of
Cincinnati paper as if published on Main ST.
in that city. Upon our enquiring as to what
the editor desired or expected to accomplish
BY republishing falsehoods against US, he re-.
plies that be copied it simply because it spoke
the TRUTH Now all we have to say, is tina,
we never said disrespectful word concerning
the mother of the editor Of the Express-lhat
the whipped spaniel Of the Republican, and
the editor of the Cincinnati Gazette, between
whom and monkey Davy Crockett was at
loss to know to which to apologize for having
said, the presence of both, that there was
family resemblance between them-bavo
falsely charged Us with the commission of an
act we should scorn-and that the editor Of
the Davenport Gazette. in republishing their
SANDER, knew that he wac inficting an injury

to justify it. We call upon him TO produce,
from our sheet, disrespectful allusion to the

must stand charged with giving circulation to
falsehoods. known to be sucl, when uttered.

We are informed that counterfeit ten
dollar notes upon the Missouri Bank are
in circulation. They are said TO be well
executed, but the paper is bad. They
have been thrown into circulation in the
counties south of this, near the boundary
line of the State. 1t is thought that there
is gang of counterfeiters engaged in Civ.

which, it is thought, extends to the south.
