The News says that Harrison is not yet done
| talking about the performances Of one James
neutrality-suspicious. whom some of his patrons
would gladly bring to bear the strong arm Of
| the law. His mode Of procedure is thusly: He
| goes into town, employs some leading man to
| accompany him to the abodes of wel-to-do cit
liens, mostly of the farming fraternity, and
| sells each Of them bill of goods amounting
| to $3.50. We say he Sells the goods for this
ne Is almost sure to do. Each parcel contains
the cloth for eight suits of gents clothes, three
pairs OF pants, one real Paisley shawl one
summer wooden shawl and two or three ladies'
SILK dresses,-all for $3.50. Some customers are
well pleased with their bargain, while so me are
not, they being not so much dissatisfied with
the goods, we believe, as at their being obliged
10 raise so much money at short order for cloth
ingwhich will take lthem long time to wear
out.
