woolens to be found in the State, and at
very low prices, which they cut and make
to order, Warranting perfect satisfaction.
We suggest that those editors who are
in the habit of copying our locals with
out giving credit, send in and get adj
vance slips Of them, in order that they
may appear in their publications the same
week that they do in the GAZETTE. 1t
has decidedly bad look for matter to
appear in a paper as original, q week af-
ter being printed in q contemporary, and
besides, locals get stale by the time they
are week old.
